    Only because developers opened this zone for a PvP doesn't makes it mandatory for you to fight on sight there.

    Like there's water in toilet basin, but you don't have to drink it if you are not too thirsty.
    I'm sorry, but please stop this self righteous nonsense. Cyrodiil is a warzone. Bad things happen in warzones. This also means the killing of 'innocents'. If you, knowing you could get killed by another player, dare to go questing in a warzone... don't complain when you get killed. The PvE aspect is very cool for those that love to do their questing with the tension of danger possibly lurking around every corner. If you want to quest and be safe, don't go into cyrodiil. Simple as that. Geez...

    Just now on EU Haderus I was bombing my quests in Cheydinhal, when suddenly one of the cp600 blue showed up. To make it clear, they have only two forts right now (primary ones) and this dude made a good run of 15-30 minutes to get there. I had no intention to kill him there because I'm sure he's not looking for miserable amount of AP in Cheydinhal. But the guy was so eager to get in a fight so I had to tear him a new one. And then I felt sorry for him. Sorry for him being so stupid. I actually saw him trying to run away at some point. So don't be that guy.

    The best experience in this entire game was near the beginning after launch when people in Cyrodill did quests and PvP'ed. It was the best times ever and I wish the whole game was one big entire map with no loadingscreens and was fully PvP.

    But we only have Cyrodill and I am content with that, but don't take away the PvP in quest towns. Every PvP'er has done it and had a blast. You can too. Don't be afraid, have fun.

    I once cleared the dolmen in Bruma together with a DC player. We both refrained from using AoEs and we kept to opposite sides of the anchor points in order not to hit each other. If you want to clear the anchors, delves and do the settlement quest, you can do it by playing in Cyrodiil at odd hours, when few people are in those campaigns.

    I've been having a lot of fun questing in Cheydinhal on my Argonian magblade. My alliance is massively under-represented on that campaign so I'm always surrounded by enemy players. But if any of them aggro me, I'm vanished and across the river before their attack even connects :wink: rapids + cloak + concealed weapon + Argonian means swimming veeeery quickly!

    This, in all the rest of the game you can quest without enemy players.
    Did some of the daily back then I was vr1, also did all the non daily quest for achievement.
    The added risk is an fun factor only, I did this on an low pop campaign and it was few other doing the quests, if I saw enemy players I tended to avoid them.

    Issue with this event is that lots of people do the dailies in Cyrodil towns ramping up the number of encounters.
    Probably an idea to group up.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Being a pure PvE player, I'm against this.. As soon as you walk into a PvP zone, of your own free will, you sign up for getting killed.. This is their playground, and it runs on a different ruleset

    What is this violence free you speak of? I go to Cyro to fight. Not hug. Questing in Cyro is SUPPOSED to be violent. The added tension of potentially running into smurfs or yellow bellies makes it all the more fun.

    I'm not a big PvP player, but I disagree. That entire zone is supposed to be PvP, it adds to the regular quest to know you can get jumped. There are plenty of PvE dailies to choose from elsewhere.

    Sorry bro, I'm farming those towns for special set items. I want to make 10 quests within 15 minutes, no point in kicking some noobs ass wasting my time on it? Fun? I have a PvP build made to have fun inside zerg. Running after some poor cp10 PvE fella wasting time is no fun to me. If I want ap I will go heavy ap harvest. If I want quests I want to make them fast on shortest route possible. On PC EU I see alot of people showing respect to each others time in quest zones.

    This is a pretty selfish argument. Are you incapable of looking at things from a different perspective than your own? All I read is "I want" "I have". Just because you don't feel it is worth it, doesn't make it so for other people. Try looking past your own preferences and into what is reasonable for most people.

    At Cyro, if am questing, I tend to leave every one alone. But once in a while some one will want to pick a fight. I usually walk away, let them have whatever, since there is plenty more to get.

    But if they do chase me, then a fight is on.

    Maybe we should have the option of carring a flag that says 'just questing'?

    Then again, Cyro is a PVP place, that is the whole purpose of Cyro.

    Seconded.

    With respect to everyone involved here, to me these sorts of threads make PvE'ers out to be a bunch of delicate snowflakes that can't handle any kind of conflict/difficulty when doing their glorious questing. I understand the frustration, believe me I do. Players killing you when you're trying to quest blocks you from completing your goals which I'm sure is infuriating, but so does an extremely difficult boss/mob. You might have to try 3, 5 , or more times to kill that boss/mob. It just bothers you more when it's a player b/c they have the option not to kill you, but they still do.

    We really can't make those places non-pvp now anyway b/c of the flag objectives there. ZOS isn't going to remove that after all of the work that I'm sure they had to do to implement it.

    I don't mean any of this to be insulting or anything, just sharing my opinion/angle.
