So yes as you can see I'm going to complain in this article.

I like this event and even when I don't get a motif I normally get decent stuff minus those few times where you get red meat or guts. I do sort of hate the event because the motif market is going (probably already has) crash. But I can live with that since with the new expansion maybe we'll get new players since that seems to be the only focus of zos/bethesda instead of keeping their long term players that have been subbed and bought way to many crowns. But I digress.

The most efficient way to get anniversary boxes are Daily craft Writs. I mean you can sit all your alts in say Vivec City were all the craft stations and the turn in points are really close together. I'm okay with this sure it's causing me to run out of style stones and materials to craft on 8 toons but I can live with this.

Everyone says that the next best way is to go and do World Boss (WB) and Guild dailies. The issue is that you only get 1 of these per zone, yes some zones have multiple dailies. But unless you get a group that's organized ahead of time you can't always guarantee how many dailies you get from shares if you get any at all.

At this point if you're lucky you got 20 dailies done in possibly 2 hours. The issue is that you have to rely on others to share multiple dailies if you want more. Also there are so many people on that there is lag when porting to wayshrines that get you closer to the objective or turn in point. You just can't do these fast you have to port around or run around on foot/horseback. Than you have to enter phases here and there and all the while you're dealing with a high population that is causing lag.

So where do you go to get the motifs you need? Since zos made it so the only way you can complete the brand new Worm Cult set is to get it from the anniversary boxes. But wait they made it THE MOST RARE motif drop of the event. So we get 12 days out of 365 days this year to get the Worm Cult set on a toon (yes technically it's 13 days but we can't really count the 16th because zos will probably decide to do maintenance that Monday).

The answer is Cyrodiil Town Dailies but that's a pvp zone. There are 5 towns with 10 dailies each. 2 of these towns are not portable to. 3 of those towns are capture-able and 1 of those towns allows you to go into the buildings to pick up the dailies without having the enemy faction attack you. With these dailies you can get all 10 done in 30-50 minutes. But the key issue is it's pvp. So yes there are people that just want to pvp and think that it's free ap to pick off the people that just want to get fast easy boxes. The town dailies normally only have 1 delve quest. But than there a few towns that make you run half of cyrodiil to finish. The 5 towns are a bit unbalanced so when enemy pvpers say well go to your town to do dailies it's annoying.

I would like to see a pvp free campaign made for the anniversity event that or have zos make it so you can't attack enemy factions in the towns. Maybe make it so you can't get AP in the towns. And before someone who thinks they know it all says well you can't do quests any way while a different faction owns the town, you are WRONG. You can still pick up quests and if certain people would get over not having a free death port to the town let the other factions kill the guards so we can go into the 2 towns that have guards around the quest locations.

Though I would hate to see it happen but maybe the best thing to really do would be to remove the dailies from Cyrodiil completely. I like to pvp and yes I get bored sometimes I like to just wander around on mine own and enjoy the zone maybe we need to make it so there's no point of pve in the zone. (But than again the low lvl people would complain that they can't get their only kills possible by attacking people that just want to do quests and refuse to attack the person)
