The Anniversary Event Vs. The unrealistic sense of entitlement.

Dear Zos.
First off, great job with the Event. The exclusivity the Worm Cult Motif is exactly what this game needs. Im glad you stopped pandering to the special snowflakes that believe they deserve everything handed to them on a platter. This is a special event with a rare special motif, there wont be any participant medals awarded.
The best things in life are sometimes rare and are well worth the fight.
Stop complaining because you got ganked at Bruma running solo with your full divines gear. Put your big boy/girl pants on (in impenetrable) and earn those motifs. No one in Cyrodiil cares about hurting your feelings.
Stop complaining because you got all these free motifs just for doing writs but didnt get all the ones you wanted. You will get plenty of motifs by the time this event is over. Its RNG, expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.
You get what you get, and you don't get upset.

✭✭✭✭As much as what op stated is true, if u go to bruma/cropsford/vlastarus to snipe low lvl players, you are still a lowlife, griefer and almost certainly pathetic in PvP, so you need to boost your confidence by killing easy targets.38 -

✭✭✭If your a person with several characters and your salty about not getting enough easy dailies( writs) to get 900 motifs...imagine being the person that has 1 or 2 characters( like me) and having to work hard to turn in 30 a day. Be happy with your 30 plus boxes you can get in an hour. it takes me about 4 hours to hit 30.6 -

Sorry but I don't care that things are rare if they are earned but when there is a " celebration " and lots of people get nothing..what's to celebrate?

While your point might be reasonable, your way of making your point is spiteful, unnecessary, and as far away as it is possible to get from the spirit an MMO needs. What a moron.

Buffing Khajiit would help.
Grinding just make you go in circles.

Karm1cOne✭✭✭✭✭I have no problem with rarity, but this is extreme. By the end of the event only the super grindy or super lucky will have a complete motif. In a few weeks these pages will hit ridiculous prices, and in a few months only the 1% will be able to afford them. There needs to be middle ground. Any other motif is available by spending time, even bouyant armiger. This event is creating an artificial shortage to create a crown store opportunity.16 -

Skua✭✭✭I'm not sure what Cyrodiil has to do with the anniversary event you can get the boxes in pve content? Just confused by your argument. Also I support the people complaining because they should express their opinion about what would be enjoyable for them in an event. They like events where everything is achievable in a reasonable amount of time. You like things to be hard so they can be exclusive. These both are valid views. I don't really agree that a game should be hard because real life is hard that seems weird to me, I get wanting a harder goal though.

The easiest and fastest dailies outside of writs are the town dailies in Cyrodiil. Thats a fact.Psn l---Salty---l

That implies that enough are in circulation. When these are limited by time, and are only available in this short window, prices are going to be out of reach for the vast majority of players.6 -

Oh ok, that makes sense then. I don't go into Cyrodiil much. I've mostly just been doing the writs and world boss ones since those are also pretty easy.1 -

People need to learn to be responsible. You consent to PVP the moment you enter Cyrodiil. Your character's death holds value in the form of AP, and in some cases TV. Gear appropriately, learn to PVP, and be a better player for it.
Nobody grows by having everything handed to them.Edited by ZOS_JesC on April 8, 2018 3:48PM5 -
Bevik✭✭✭✭You guys should just do what you like in game. Add some dailies and if you are lucky you get a nice motif or praxis. I have 9 chars. Took ages to make them ready, level 50, undaunted, lorebooks, skyshards, skill points, gears, etc. Don't complain if you have only few chars so you can't get more boxes. We put some effort into them.
How can someone complain about an event which is giving away very valuable stuffs? Jeez. Get your beep together.
Remember: You are not forced to do things. Don't have to get 40-50 boxes per chars. Do writs some guild dailis and be happy. Don't go Cyro. Stop blaming always others or something else.Edited by Bevik on April 8, 2018 12:40AM4 -

Anyone who has them and not learning them will hold until after the event is over and post on guild traders for huge amounts of money.
The creep of inflation is obvious in this game.
A worm cult motif book was posted today on a guild trader for $2.5 million.
Imagine what the price will be after the event is over and there is no chance of looting it ? $5-$10 million easily.
Now will anyone buy at that price is another story.

It may be kind of scummy, sure, but they have every right to do it. As has been said, when you go into a PVP zone, you kind have to expect there to be, well, PVP.
This is coming from someone who goes into Cyrodiil as a PVE/quester myself, by the way. I don't get mad when I'm killed - I know I'm a bag of easy AP in my gear and CP loadout. Heck, if I had a proper PVP build, I would probably farm me too. :P
But there are ways around this. Either group up with other people and go into Cyrodiil towns in force to do quests, go during the quiet hours of the night when there are few people around, or just... do your dailies outside of Cyrodiil. All of these are options.
Noone's forcing you to get killed and then complain about it. :PEdited by ZOS_JesC on April 8, 2018 3:49PMAKA The Goblinator, PC/EU3 -

You've not really been keeping up with changes coming in Summerset, have you? Changes will mean it is possible to have 5+5 crafted gear plus a monster set. Also outfitting.

✭✭✭✭✭People can also buy any missing pieces of a motif.
By the time the event is over, you will have made a million gold from selling all the motif pieces you don't need. The price of Worm Cult will have also plummeted even further. Just buy the pieces you are missing and stop crying.Edited by MLGProPlayer on April 8, 2018 7:38AM1 -
