    Why not? Anything behind the gates is really close to home for that alliance, so people will fight tooth and nail to push other people out, regardless of how harmless they may seem.

    These skyshards belong to Alliance that owns this territory.
    Players of other alliances have no right to use them.
    If you want them - come and take them by force.

    Why on earth would you think you’d be able to report someone for this? The complaints department would just laugh at you and rightly so.

    No point in this, if you'll gank them after, they will never come back and you'll not gank them again.

    Should be more folk like you. :) I wouldn't (PvEer) be so cranky about croaking in Cyro if I could just get the damn objective and get out of you guys' way. Let me catch the fish or collect the shard and then have at.

    If you aren't behind your closed home gates, always be prepared for a ganker. Scratch that, if you aren't in you home base, always be prepared for a ganker.

    How much more prepared should you be for gankers behind the enemy gates?

    Aye, so it is but given that my time for doing this is usually between 0300 and 0600....well, you see the issue.

    Like I said, I don't mind being ganked (and it's almost always a gank situation) but just let me get the bloody objective.

    This is why legitimate reports of cheating and exploiting take so long to process. Silly people wanting to report for things that are simply not reportable offenses clogging up the system. Why on Earth would you think that this is somehow actionable?

    if there is a resource of any kind in a pk area people will spawn camp it.

    this has been true since day one and will remain so until at least the end of the known universe.

    This is what I would do. When a gate is opened that you need a skyshard from... go in there but wait at some random placement where no one traverses through and literally just wait a couple hours. Most people leave them and you can literally walk up to the skyshard and use it with less fear of gankers. You would be surprised at how you can make yourself blend in to avoid others if you know about natural camouflage

    True enough, true enough. That's why the odd occurrences when someone let's you get what you came for stand out so much.

    And obviously not a very smart ganker. If I was going to gank people on skyshards I'd go to IC and get Telvar as a reward waiting. I can't see how just AP alone is worth sitting for half an hour or more waiting for someone to come along. If you suck and just want AP you are better off joining a group and hanging in the back just want AP.

    Love getting those skyshards. Takes either a nice zerg or being incredibly lucky or just a nb sneaking like a b*st*rd. Patience also helps.

    Did get ganked after getting one, but that was very thoughtful of the nice person as I then didn't have to cross miles of enemy territory but just rez at home keep :)

    Skyshards in the DLC areas including IC actually give you credit as soon as you begin the channel, regardless of whether you get killed in the middle of the animation. I don't see why this code change can't be retroactively applied to ALL skyshards in the game - getting to the enemy shards is a miracle to begin with if you are not in the correct faction. If you manage to get there, you've already earned the shard as far as I'm concerned.

    It depends on your motivation. Some players are doing it just for the lulz. It's a personal achievement to spend insane amounts of time waiting for the perfect gank. It doesn't matter that the AP/minute is horrible or that better rewards (like Tel Var) could be gained elsewhere. They want that gank. It's what gives them joy.

    In most cases, the scroll gate being open is the result of some disgraceful zerging/nightcapping/PvD. If so, I have no qualms about killing ppl at the skyshard. I usually let them live the 2nd time they try though.

    I would think the most satisfying skyshard to gank at would be the mountain shard in EP land. You make it all the way up, kill the giant with the skyshard in plain sight then boom. Not that I would do that.

    Reminds me of my weeks of logging in checking cyrodiil every few hours waiting for the gates to be open, b-lining it to the gate just to get rekt by campers at the gate.
    took me so long, they were my last skill points too.
    great feeling when I finally got them

    That or just have so much barriers up they can't kill you so you go right past their defenses : 3 just plow right through their defenses with more defense than they can even knock at.
