You just wasted more time making a post than it does to sort out the buff.

See, the ability of the customers to settle for mediocrity is part of the problem.

Quests can waste your time and servers can crash. Yet, a portion of the player base have become so conditioned to this treatment they simply regurgitate the same canned responses.

Aka you are stupid if you have issues with a quest chain. Or get gud. Some simply resort to lying and stating getting into Cyro to obtain the quest is effortless and wonderful with zero problems or delays of any kind.

If you were my employees and you told me you are making it as difficult as possible for the customer to use the product..and then told me under perfect conditions the experience is ok some of the time...you would be fired.

Make a product that respects the customers time.

I don’t think the quests are due to any incompetence or to waste your time. For all the people who play the game for what it is....an elder scrolls game, it provides back story and some lore. I’m assuming you were just a hungry speed demon wanting to get into the action and start farming but the mid year mayhem quest is hard to miss. First thing I saw when I logged on. Just need to take half a second and read what’s in your face when you log into a character

might be useful

You assume a lot about people who simply disagree with you. I was and alpha and beta tester here. I have put in hundreds of bug reports, and argued for many changes here on the forums. Many which have been implemented.

I call a spade a spade. And this is absurd. It takes almost no time to get the buff squared away. It is not at all troublesome.

But fight the power, man.

In addition to the point that many others have stated about following instructions, this has also been status quo for any of the holidays/events that I've participated in for the last 2 1/2 years. For the buff, whether it's AP or XP, player needs to use some sort of event-specific object after obtaining it through a brief and easy quest (and the quests don't get any easier than this one), and it's also generally a 2 hour buff. It's not like this is something new that ZOS has sprung on the players. Further, it was the same way for last year's Midyear Mayhem.

You also do not get the AP bonus when turning in BG quests. Still the lame 2k per.

I am pretty sure I got 4k several times yesterday.

you are right, I am wrong, it SAYS 2k but gives 8k

That's literally the case though, except it gives 4K. The quest display message says the regular amount of AP you would get any other day outside the event, but your actual AP earned is doubled if your scroll buff is up. This is what's happening for all quests in Cyrodiil too.
