PvP really is not a solo activity. Sorry for your frustration but this sounds like perfectly acceptable gameplay, not even in the griefing category.

Well u can group up but organized groups are very harder to defeat and especially when emperor is among them!

From your reply seems like either you are making fun of OP post or simply know nothing!

sounds like pvp happened in a pvp zone

as frustrating as it can be you are in a pvp zone expect to die, know you will die, and fortunately death is not permanent in a vid game.

are you a milk drinker or a dignified toon that accepts the eventual outcome in a pvp zone and die with dignity instead of complaining pvp happened in a pvp zone.

prepare yourself with invisible potions repair crates soul gems and even gear your toon like you would if you were going into a vet dungeon or trial; the gear is easily accessible on the ah and relatively cheap. If you are not preparing your toon for the inevitable environment in a pvp zone then save us all from these whining threads for a virtual costume please that can be easily obtained with gold, trade, and last wk of the event.

OMG! I just wrote and said I had a main character that I've completed the achievements on, so why would i not know about the right gear, etc. for pvp? The problem, as Ive stated, is the event being held in Cyrodiil, and the problematic behavior of some players who camp quests and kill other alliance players just for the fun and to prevent them from completing their quests.

Respectfully I disagree with OP

I have managed fine in larger groups, solo and in a duo.
We also have guildies who have never been to Cyro enjoying a level of success.

It is not undoable, If it is important to you then you need either a little help or some trial and error to find success. I will agree it can be a challenge which means it will not be handed to you on a plate.

It's doable, but it's not fun at all. I think I got fed up with Cyro and its inhabitants during the weekend so I'm going back to my normal quiet gold digging activities till 25th.
Tharn motifs are trash anyway. I've put all 10 pages I got for sale.

So if you don't like Tharn style as well, don't suffer and just relax for the rest of this trashy week.

I think opposing factions working together questing, not capping, not pvping in general and what not, is exploitation of the pvp zone and it's basic gameplay aspects. Not much different than organized multifaction keep AP farming from a while back.

If you really want to run your quests in peace:

1. Take 15 minutes to respec to a high HP, high resists build. It's not about actually winning fights, it's about being time-consuming to kill. As someone who has been actively ganking towns this week, if I see someone running around with 45k HP, generally I'm not going to bother. They're going to take too long to kill to be worth it, more people will come by, etc. etc. Doesn't help against the 4-10 man groups that can roll in, butcher the entire town, and roll out, but will save you some grief from gankers.
2. Quest at Cheydinaal or Chorrol/Weynon. The groups rarely clear those towns, and even solo/duo gankers are less likely to go there.
3. Be patient and campaign hop a lot. You'll find somewhere relatively peaceful--often the campaign that is 3bar of "your" faction isn't the right campaign, as other factions will have low pop bonus, and those 4-10 man groups may drop in to alpha predator the entire server for a couple hours. On the other hand, if you are in one of those 3bar-1bar-1bar servers, your faction has a HUGE quest zerg in one place, your emp is active, etc. etc., then it's probably enough of a safety margin to not worry about it.
4. Don't QQ, rez and ride back (or somewhere else).

No one is entitled to be able to complete or maximize the event. If you and/or your group don’t have the PVP chops to progress in the event, then there’s always next week.

Emp is sitting at a town farming!? Sounds like a g’time to push dethrone...

Yes happening in Newly Opened Camapigns

If you're trying to get Cyro quest achievements, can't you just do them after the event is over?

I mean, do you just HAVE to get the Cyro quest achivements on your alt THIS WEEK..?

they should have not choose cyro for a pve event, it's pure frustration to get ganked and farmed in the locations of the event.Next time zos use another zone thank you

The Anniversary event is not a PVE event.

Its the Anniversary of ESO.

Last I checked, PVP in Cyrodiil was Base-Game ESO, town quests included.

And yes, ZOS consistently expects players to play ALL of the game if they want ALL of the rewards.

I'm a PvE player mostly...but i have 2 pvp toons dedicated to ganking/farming telvar/solo taking resources. My view is...you enter a pvp zone and cry pvpers are griefing you. I have 4 solutions for you that work 90% of the time that I've tested.

Solution 1. Wear impen gear. This will keep you from being one shotted and give you a fighting chance. You will still die so get use to that but you won't be dropping in 2 hits.

Solution 2. Play early hours. Most of the gankers are kids and they are usually at school doing the early hours. Not a lot of people on then and you can relatively farm in peace.

Solution 3. Go to a no CP campaign. Did this yesterday myself...doing peek hours. There was maybe 4 gankers on the whole map. I didn't encounter any of them myself. I did see reds and yellows in the same towns with me but no one was attacking each other. Everyone was just doing the quest in peace.

Solution 4. Just stay out of pvp zones and by the pages from the guild trader or use your tickets. Pages where being sold for as low as 15k on some traders....i know because i was checking myself to see how much the sold for.

Easy solutions....

I have an alt character I've been trying to get achievements completed on. However, one faction or another has continuously captured and camped towns and then killing anyone who tries to come in for their quests. I've seen and read alot of posts regarding this issue, so it's not just a handful of players complaining. Iv'e seen this happen all day, into the night, and especially on weekend. There are alot of pve players who want this week's pages, but can't get them in Cyrodiil. I haven't got even one Tharn page this week. Surely Zos knew this crap would happen, yet they probably sit in game, watch this happen to players and laugh. Talk about un-sports-like behavior. I was just in Sotha Xbox NA and the same two reds, among other reds, who controlled Vlas and Bruma, came to Crops to take and camp it so other reds could do their quests, but I can't do mine, anywhere. I know the gt's of the reds because I was killed by those two at Vlas and Bruma before finally making it Crops where I got to do 2 quests only. Thanks for nothing Zos.

What I am finding that works for me is having PVE alts that are in different factions. Right now, I have alts in AD and EP. And Guest campaign is your friend. XYZ campaign too dangerous for solo AD questing? Log off, get on your EP character, and race around with Rapid Manuevers running on a fast horse, finishing every quest in the now EP controlled town before AD or DC gankers show up. When they show up, switch back to AD. Or switch campaigns, since you are a guest, it costs you nothing to switch. Honestly, I wish I had a DC alt leveled. I'm getting motif and style with PVE solo play, by switching alts (factions) and campaigns (guest).
