The "its war" comments crack me up. Must still be wet behind the ears because this is a video game. Far from war. The people who say it probably would struggle to be in a tough neighborhood let alone a war.

Besides, on another thread, one had a very valid point: they zerged you down because they thought you could put down a camp and let your buddies respawn.
But.......My AP25k AP for that camp for baddies to respawn?!

Exactly, you're right, this is what i want to say!
Using superior numbers is an easy way to victory, so why should i not use it? Same goes for bow and ganking.
My objective is to win the campaign, not to improve my skills or become a better player. So if something makes me win the campaign easier, i will gladly use it.

Plus I hate Zerging and ganking. I don’t want to play those play styles and I don’t want to play with or against anyone who does, seeing as those two are two of the most common play styles that you see there, I ain’t interested. So don’t tell me to try PvP trying to paint it as this cool place that will grow on me. It won’t, so don’t give me that spiel.
You go there for the ‘thrill’ or ‘the feeling’ or whatever. Great, whatever floats your boat. But it’s still just a game, not a real war. So your always going to have people who are treating it like as a fun competitive game instead of a real war as some people seem too.
I'm sorry if it came as patronizing, i didn't mean to: i thought you never tried PVP, and just suggested you might find it fun.
I understand why you don't like it, and sorry again if i came along as rude!

i'm worried it comes from a place of being unable to recognize the disconnect between the game and reality. remember in the early 2000s when every news station liked to pretend people were unable to realise video games aren't like real life and we always laughed?
comments like "it's just like a real war get over it" make me wonder if FOX news was right all along.
edit: not specifically poking at you OP. i see the "well in real life-" excuse/defense pop up a lot in these forums, so it's more directed at the wider issue.

I mean... it's war. Everything goes.
Zerging is a valid tactic for swarming an enemy with numbers, bow is a valid weapon for whittling enemy forces from afar, and so on...
If one needs honorable, balanced matches, than it should look towards BG or Duels.
But war... war never changes.

That's the core issue. I mean it's fine, you can play for the map, you can play for transmutation geodes, you can play for AP or as a random activity in the evening.
Just don't expect to be respected by people with other gaming goals for your playstyle. For those people, you are probably just scum and an example of what is wrong with Cyrodiil.
Which also is a valid opinion, just as your zergling mentality is for you
Honestly, I don't understand it either.
I play solo 90% of the time in Cyrodiil.
I never understand the complaints about getting chased down by groups.
It absolutely happens...but that's because I'm usually harassing a group, picking them off one or two at a time until the group turns and chases.
It like poking at a bee hive and getting upset that the bees dont try to sting you one at a time. I poked the hive, I deserve to be chased down by numbers.
Ps4 NA is in a realm by itself when it comes to toxic behavior, and it mainly comes down to them calling literally every gear set in the game cheese. According to that playerbase, it's all cheese and a carry.
Got accused of using cheese because I used Pirate Skeleton...a defensive set that cuts your healing received by 15% when active. Trading defense for healing is apparently cheese. I use Bright Throat on one of my magicka characters...got told anything giving passive resources back is cheese.
It's absolutely ridiculous. In short, there's never a legitimate loss. Unless you fight naked weaponless, it's cheese...🙄
So while you got people here harping on the "it's not a real war it's a video game" thing, it also for some reason hurts thier ego when they lose, so they complain. They complain about solo or small groups if they zerg, and solo players complain about sets and cheese and zergs. There's no logic.
I expect to die whatever type I play, group or solo, and as far as sets go...if it's in the game, it's in the game. No reason to not use it.
TL;DR : Players are salty because they can't handle taking a L.

The only thing Ive ever hated in CyroPvP is the 1vX builds that take 20+ players to burn down. To me that has nothing to do with tactics but instead broken abilities and a CP system not kept in check.

Why would some getting ganged up on by a zerg of 5+ to 1 hurt their "ego"? If anything, it would good for their ego because it shows their enemies can't t fight fair and have to outnumber and gang up on them to win. So I don't understand that argument at all. There is nothing to feel embarrassed or ashamed about because people have to gang up on you to beat you. If anything, it's their ego that is probably taking the hit.
I know I sure wouldn't feel proud about if I had to gang up someone to win. It would actually make me feel nothing but respect for that person.

That's because you're only talking about half of what I said to try arguing with me. Don't think I dont recognize your name.
You can see in this very thread where people are complaining about 1vX players as well.
It's about losing in general. You get x'ed from a solo player when you out number them, you see complaints. You see a solo player get zerged, you see complaints.
It all comes from the same place...you can't handle taking that L.
But please, keep cherry picking your arguments. It's what you're good at...🤭

I mean, why do 20+ need to chase 1 down?
For example AD owned Nikel and Roe. A zerg approaching Ash saw me, chased me ALL THE WAY TO ROE. 20+ AD.
Are you a console player? I noticed you say X’d lolHonestly, I don't understand it either.

But my point was I doubt anyone gets a bruised ego because they were ganged up on. So I would reconsider that position if I were you - because I seriously seriously doubt that's what is going on here.
