PVE oriented players usually stick to the newer campaigns and the PVP players who are more sporadic all join up in their normal campaigns. So more often in the main campaigns, you are seeing an influx of PVP players who are joining up to PVP due to the event.

I would think that most PvEers that just want the tickets would just pick one of the spun-up CP-enabled no-lock campaigns? At least that's what I did last year. No point in a PvEer that only wants tickets to load into a regular campaign. But, I guess if someone has never been to Cyrodiil before, they just pick the first one, since they don't really know what they're doing?

I'm sorry players are having issues getting in, but really, if ZOS didn't have event tickets available, I think you'd see a lot less PvEers trying to get in. I ignored this event until last year, when they added event tickets. Though I must say that I enjoyed doing the town dailies and seeing a little bit of Cyrodiil. Didn't enjoy the laborious way of getting around the zone, though.

I think you could be right about people just picking the first one. I know that's what I did the first couple of times I went to Cyrodiil, I wasn't sure what any of the stuff on the menu meant so I just picked the first one and thought I'd figure it out later and I've seen a few people in guild chat saying they're doing the same thing.

I've been encouraging anyone who doesn't know the difference or doesn't care which specific campaign they get into to check the queue times and pick the quickest one, but it has got me thinking maybe ZOS should have re-ordered the list so the campaigns most popular with PvPers are at the bottom.

Reorder a list?

That’s too much dev time. We don’t have alphabetical lists in crafting stations.
It took five years for guild trader text search.

Reorder a list? No ETA.

Went to a PC-NA 7 day non-CP to do my scout run. Cyro screen popped up 6 times just to stop my horse, game crash to desktop. One more Cyro screen to stop my horse and then it ran fine for me to finish the quest to get my 3 tickets.

Decided not to worry about working on my fishing with all of that happening...lol

On PC EU, on a DC character, I've been skipping between servers looking for one where the gate to the last skyshard I need is open or likely to open soon and the only ones I've had to wait more than a couple of minutes to get into are the two alliance locked campaigns, which are also the first two on the list.

I doubt PvEers are specifically choosing an alliance locked campaign to go in and do one quest then leave again (and if they were I would have thought the queue would cycle more quickly as people enter then leave a few minutes later) but I know allianced locked campaigns were asked for repeatedly for a very long time by PvPers so I can imagine they're very popular now they're available. On that basis it seems like most of the queue is the result of PvPers, and maybe simply the fact that they're at the top of the list so anyone just picking the first one they come to will go there.

So I definitely recommend anyone who doesn't need to play on one of the alliance locked campaigns picks a different one, at least while the event is going on.

Once again MYM is a mess. Those of us who have committed to Home campaigns and playing the map, etc. are getting screwed for our commitment to PvP instead of rewarded. It's a great idea for an event, love the extra AP and ZOS rarely does anything nice for the PvP community BUT flooding the campaigns that we work so diligently on with PvE'ers makes no sense! Why not have the event but if people haven't homed the campaign, create a temporary one? It's frickin 10 am here and the queue is an hour long - on a week day!

its ok guys theyre going to fix this like the undaunted event because we pvp players get the same treatment and respect as pve players

Bad day to do that, wait until the later part of the event. Last two years the overflow campaigns turned into kind of PvE Cyrodil there the entire map was one color for one faction.
That is then you get skyshards and farm the town quests, not the first day.
First day is the day for zerging or ganking, just make sure you do one quest.

Now another issue you need the scroll and you have to enter cyrodil to get it.
