Have some cute stories myself from last run, first two was an guild run, we had an policy not to kill solo questers so the guy sneaking right trough our group probably felt like an B2 bomber. Standard was to throw some aoe or LA but he was so funny.
Or the lady going AFK next to a quest giver in an town and coming back to be surrounded by 8-12 enemies, attacking us was not an good idea but I guess she panicked.

Got trolled by one going solo, it was an AD owned overflow campaign, ran into an enemy who looked like he was struggling killing an npc so I let him be and he killed me

I know you'll find it funny but I am kinda upset and I feel like a horrible person. Prolly ruined his night by this

So both alliances were tryna cap towns, castles to approach the scroll we are holding. While pushing back, we killed them in Cropsford. But 2 of them hid in the house. So I told my guildies and we got in and killed them.

But halfway through I realised he was a "Tyro" and tried to "whirling blades" all the way And he was taking a quest

Then I thought of whispering him or her and sending something but I thought it would be awkward

Anyway off my chest topic, he was such a cute Khajiit, and Khajiit make sad sounds when they die :'(

I don't know how people camp these poor fellows, like they are so harmless and dying so easily

And it feels... kinda bad to kill people who can't put up a fight

Or maybe he was a really bad pvp players, Idk those are not uncommon too, sigh

The fact people get upset for killing people in a pvp zone is so baffling. And not in a good way.

Most people in cyrodiil are actively trying to kill questers... and youre apologetic!?

New Cyrodiil daily: Kill 20 questers.

Being a dedicated PvP'er requires certain mindset, which not everybody possesses. It's coming from your archicortex, so those of us who have our lizard brains suppressed by more civilised wrinkly parts prefer rather to cooperate than bully. I would visit Cyrodil more often if I could find some real glorious battles - less seal clubbing, ganking and zergs, more coordinated keep sieges and tactics. PvP in ESO is mindbogglingly boring and crude. And camping quest spots is the lowest of the low.

It's nice for once to feel a lot less like a red rag to a bull when seeing other alliance players.
Fishing in Cyro does that sometimes, town-missions during this festival, and a few instances during witching hours: friendly duels with onlookers.

I've seen some really persevering players doing their town missions, despite being constantly being chased off and being killed. Whispered one that I hoped he would get his missions done despite of it, and he replied "ahwell, that's life".

What I look forward to each Mayhem as well is those players that (re)kindle their taste for PvP
The influx of new (and veteran) blood is the true seed of Cyro.

Its a given I will die in any PvP fight. It does not even bother me that much anymore. These are the reasons I no longer worry about dying:

1. My latency is nearly constantly 450-999+ Half the time I do not even know I am dead yet
2. I just don't have the energy or desire to respect my gear + build + CP for PvP when i am not going to be PvPing all that much
3. Its a chore not a passion - with such poor performance I have 0% incentive to even try get better.

Most fights I just wait to die really ... ... my skills don't even trigger + rubber banding really make standing still the only available option to prevent a disconnect. I cannot set foot in a large group or face a 999+ deadzone of latency, and if I go near a Keep fight I am disconnected.

ESO is in a league of its own I must say. Its the only game that hosts PvP that can bring out the constant "FFS!" in me. No other game in 22 years has managed to do this. The culprits = bunny hopping and ♫ ring-a-ring-a-rock....♫

Midyear Mayhem ruins my game performance like shooting fish in a barrel.. basically I either spend 2 weeks looking at a login screen or read a book.

Last night I got stuck in IC for 3 hours just trying to leave! After every disconnect my game complained of a broken manifest file and I have to reinstall the launcher files!!

It was like a horror movie! Everyone freezes then all of a sudden they move at a flash rate

Welcome to cyrodil I say. I go out of my way to kill every single player I come across no matter if they are a newb pve player or a hardcore pvp player they are all the same to me. If your just trying to quest your going to have to just accept that you are in a zone where players kill players

OP, I hear you. I try not to kill people who are not PvPing. A few weeks back, I was obtaining skyshards in delves in Cyrodiil, and accidentally contributed to another's death... my sorc pets went after their sorc pets and I think they got splash damage from me and died before I realized there was another player there.

Point is, I think it is nice to try and fight with honor but hopefully anyone in the PvP zone understands that accidents happen, and not everyone who contributes to their death has the "too bad for you" attitude.

You really shouldn't feel bad, OP (even though I find it nice that you do). If we PvE people go into Cyro we fully expect to be ganked at some point. I sure know I do and I wouldn't be upset, I mean, that's the nature of Cyro. I've been lucky so far during the event, but I'm pretty sure at some point, someone will kill me - and that's okay, PvP in ESO only gets two events per year while PvE gets... I don't know, 10 or so? I actually find it to be a bit of a thrill, trying to stay unnoticed while fulfilling my objectives. But I probably haven't and people have just been nice as well, because they could see I'm a quester

This happens to everyone, and yes some of us feel guilty, but in the end it's pvp and people die. They resurrect and try again.
Please don't beat yourself up, it's a war out there 💖

I finally figured out a way to "control" my clannfear. If you're playing on PC click and hold Y, click the right mouse button while walking/running away from the aggro radius. I don't know how to do it on consoles, sorry.

I had to do it a few times yesterday and it worked quite well.

Edited: I'd also like to apologize to the player who was entering one of the quest houses when my clannfear attacked. Sorry, I didn't see you in time to step away. I hope my pet didn't do much damage and that it didn't sour your experience that day.

To the person who stepped on my AoEs as soon as I engaged the boss in a delve: Dude, I really, really, really didn't want to harm you, but my AoEs were already on the ground when you came barging in. I'm glad you didn't die, but you should have waited for me to finish the boss since he was already aggro'ed and if I stopped, it would attack me. Sorry you took damage from that fight.

I primarily PvE in this game. That being said, I've played a few games where PvP was just a fact of life and you could get killed just trying to do some questing. I'm not bothered when I go into a PvP area and get killed a few times. Obviously, it's going to happen. However, I think there is a clear line between PvPing and griefing a player who is clearly there just to get a few quests in.
