Noone forces you to enter IC. But if you do, just don't complain about players that play by IC rules.

I get it you don't like PVP, and you'd rather have de-PVP'ed PVP zones, so it suits your preferences better. Same goes the other way round though, other players have other preferences. Guess we all have to live with what the game offers and act accordingly.
See, I for one do like the occassional PVP but I don't like Battleground drama. So I just don't do Battlegrounds, easy as that. I also don't like farming dungeons for gear for the umpteenth time, but I still like the gear, so I just do it and live with the boredom and watch NFX in the background to ease the burden.

well, I think we're pretty much done here as we both made our points and it starts to get repetitive.
One thing though, if you're talking about preferences, start talking for yourself and not in the name of 'people'. As I for one don't feel included in your 'people'.

One of the problem is, that - in contrast to what you are saying - it's not that clear whether or not people are limiting themselves to PvE. When you are on your way from A to B during a quest in IC, you are just a player running around in a PvP (yes yes... and PvE) zone. Nothing distinguishes you from a regular PvP player. And even if you are fighting a mob, you still might as well be a pure PvP player who happened to bump into a mob.
One possible solution would be an option to activate a visual flag that turns your name white or whatever, basically indicating that you are not interested in PvP, so PvPers might hold back and let you do your thing, knowing that you're probably not able to defend yourself. But using such a flag could be exploited and it still would not guarantee a save PvE experience.

It's a PvP zone. You need to be prepared for this, specially in an event time which brings a lot of players into the zone.

It's a fact, not a lie. What are you really expecting when you go into a PvP zone while there's an event going on in there!? Are you expecting that other players leave you alone because they see you fighting a mob for some PvE quest?! If you want to PvE quest in a PvP zone do it when there's not an event going on in there... Do it at low pop times... IC is pretty dead outside events...

and im gonna ask again and again , maybe i should open a thread of my own at this point. Why do you "have" to got there? you can get everything in game in your safe pve, why is it a "must"?
People can kill you for any reason. that doesnt make them ignorant , inhumane, un-emphatetic or whatever you call them.
Tickets? you can get it with pve.
Sets? you can get it from guild vendors.
Cosmetics? same. from guild vendors.
Also you dont even have to equip your pve gears. almost eveything dies easily just like in overland and the ones that dont die easy , you will need a group anyway so doesnt matter.

i said those becausr if you want those you didnt have to go there. but yeah for quests you can equip bright throat/crafty alfiq or hundings/ spriggans and do fine. no nrrd for pve stuff. good luck.
note:immov and invis potions are awesome for every class.

Who's talking about the current event? What about people who just want to do the IC/Cyrodiil quests? What about those who just wants to make a group and fight the (multiple) bosses there and in the IC sewers? What about those who just wants to farm some Tel Var for X item without having to bother about some guy stealing them? There's much more to this endless PvP/PvE debate than merely the current IC event, and you know it.
[snip] At most, like I said before, it's Cyrodiil the zone that could be considered more PvP-designed. But in my book, PvP'ers are the trespassers in the IC, and not otherwise.
Remove the stupid Alliance flags and PvP damage, and it's basically a normal DLC expansion.

It does make it VERY frustrating, but I am trying to understand the point of this and whether they feel good when they are done or something else.
(This is a real question. I could easily rant, but I am not trying to do that here.)
Are any of you who are here (and will admit it) able to give insight on that behavior?

Trespassers. LOL

You sure treat PvE'rs like trespassers, why shouldn't we answer in kind?
Also, "enemy players" is just a red thin line away from regular Alliance NPC's, and you also lose Tel Vars when dying to NPC's.
Also, words can be changed, if given the need :P

For the 70000th time, try using invis while battling mobs, see if it works.
And inmov is useless because any decent PvP'er has both the experience to deal with them to spare, and probably CP points/gear to mitigate them. All they'd do is to delay your death by a few seconds. PvP'ers inmov each other is basically their bread and butter. Like if the puny inmovs of a random PvE'r are gonna affect them in the slightest.
And also, the sets you mention doesn't make ANY difference whatsoever. BTW, Briarheart > Spriggran any day. Tried both, not looking back.
I did this once to a guy in the Sewers near my gate about three-ish years ago. Ended up with the single biggest Tel Var haul I've ever gotten before or since.
And I still feel guilty about it to this day. It's sleazy. I was sleazy for doing it.
