Nine of the 10 dailies in Cheydenhal (middle of the map in EP territory) are really simple and many involve not leaving the town. You can pick up two quests at a time since there are two NPCs, so you could complete both, turn one in, then wait til the next day to turn the other in, then repeat.

One of the quests from the female NPC involves going to a delve that's a pain to get to, so if I get that one I just abandon it then talk to her again til I get a different one.

They still may involve being killed by someone farming PVE players

If a city is solidly controlled by your alliance, you're likely to be safe doing quests there.

Bruma has a quest where you never have to leave the building (close three portals). It's really rare to have an enemy player interfere with that.

The city deep in DC territory has one easy quest (kill 4 nearby atronachs).

The city deep in EP territory doesn't have anything quite that simple, but there still are easy quests that you're unlikely to get enemy player interference with.

I know exactly how you feel about pvp. The whole concept of harassing, killing and griefing other players doesn't appeal to me. Some people crave that call of duty type of warplay while others like myself are more light hearted, kind, social housing and crafting nerds. The key is pick one of the low population servers that come out just for the event and go with a friend. Just hope you done run into griefers

• 1. PvEers are generally advised not to go to Greyhost beause it is a 30 day campaign based on winning the map in the main and is alliance locked so the serious PVP guilds tend to play there on PCNA. Despite this, several regular PvPers yesterday took a bunch of non alliance skills, wrong gear wearing, no siege equipped PvEers recruited from LFG in ZONE CHAT out to get their resources capture quests done. This happened on and off for the several hours I was on. Grand Overlords leading PvE pugs around by the hand because these 'light hearted, kind, social housing and crafting nerds' just want the rewards from a PvP event without fighting players, and like you, they couldn't solo a resource, so even PvEing against NPC's, was out of the question. They really needed help. They got it. But PvPers aren't kind or helpful?
  
• 2. Multiple PvPers wrote guides/did videos to help you all do the event without fighting other people but these people who did this out of community engagement are are all lumped together in your insults too. Apparently we are all unkind bullies for helping out strangers?
  
• 3. We often take new and experienced players PvPING during midyear mayhem in several social guilds. Our group laugh, play Parkor when doing horse simulator on the way to resources, laugh at ourselves when we stuff up and die over and over, sing songs we make up about the enemy or fight, buy siege for new players and hand out PvP gear to guildies for free. But we couldn't possibly be characterised as 'light-hearted' because it wouldn't fit your assumptions.
  
• 4. An area designed for player verus player where fighting occurs on a common rule-set is NOT 'harassment'. It is simply a competitive match or game...like football or w/e sport or game (chess) you prefer. It involves strategy, advance planning and team work if you choose. But apparently chess players who don't let you win just for turning up are nasty aggressive humorless people in your world?
  
  I am an over 50 year old female player, I HAVE CADWELL'S GOLD, MASTER CRAFTER, HERO OF TAMRIEL, 3 FULLY DECORATED HOUSES. I've done or attempted all vet TRIALS, done all DUNGEONS, done alll the DLC regional quest exploration etc. completions except the last release, and I've NEVER PLAYED A WAR GAME IN MY LIFE. There are so many PvPers like me. At least 20% of my little PvP guild is the same.
  
  But you wouldn't know that we PvPers actually play the rest of the game because you are ignorant of OUR part of the game and have decided a chunk of the player base are awful. I guess we regular PvPers won't be helping many PvEers (who think like your post) to a group to get your tickets for your Indrik because you wouldn't deign to speak to us evil bullies, let alone type LFG in zone and ask for help.

For Cyrodiil tickets, scouting missions can be a way to avoid PvP if you're willing to sneak slowly abd carefully across Cyrodiil to reach your assignment. Otherwise you can try doing a city quest, but you can't always avoid PvP that way

I used to do that when I first started but (playing on PC EU) I've found it's not really necessary.

At first I would always make sure to wear dull colours to camouflage my character and would go around the very edges of each area, staying as far away from roads as I could, sneaking any time I thought I might be exposed. I'd carefully watch gate houses to make sure no one was around before sneaking in and out the other side. Then I'd sneak all the way back after I'd finished.

After a while though I realised I wasn't really avoiding anyone because I never saw anyone. Away from the main roads or areas currently under attack it's rare to even see another player, and if you do there's a chance they're also trying to do a quest and will avoid you too.

Now I just ride as straight as I can to my destination. I still change my clothes, hair and mount but more for immersion than practicality and I stay off the roads but they're usually not going straight anyway (which is odd now I think about it, given the Imperials are based on Romans and they're famous for making their roads as straight as possible).

It has the same effect - you're away from the action and therefore unlikely to run into other players, but it's a lot faster.
