If you are so against PVP why do u want malacaths
Band?
I wouldnt like a opt out cyro since people who couldnt take damage running around in the middle of battle would be annoying, one could argue for a pve cyrodiil campaign and/or Imperial City, how ever that would be a zone with really low content compared to over pve zones, not sure how that would look to people not knowing the history of that zone. New players might think its a badly made zone.
Also take a moment to think how this request sounds like, you are essentially asking to reap the rewards without the risk, this would be like pvpers asking for easy mode trials, "please take out the mechanics they are too hard". Not to mention the telvar purchased items and alchemy mats being much easier to come by impacting the eco.
tldr: You want the band of brutality? endure some brutal pvp

I am a soloist as well, and one of the beautiful things about ESO is that if you are unable to get something because of your playstyle preferences, you really don't need it (as @Destyran rather succinctly said). I won't do vet DLC dungeons, trials or PvP. That is fine in a way because the content I do enjoy provides perfectly good gear for how I play.
As far as PvP itself goes, I am simply grateful that, for careful PvE soloists, it is quite possible to get any Alliance skills you might find helpful. Beyond that, my PvE soloist was able to comfortably get two event tickets every day during this recent Midyear Mayhem. I find it helpful to view my rare forays into Cyrodiil as entering the realm of PvPers - I am just a terrified PvE visitor when I do so. Let those who live and fight there all the time decide how it should work there.

The Devs didn't accidentally put the Malacath lead in Imperial City.
The Devs didn't forget that Imperial City was a PvPvE zone.
The Devs didn't forget that lots of players don't like PvPvE zones.
Instead, the Devs gated one lead of Malacaths band behind the risk of PVP happening in a PvPvE zone. They intentionally expect players to risk PVP to get it.
If you opt out of the risk, why do you think you deserve the rewards?

It's a video game, man, for enjoyment and entertainment. Some of you folks just take this game too seriously. Ha ha. It's all good. Whatever gets you through your day. I'm otherwise have enjoyed this game just frolicking around tamriel with my toon even in undies barefisting adds. Ha ha. Don't really need the band, but would be nice to have it; just hate PvPing and would be nice to not have to PvP in IC or Cyrodiil. Beside, I would only be there for a short purpose like to get the band in IC and not really engaging in PVP all day like the rest of the PvP purists.

This is a pretty good point, pve builds are heavily crit focused. Malacath isn't gonna do u much good unless you are in fact trying to pvp.
On the broader topic.... A lot of pvers ask for this and pvpers always come back "if we gotta do your pve stuff then you gotta do our pvp stuff."
I think the core of the objection is that people running around IC in "safe mode" would detract from the ambiance of the place - part of the charm is that it's an open world free for all where mystery and danger lurk around every corner. If you can just turn pvp off then it's.... just another pve zone with more advanced dueling options.
There are other more concrete objections - this would make it dramatically easier to farm the zone, so tel var and AP would not really be pvp rewards anymore, which would basically remove all the in game incentive to pvp.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure purist PvPers will have a field day with this, but I don't care. How about such option, ZOS, for PvP wimps like me? Damn, PvP and PvPers are just so brutal!

Nahh.. I'm not a crit build for PvE. I prefer more damage build. Yes, to each their own and playstyle, and I'm not going to get into a build debate. In PvE, my playstyle is soloist and I like all damage build for all my stam and mag toons.
