    Why it shouldn't be? It's valid as any other stuff you can do in-game...

    I like how very explicit the explanation on that achievement is. And that achievement might be something you actively pursue if the reward is good or you are just an achievement hunter. Normally you would just let that achievement accumulate in the background and not actively go after it. Endeavors are tasks meant to get you out into the world. Why would it ask you to get accosted if you could also avoid that? Is it fun to get accosted and flee? I always thought the part that comes before being accosted is more fun, especially if you can get away with it not being noticed...

    Eitherway, I think this endeavor is backwards. It is asking something of you that is potentially bad. Would you like an endeavor that asks you to delete 5 items from your inventory? Obviously there is Alkahest and bait that you could delete with no hesitation. Or "break the antiquity 5 times", "fail to dig up bonus loot when digging for an antiquity" "abandon a Maelstrom Arena quest at the last stage".
    It just kind of goes against what the activity is meant to be. That is how I see this endeavor. But that's another thread. My main issue is with the confusing description.

    This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.

    Greetings!

    We have recently removed several comments for Baiting which is a violation of the Community Guidelines as follows:
    • Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.
    With that being said, we ask that future posts are kept civil, constructive and on topic within these guidelines. For any questions regarding the rules, please feel free to review them here.

    Thank you for understanding.
