How about this:

Folks who are OK with the possibility of getting farmed multiple times for AP and/or Telvar should go to Cyrodiil and IC during the event to get their tickets

Folks who are not OK with the possibility of getting farmed multiple times for AP and/or Telvar should do their daily quests before the event starts, and turn them once per day during the event.

I choose the second option, at least for IC daily quests. Because I find IC to be a gankfest during the event, with multiple people waiting in sneak at campable locations. Now Cyrodiil, the daily scout quests are usually OK, it would take more gankers than there are to watch all the possible places in Cyrodiil that you could get sent to on your scouting quest.

I don't mind being killed. Just don't apreciate being killed by the same person multiple times when clearly doing a quest or just running for a skyshard...
That is not PvP. That is just the killer being a jerk, and has nothing to do with PvP.

I just make sure I have 12 tickets on each account whenever it's Mayhem or the IC event. Been really easy the last couple of years, as there's really nothing I want other than the pet these last quarterly morph-its. This year at least, if the final morph is really a neat housing item, I'll want that too - but the end of year events are far more fun and interesting for me than anything pvp ever could be, and there should be plenty of tickets beginning with the Witches event..

I can't think of an easier way to very loudly broadcast to all hostile players within range "free AP located right here!"

To answer your question, no, you should probably just learn to sneak and bring invisibility potions that way people can't see you at all.

I would think wearing green would make them even MORE of a target.

Makes it easier to identify the sheep, I'm all for it.

Yes. Wear a big green market that screams "I'm a quester, don't hurt me."

It makes shows me where the priority targets are

Really people - its a PVP zone. You can NOT go into a PVP zone and not expect to face other players. That's like me queing up for a round of Battlefield, but not wanting to be exposed to gun violence. Its just part of the game and it comes with the event.

Just make a 60k hp+ tank build, most players won't bother with you

A lot of players have their first experience with pvp during the event and to be honest, it's usually not a great one. If you want more focus on pvp then it's not in your best interest to turn players away from it.

Honestly, this is one of the best times to dip a toe into PvP, because this event brings in more players of various skill. Unlike trying outside of the event and going against players who PvP all day, everyday. Yes there are toxic people, but, personally, I've found people to be generally more relaxed and helpful. It's the one time of year where I've actually had a member of a different faction stop their group from attacking because I was just doing the daily in IC (not necessary because I'm a PvPer, but very kind all the same). If players absolutely hate the experience, during the event, then they just don't like PvP, which is completely fine.

LOL! This will only make PvPers go: "Oehw, easy target!"

We should just not have PvP events.

Because zeal of zenithar was such a great event. "spend 5k at a guild trader" great job! your daily is done. Here's your tickets and reward box.

Yes it was. Got my tickets by excavating every day, and noone could prevent me from getting those tickets. Zeals of Zenithar event also made me get rid of over 800 master writs I had saved up. Which got me quite a few resources and companion gears. 10/10 event.

This is the logic I don't understand from complainers. This is exactly the purpose of events, which is to incentivize players to do content they wouldn't normally do, while simultaneously rewarding those who already do it. I don't enjoy killing dragons, WB/DB, doing daily dungeons, etc. However, it's entirely up to me, as a player, to determine how much I am incentivized to do the activities I normally have no desire to do. If you really don't like the content, there is nothing to prevent you from simply not doing it. If you really want the rewards, you just have to suck it up and do content that you don't like every once in a while. PvPers should be allowed to enjoy an event and be rewarded for activities in content they already do. So why is this event always controversial?

PVP events are dumb. PVP should not be required for the tickets for the annual festival rewards.

*Sidenote

Gankers try to kill anyone and everything unsuspecting everyday. That's their "role". Don't take it as a personal attack. I get ganked every single time I go to IC or Cyro (which is almost everyday). Also, be mindful that some of the quest givers are in towns (Bruma, Cropsford, Vlastarus, ) that are worth resources and points for alliances. If an enemy alliance needs to capture it, they will try to, regardless of who is there.

Another tip for PvErs is to check the chat and map for info on where players are going, and where fights are breaking out. Avoid those areas if you don't want to PvP. Stay away from main roads, and use invisibility pots to be less noticeable. And last, but not least, avoid the main PvP campaigns Gray Host and Blackreach.

It's like the only PVP event maybe they should you know PVP? Much like how the PVP players who have to do all the PVE events.

Yeah, but you know, when pvpers do pve, they only have to worry about the npc bosses, npc mobs, and npc critters attacking them. They don't have to worry some super special competitive player character will keep interrupting, attacking and killing them over and over and over and over simply because that is their idea of "fun".

It doesnt matter. You always have those low lives who dont care. One day we had a massive gathering/funeral at the chapel near Brindle for someone who passed in real life. We had 100's of players from AD/DC/EP. And even there we had people bombing . That says it all .

I will let green people go in peace, idc enough to chase them. But I am also color blind currently so best of luck either way.

Or they could of just given the option to get the event tickets in another form, like a crafting quest for war supplies etc.

Locking event tickets in a PVP zone for a game where 90+% of the population has no interest in PVP is just bad design.

And let's not pretend that forcing non-pvp players into Cyrodil for ticket dailies is anything but feeding fodder to potential griefers. People running around with PVE specs/gear have virtually no chance of even defending themselves. Go into a battleground with a PVE setup and see how well you fair lol

I have no problem with a PVP event itself, also fine with it having unique rewards. But event tickets locked to Cyrodil is just bad. Not when they tie future rewards to the ability of farming them for morphs.

Good luck with that suggestion, OP. I do the PvP events, even though I suck at PvP, fully expecting to be slain in about 2 seconds or less. I also try to save up some quests to turn in once the event actually starts — much less stressful for us PvE’ers.
