Imperial City is a PVP zone, as it is a part of Cyrodiil. If you don't like PVP, you aren't forced at all to play there. Enforce the rules that were in place initially is fine. No queue outs. Losing Tel Var Stones isn't a big deal - the Imperial Fragments is where the real gold is at.

Not for me. I sold all my fragments when they were still a currency you could sell. I haven't spent one in ages. Couldn't tell you even what order of magnitude of fragments I have. But I'm still trying to get all the sets from IC, and most of those are only available via tel var and (the now much rarer) scamps.

I've voted blue for another reason: it's counterproductive
PvPers will avoid carrying any Tel Var with this limit in place since they still want to be able to queue for Cyrodiil and BG. That's really problematic and undermines the idea of IC.

Another concern is that the Imperial Sewers farm will be affected (nerfed) as collateral damage by this change and it's already empty...

Therefore, i see 2 major reasons why this change cannot be applied under these condition

PvPers will just queue for a BG or Cyrodiil before going up topside. You can remain in queue and accept the queue even if you have over the TelVar limit, this just prevents you from queueing out instantly at the sight of danger.

I can see why they don't want people to port out in the middle of combat. Fine. But why can't you port out when you're not? That's just stupid and pointless and tedious and is already discouraging people from going there at all. Is that going to make anything better for anyone?

There actually ARE monsters in IC, and quests, and fishing, and it's possible to get tel var from monsters just from wandering around. So should we be trapped there?

I don't want to waste time and energy walking back from wherever I've gotten to. If I could sign out and find myself back somewhere else when I signed back on later, that would be fine also. But that also doesn't happen.

Time is valuable. I play for fun. When I'm done, I want to leave. I'd like to leave with what I earned.

If some player kills me and gets half of my tel var, that's fair - it's a legitimate risk.

But just being trapped there because of a stupid, pointless game change? No.

So I'll be in IC a lot less. PvP players will not get as much off of me; I won't be there earning tel var from monsters then potentially being killed by players. I'm not the only one. Have fun with that.

Is this mechanic currently in the game? People can no longer queue out of the Imperial City? I totally missed this, and had hoped for years they'd add something like this.

yes it is which is why ic is jst as empty as the sewers right now.

Because people are scared?
And someone mentioned a exploit that allows to teleport out anyways?

lolololol you guys crack me up.
scared... lolololol This is a game and when you change the rules so it is no longer appealing to play, people don't.

Forgive me. I did not mean it in a mocking manner. Just trying to understand why this change made this happen.
