Rudeness in PVP Areas
Okay, I know that Cyrodiil is a PVP zone, however, when people are just playing the Delves or just collecting crafting materials why not leave them alone(as I do). Two or more players attacking one who is not actively taking part in PVP activities is childish.

To those who are going to make rude comments to this post I would suggest that you make your comments, giggle to yourself, pat yourself on the back and think of yourself as being very clever that you put me in "my place". However, you will really be the only one who thinks you are clever.

To the adults that read this comment please keep in mind that there are Delves in Cyrodiil that people would like to complete without being bothered by others. I keep this in mind and when I am in a Delve along with a player from another faction. I will even help them. I do not attack them and think it is funny.

To those who may think "What is the big deal?". When a person has been playing a delve for 15 minutes or more it is quite irritating to be attacked by other players and have to start over. The same is for those that are gathering crafting materials.

To those who wonder "Why gather crafting materials in Cyrodiil?. Sometimes a person can find a lot of crafting materials in Cyrodiil.

well, not everyone shares your mindset.
a pvp area is still a pvp area, there will always be people who just kill others for fun.
thats just something you'll have to live with.
i do get your point and frustration though

if you go in pvp dont expect people to leave you alone if you dont wanna get killed dont go there
its as simple as that and theres far better spots to farm mats then going in cyrodiil where anyone can kill you i dont blame anyone that kills others that try to farm the only one at fault in my eyes are the people that expect to be left alone and not to be killed in a pvp area like cmon srsly dont expect special treatment XD

I hate pvp but they are right, it is a pvp area and all though you might not be there to pvp you still have to be on your toes. Last time I was there doing a quest I got ganked by 3 players and yes it sucks but I also knew it was a pvp area and the possibility of that happening was real. Just do you and stay alert, kids are out of school atm and some jerks are working from home. Don't let them rune your game time.

More than 30 zones in the game where PvP is off, and you go to the ONE zone in the entire game where zone-wide PvP is enabled - just to complain that people are killing each other?

I mean I get that it's annoying, but you really shouldn't be wandering around Cyrodiil if you don't want to engage in PvP. Yes, you can gather a lot of materials in Cyrodiil, but you can also gather a lot of materials in literally any other zone.

To call these people "kids" just because they're in Cyrodiil for it's intended purpose is in itself quite childish if you ask me. And before you accuse me of anything: no, I don't PvP, and I don't usually go to Cyrodiil for the same reason you shouldn't - I don't like randomly engaging in combat against other players. That's why I travel everywhere else but there.

Can you tell me, how to recognize a PVE player in Cyrodiil then? Just because he is in delve, doesn't mean he is completing this one. If you kill a boss in a delve, it will grant you 20% more AP. Therefore many PVP players are going for delves to get this bonus. Now tell us, how to see the difference between PVP and PVE players in delves?

OP , I understand your frustration, as I myself suck at PvP, BUT you need to understand that you are going into their world and as such THEIR rules are to be applied. It would be like going into the swamp with crocodiles and saying to them "please don't eat me, I'm just here to pick the flowers".

They have specific missions in PvP that require you to kill 20 players, 40 players, 20 Dragon Knights, 20 Templars and so forth.

YOU must understand this. IT is THEIR world. WE have all of the rest of Tamreial.

What you need to do is
Do not take it personally

Understand that YOU WILL DIE, A LOT, and I mean A LOT.

Its part of the game
You don't have to go there
If you do go there, than watch your butt, avoid populated ares of the opposing factions.
Equip yourself with "Rapid manuvers" (Assault Line Skill), So you can run like Hell when you see the enemy. Not always possible as many are Night Blade Assassins who are hunting you.

I do not like getting killed either, especially when I'm just minding my own business BUT it is their world.
If you can not accept that then please save yourself the frustration, and anger and don't go there.

I mean... if you jump into a pool you can't complain that you got wet.

Find a friend who is good at pvp, have them help you get a pvp set up and learn how to fight. Then you will be better able to defend yourself. This post is a complaint about not being able to defend yourself in pvp, not because people are attacking you in pvp. If you were able to drive off most attacks, you wouldn't be making this post.

Serious. There are players at all lvl, newer and real veterans.
And sorry to say some find nurishment in destroying for others.
This is not only a ESO problem but a common problem.
Some needs to destroy for others to feel better themselves.
It's just how it is

This game takes long to learn propperly and evolve. It's huge

Due to the entitled nature of your post my first instinct is to as you say "make rude comments" but you wont find anyone doing much giggling. PVP has already been stripped down to the ground with cancel nerfs (which also screws with pve) and zos are focusing more misguided attempts to cater to people whinging about being PKd in a pvp environment.

Try messaging the person who PKd you and they might let you go on your quest. if not get some practice or bring a friend.

I do not PVP at all, that being said, Cyrodil is the only zone where unlimited pvp is allowed - you go there at your own risk, There are many zones that have delves and mats you can farm pvp free. As another has stated - that zone is their world, and you are prey, and it is run on their terms, not yours, you have the rest of tamriel to enjoy, they have cyrodil - not trying to be rude, but deal with it mate.

very true. It's only 1 thing as far as i know you only get in Cyrodil, and that you can buy from the points by killing. No need for more restrictions there. I am certantly not a big guy there more a pray but have no prob. with that. Several veterans have got tired with pve, but we are lucky to have them around us in the game. They have the knowhow....
