As long as I don't have to worry about that outside of Cyrodiil. Any PVP anywhere else will be a game breaker for me. But perhaps there could be quests like: assassinate a member of one of the opposing alliances. In Cyrodiil, of course. Haha, wells that's a shame because I would love it and it would be nice if there was world pvp, for example:

"It is a shiny day in Stros M'Kai, but you spot enemy players, you and your friends decide to ambush them..."

That's one of the things that I love about WoW's pvp servers. (where pvp is allowed everywhere, expect a few sanctuaries) I haven't played TESO yet, but I hope to soon enough, so correct me if I'm wrong. But it would be nice if you could infiltratre into enemy controlled territory, for example someone who is from the ebonheart pact, to bring, let's say a raid of 40 people with him to the daggerfall covenant territory, and started killing players in their territory.

That could be interesting on a dedicated PvP server, but ESO's megaserver technology makes that impossible. A good MMORPG needs a balance between PvE and PvP. Having to constantly look over my shoulder for enemy players would be a miserable experience. The PvP elements should never interfere with PvE elements unless you are in a PvP zone.

I honestly can't stand PvP anyways. I hate fighting other players for the same reasons I hate playing any online elements on a console game: I'm not that good. I'm good enough to do all the single player and PvE stuff, but I don't play any one online game enough to compare to most of the people playing online. Enemies kill me easily, and then allies get pissed that I'm not a good "team player" or some other nonsense. I might be able to get better with an MMORPG since I do play RPGs most of the time, but not without a controller.

I'm not trying to whine about PvP and multiplayer games. I have no problem with their existence or the fact that others enjoy them. I just don't want to be forced into it. I don't need big challenges, that's what real life is all about. So as a casual PvE gamer, I don't want other people harassing me at every turn. I ADORE this game, but if enemy players could randomly attack me anywhere, this game would get deleted from my hard drive forever.
