SO getting bored in PVE I decided to play in cyrodiil for a while and it was a good wake up call that I was wasting time.
When people think of mmo pvp or least when I do I think of building a character that functions in both modes because compitent game designers know that people are building a character to do just that.
Not ESO, ESO is the special snowflake. ESO decides to pack the game full of armor sets that don't function the same in PVE and PVP. They decided to almost create a new mitigation system pvp that "balances" the shit show they have with the different armor sets.
All of sudden magicka doesn't function as magicka , stamina is magicka, health is stamina . it is so stupid that people try and say it's deep and interesting.
It's about as deep as nothing. The game has created aan illussion of elitism thasat is makes me want to vomit. There is so much gear in the game, that if you don't have the exact cookie cutter set up as everyone who is one shotting people, you might as well not ever go into the zone.
Cyrodiil was reral eye opener, and the final nail in my ESO distater.
My account is now deleted fpr ESO, all the money spent was for nothing.
I'm going back to only playing Korean mmos exclusively because western mmos are literal trash from head to toe.

It is indeed your ESO disaster. Happily it has now concluded. It gives one hope the recounting of it will follow suit eventually.
Good luck finding something more suited to your taste elsewhere.
Source, Links to an article on this? If you got it share...Preferably a legitimate one, I don't wanna have to decode someones giant red text conspiratorial diatribe.
PvPers should work to obtain their own set of gear and you would trivialize their effort if you allowed players who have worked to obtain PvE gear to fight against them competitively.
Put in the effort they did and then you can talk about it being a bad system. You cannot just waltz in without the gear and expect to do well. You would take away any sense of achievement the players in Cyrodiil have if you make it easy for others to come in and this is probably one of the reasons the PvP in the game is popular.
First, the best PVP players are almost always grouped with other team members who's buffs well compliment each other adding significant power when they all work together, can make some nigh unkillable.
Second, one's build in a particular set of armor combined at their skill in weaving (light and heavy) can easily double their damage output vs those who haven't mastered the system.
Zenimax often changes up the meta, requiring those who excel to regularly obtain new gear, builds and require great practice to master.
It's a complicated system which I never came close to mastering, much less really understanding as most of what I just wrote is based on observation, watching videos on the subject and talking to folks who understood better than I how it all worked.
It certainly is a huge contrast to some Korean MMOs where all one has to do is +15 whatever top tier gear they are wearing and dominant those who aren't buffed to to same degree, though even in those game being grouped and buffed by team mates usually plays a factor, along with of course actual player PVP skill.
You can dislike ESO's design, I'm not particularly fond of it myself, but that doesn't make it horrible.

I'm not really understanding what your point is, can you present any actual examples that ESO's PVP isn't built on core stats?

maxing out sdtats , is ineffective now. So earlier armor sets like Necropotance which is a magic set is useless. What is even stranger, it really only seems to target magicika as a whole forcing sorc to go stamina to get the same dps they would've had with just straight magika.. THen adding a 1 specific 2 peice set that "you must have" to compete is very shallow design imho.
