...unless you count the two tasks for completing Tales of Tribute matches, which can only be done in the Player vs Player matchmaking queue. I know we just had two Golden Pursuits dedicated to PvP (one for Whitestrake's Mayhem and the next for the Cyrodiil Champions test) but is there really nothing PvP-exclusive for players to do this Golden Pursuit? Why should we bother with Cyrodiil, Imperial City, and Battlegrounds if none of the tasks require us to go there?
This is supposed to be a celebration of ESO's anniversary, which should include all areas of the game — not just questing, Tales of Tribute, Dungeons, Trials, Arenas, overland content, the Infinite Archive, and crafting. PvP is a significant part of this game, too.
When thinking about Golden Pursuits, we do try to pair them with activities happening or have general themes. This time, with Anniversary Jubilee happening, it was a good time to focus on PvE events. Not to mention we just had two PvP pursuits in a row.
While the next few Golden Pursuits are mostly locked in at this point, we can pass feedback along about having some PvP and PvE tasks in one Golden Pursuit can be considered in the future.

ZOS_Kevin;c-8291088The balance is one of the harder parts of a Golden Pursuit. We don't want this to feel like a burden to complete, so your feedback is noted. Just for a look behind the curtain, we are still learning and adjusting how we develop Golden Pursuits based on your feedback. The system has only been around for 6 months, so there is plenty to try and still learn from. So we are taking feedback and working with teams to make sure these are fun and rewarding. Every Golden Pursuit won't appeal to every player, but we want to make sure the content is fun and complementary to gameplay. All that to say, keep up the feedback. It's helped in shaping Golden Pursuits into a more refined aspect of your experience in ESO.While the next few Golden Pursuits are mostly locked in at this point, we can pass feedback along about having some PvP and PvE tasks in one Golden Pursuit can be considered in the future.As long as there's enough total pursuits to ensure that non-PvP folks such as myself can still get all the rewards. Like 35 things to choose from but you only need 20 for the top prize. I think the first or second one was balanced like that and it worked well so I could have fun with the PvE ones without setting foot in Cyrodiil. :smile:
