IWD PvP Quests

They seriously need to do something with these quests. Every day, someone is in zone crying about how they caught a beating at the hand(s) of some thug(s) after they crossed the clearly marked boundary, ignoring the proximity alarm and on-screen warning that they are now entering a pvp zone. This is all after they should have also read the warning right in the quest text that they may encounter enemy players, and thus, might get a foot stuffed up their a ... well, you know what I'm sayin. Why did they put these quests in in the first place? If they thought it would encourage the non-PvP types to engage in PvP, their plan is failing horribly. All it is doing is flooding zone chat with tears and butthurt. No good for any game.
Change this quest so it has a PvP type reward (glory, a PvP potion or two, whatever). Take the 16 silver out of the equation so all these non-PvPing Preparation H users wont have reason to go in the red zone, ever. Give em a quest outside the red zone with the same rewards so they have no reason to add that to their list of woes, thus crying more.
Just my two cents. have a nice day

I have interacted with many of the pvp-quest-criers, asking them why they want to do quests in a pvp area, that are really only good for advancing in a pvp campaign, which gives boons that are essentially only good in pvp.

You think they're doing it for the coin? You can get more than twice that for selling a single coalesced potion. I really don't think that's why.

I got one answer that said the increase to black ice mined while flagged for pvp is still a pve benefit (not from one of the criers, just an answer to my question "why would you?")... but this would require the person to continue to go get flagged for pvp constantly to benefit from it.

Coherent answers from the criers themselves basically amount to "it's part of the game and therefore I want (need) to do it". To which I can only say that if that's the case, you need to accept the terms of your own obsessing over doing all the quests.

In short, the only solution that would fix the situation of dealing with the kind of people getting themselves into this situation is to not have quests at all.

(Other answer: Pirate fashion set. Only obtainable by ticking off many boxes in pvp campaign. Some people really will suffer through anything in order to be fabulous. Except I'm pretty sure they'll do it in silence, because they know why they're doing it.)
