Slaughterfish in AvA - Should they be removed from rivers

I completely understand putting Slaughterfish in the water on the edges of the map, but I find it bad game design to put them in rivers. Especially when they attack some people and not others. You run into situations where someone you're chasing crosses the river and when you follow you get swarmed by Slaughterfish and they get free AP... This is a very poor design in my opinion.

    I signed in just to vote on this. Would be so cool if you could cross rivers and swim in AvA

    if you chase someone that went in the water first, you had to kill him when he was still in the water or he will kill you when you follow, simple.

    Slaughtfish in rivers serve a purpose of forcing people over the bridges which I actually like.

    Of all the things wrong in the game, slaughterfish is what you feel you need to complain about?

    Not only that. The SF are useful to kill yourself if you get bugged - or just want to get back to the keep in a hurry.

    each alliance is separated by design, from the other alliances, by an impenetrable barrier that has 3 choke points to promote PvP encounters, set up ambushes for folks running scrolls, gank spots etc

    EP/DC are mountains/walls with 3 gates

    DC/AD are mountains/walls with 3 gates

    AD/EP is a slaughterfish river with 3 bridges that have seen some of the most epic PvP in the game

    the slaughterfish STAY

    NO!!!!!

    Seriously!?!?!?!


    They aren't in all rivers, just the one's you aren't supposed to be able to cross. Its to force you into using the bridges so they can be PvP choke points.

    It's a poll, and as I said my opinion. It's not a complaint, I was asking others opinions to see what people thought. Obviously people do not agree with me and that's fine.

    Although it's funny to see how people respond on forums with such little integrity.

    Slaughter fish are basically there to force you to use the bridges, They work in teh same sense as the cliff walls that only allow you to use the gates. This is fo rth purpose of choke points between the 3 alliances territories

    The primary purpose of slaughterfish in every Elder Scrolls game is to surprise, annoy, and possibly kill the player.
