"Zenimax, I would like to have some fun with my alts in Cyrodiil, but there is only one campaign that is active and since I play alts on different factions I can't join that campaign. Why is that?"
Zenimax:
"Well son, we have to prevent spying, that is the reason, there is no other, honestly just believe us. That is why you can't enter the campaign with an alt of a different faction. It would make spying just too easy.
In fact to make sure you can't spy we made it so that guilds are cross faction so you can use guild chat to talk to the enemy, also we made it possible for you to whisper them all the tactics and movements of your team. See? We work hard preventing you from spying!"
Player:
"That doesn't make any sense, but even if it did; what if I don't want to spy and just want an active campaign to have fun on with my alts?"
Zenimax:
"Sorry mate, you are out of luck. In fact just to make sure it is even harder to have fun on alts in pvp we make it impossible to get into a campaign that another alt is a guest in. Oh and don't you worry about the overpowered veterans vs your pre-veteran alts, we will just make them even stronger so your alts die even quicker! Doesn't that sound like fun?"
*player walks away shaking his head in utter confusion*
Seriously Zenimax, what is the deal here? Can you really explain your way of thinking? I am trying to wrap my head around it, but I just can't. I want to, but I am incapable of thinking completely void of logic.

fyendiarb16_ESO✭✭✭Well to be honest they do design games and when you combine logic and games... it might rub off a bit.

pinkempyreal✭✭✭Maybe you have no ill intentions to ruin the game for everyone by "spying" but there are thousands of others who will.0 -

✭✭✭✭It is funny you try to make up a funny conversation trying to make your point. And all i can think is that you must have missed launch where it was broken and you could be in the same campaign and different factions and the crying that was happening on the forums because of it.0 -

You do realize you can talk to guild mates from different factions that are in the same campaign and that you can whisper the enemy while in the campaign as well right? Not to mention voice chat. Spying is far easier without alts already. That's is the lack of logic I am pointing out here.
Locking alts from campaigns does not prevent spying at all. At least not in the way this game is set up.0 -

I did not miss that, what they missed back then is that spying without alts is easier because of how the game is made.0
