People are probably going to throw rotten fruit for me saying this, but I don't care.
Normally I find videos of guild Vs. guild/faction fights boring (mostly because without running in a group it's hard to appreciate what and why things are being done). And I don't run with Drac; indeed I have spent the entire time in their existence as one of their primary opponents. But this was one of the most impressive ESO gameplay videos I have seen in long long time.
What I found most impressive is that even though there were multiple times they lost crown, the group seamlessly transitioned to an alternative lead and every player acted decisively and correctly. Just about every other group or guild in the game would have been stricken with paralysis (for all the snide remarks that ball groups are too dependent on crown, there is nevertheless truth to that). Everyone of those players is highly skilled that is why they do so darn well.
Each and every one of the tools they use, whether it's destro ultimate, earthgore, negate, whatever, is available for everyone else to also use and these 14 people not only stayed alive, but also repeatedly wiped a veritable pile of DC and AD players, many of who I know are good. If it's so easy just to to ball up and skilllessly spam AoE, show me your group's video.
Having respect for these players and appreciating the excellence in this video should not be interpreted that I somehow like ESO's destro-negate bomb driven meta or that I think ZoS should continue to put their heads in the sand and ignore PvP. Those of us who want to like this game and are competitive got to do what we got to do and, occasionally, it's still possible to have glimpses and episodes of fun and what ESO could be if ZoS ever decided to devote resources and energy into fulfilling the enormous PvP potential it has.
4 stars!

It's a mix of it being a mageblade PoV and not having comms. As a bomber PoV, you're casting two or three abilities, perpetually out of resources from running no sustain and block casting down to zero stamina, and popping destro ult and running forward when you're told. And then without comms...that's all there is for me to watch. Sorry, but imo the entertainment value just isn't there like in past vids.
Edit: I enjoy Drac vids for the comms basically. They're so rapid and charged, creating for me the fun sense of urgency that you guys are experiencing in crazy fights. I also feel immersed in the chess match of maneuvers that groups play against each other, which is fun.
