You know how I know that most of the posts ragging one faction are [expletive pre-emptively deleted]? Every accusation leveled in this thread against my faction is something I've thought myself or heard or read others saying in zone chat about the other two factions.

The dirty little secret is that the winning faction is always the one who has the most dedicated day/night capping population. We do it, you do it. It's a fact. Get used to it.

This is basically an ep buff camp. Ep has been the largest pop for over a month now. I agree with you that ep has the biggest pvdoor zerg though. Kinda pointless playing when I get zerged down absolutely everywhere. EP pugs need the zerg to survive instead of being farmed again.

Heck even ep is zerging cp IC now.

They are probably just poking around, trying to figure out where everyone went. BTW, keep zerging guys, I for one am loving these 4-5K ticks off resources now, and the keep ticks... just wow is all I can say!

Or, you could form/join a group - or recruit more people to join yours. Show the zergs that it's better your way. Influence by example.

Most of the time there is barely enough people to form a group. Puggles want to be on the most dominant faction to zerg and not get farmed. It's a shame that some of the few remaining good players don't want to actually pvp and not just stick to the zerg.

There's also a number of conspiracy theories regarding groups of players attempting to manipulate the low pop bonus by mass logging out then back in, which are claimed to be the cause of the phenomenon seen below.

Not a conspiracy. On the non cp campaign on EU i've had multiple AD PVE players tell me that they were told by players/guilds from their faction, both directly and in general chat, to log off or leave Cyro during EP and DC prime time to get the low pop bonus and threatened that if they would not comply they would be hunted down in other faction alts. Don't know if it actually happened but this proves this mindset and mechanic abuse is a thing.

The low pop bonus is calculated on the previous at least two hours, it does result in times when factions get ridiculous high scores for one evaluation but the reason is that they had a lower population hours earlier.

Logging off does not have any effect on the next evaluation despite the rumours that seem to be rife on all sides.

Ball group zerg heavy raids are I Nord tradition throughout history. The RP is strong with EP. AD and DC need heroes.
