Why do you have AoE caps in place at all?
because they become ridiculous overpowered, and having them spammed over and over leads to very boring and unremarkable and unskillful game play. look at every single Lets Play done by Force on youtube and multiple that by an army in PVP. Love his videos but that AOE gameplay was cringeworthy.THAT.
If this was some big bait and switch conspiracy then people would have been asking in droves before the launch. They were not. Stop grasping at straws to support your pathetic wants and desires.

How is this 'asking in droves' and where exactly is explicitly stated that there will be no AoE cap?prana33b14_ESO wrote: »If this was some big bait and switch conspiracy then people would have been asking in droves before the launch.

Maybe explain how AoE caps benefit the game?
Maybe explain why an AoE cap is a better or more viable solution to the problems with AoEs in AvA than the dozens of other (albeit, slightly harder to program) solutions presented?
Maybe you should read the thread first, since nowhere in that thread there is any statement about there being an AoE cap in place.valkaneer2b14_ESO wrote: »WTF dude stop your trolling, read the damn post, even the guy that agreed with you that you quoted.. even that you got wrong.

In this sense AOE cap or no, a "small" group can take out a "large" group. Also, he specifically mentioned that, no, a small group will not be able to take out a zerg.We've been working diligently to find those sweet spot ratios and abilities to make it so small groups (4 players or so) can have the opportunity to take out larger groups (8-12 or more depending on the group make up) but it is a tough balance point to strike.
2. As self-selecting poll is NEVER statistically accurate. This poll was not a random sampling. There were no optional surveys sent out to 1000 players by Zenimax asking for their opinion. A link to the poll was put up from places that were more likely to support it with links in all caps such asThat's not to say that 4 players can destroy a group of 24, but lower that number and add coordination vs. disorganization, and the chances of that do go up.
That does not a statistically significant poll make.AoE cap? cast your vote asap! on PTS servers they are testing a AOE cap of 6, please vote NO!!!! to AOE cap!

His point was not the title of your post, which was very clear and honest. His point was where and how there was linked to your post, in placed such as Reddit, with post titles like he mentioned. This completely skewed the results of your poll to the point where it's nearly meaningless. You are not directly to blame for this.Except for the fact where my thread was titled objectively as "Do you want an AoE cap?" and the answers were simply yes or no.

Over 3000. Real-life election polls where i live usually go with 1000-1200 to get a 95% accuracy(in a country with about 5 million voters).
So while it's a minority compared to the total game population, the results are certainly statistically significant.
math is tough

Well, I hate to break it to you two, but the poll, like most Internet polls, is completely useless because responders self-select.
