Need to fix the exploiting of oil pots in RvR
Too often losing teams run into a outlying building or have set up around a flag which is easier to range) dozen oil pots on the floor. These are meant to be from above on walls pouring down.
Fix them how you want devs, but its not right to have to deal with a half dozen oil pots on the floor that deal 1.5 to 2k damage each pour mass killing people. People exploiting this poor design do it just because they want an I win button.
Suggest -
when oil pours it affect all friend or foe. if you pour it on ground level your dumb
only allow building on keep walls.
area check for target spot (below), not just the position of the pot.

✭Oil pots should be highly flammable and explode when hit with fire.
Oil pots should only be useable on top of walls or stairs.
They did make a change to where they don't work through walls but I haven't seen if it actually works because they still haven't fixed the fps issues.Edited by Arsenic_Touch on July 7, 2014 9:12PM☠ Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured? ☠

You can't siege oil that is inside a tower, such as in the resource camps. I think it's ridiculous that one of the main RvR strategies is to pour hot burning oil on your own damn feet. Oil should ONLY be allowed to be set up on top of a structure.

NerfEverything✭✭✭✭✭This is my biggest (fixable) issue with PvP right now. Sure there are other worse problems, but they don't have an obvious fix.
OP has offered three relatively simple and elegant solutions that would immensely improve the PvP experience. I hope someone takes notice.0 -

✭✭✭IF you want to change oil pots so they can't be poured at your feet, just give it a minimum distance of 1 meter. Voila. Must be poured off a ledge or wall.

Oil isn't a win all button. You have other skills to use to counter it. If you and your party members are dying to the oil bath, I suggest you guys work on your tactics and skill bar set up. Obv they are getting AP while doing this so as long as people keep jumping face first into the oil, they will keep doing it. Stay away and bait them out or ignore them completely. If you MUST go in, use PURGE. It works wonders for a competent group.0 -
briandivisionb16_ESO✭✭✭✭Utter nonsense. This oil patch is a prime example of catering to people who don't know how to PvP. Oils were fantastic, and involved strategy.
Just what exactly is forcing you to go inside a tower laden with oils? Why run at a building, other than a keep where siege is limited, loaded with them?If your group is bigger than 6 members gain 75% damage reduction.
Write this on the back of your box and see how many sales you get!
You won't get any new PvP players until this archaic AoE crap is fixed.
I for one won't resub until:
1.) You fix lag.
2.) You remove AOE caps we voted against.
3.) 12 months have passed (this is how long we've waited for you to 'get with it')[/b]2
