[BUG] [EU-TB] Once again ridiculous low population bonus for AD.

Lava_Croft

It's around 0900h, all three factions are at a very low population, yet somehow AD manages to once again recieve a low population bonus of (this time around) 541 points.

I'm sure that everything works as intended, so maybe now it's time to review the intentions surrounding the low population bonus.

Yeah, it's Crap. We are losing to an inactive Faction on Azuras Star. It's horrible that the easiest way to win a campaign is to not participate. Underdog bonus is Crap. They should have awarded better at gains or something... Not the ability to autowin...

I have a thread here with a lot of submitted evidence and currently the only official reply from ZOS on the matter.

I fully encourage everyone to take screenshots before and after each low population bonus along with the current listed populations at that time. Post these in the thread linked above and continue to give ZOS evidence that their "working as intended" mechanic might not be "working for the better of the game".

5AM, Map almost yellow : emperorship, 11 keeps; 3 outposts. Most pop in this night and +848 points at the moment... The scoring feature is more than broken and is killing all motivation to play and to try to make our faction to win...

This is really freaking...

I suppose the best I can do now to help my faction is to stop to play and to unsub... Why should I continue to pay, just to pick flowers and do some crafting quests...

Please don't ask for my stuffs, I will just burn them all.

OK. Seems the low bonus can be even more ridiculous than I thought!

This Bloodthorn campaign is just screwed.

I'm not losing my cool, ZOS is losing a customer and I will gain increased monetary funds.

You have your purple alliance, we'll have our ZoS alliance

Purple? Must help AD to be fair.

From what I understand it is calculated on the pop count for a set time of hours, say 12h or even 20h (I am unsure of the numbers, afaik ZOS hasn't provided those).

e.g. if during that period AD has the lowest average of players online in cyrodiil, the bonus pops in at some point, no matter if at exactly that point AD may have the most online at exactly that point.

Either way, it's ridiculous, we have a good chance of winning by actually not playing, never seen anything like that before O_o

so you can win by not playing...... wow.
