    That would be a lot more compelling if there were anything worth spending gold on in this game.

    Yeah I honestly don't like it when AD zergs that hard and gets control of most of the map. For getting emperor I can understand but its just not fun to me when there's no action since everyone on the other factions quit. I usually go grind or something or get off the game when the population looks like that.

    Most didn't go to AD, they simply stopped playing in BWB. There are a handful that jumped to the already overwhelming faction, but the majority left for AS or left Cyro completely.

    This was 2 weeks ago. Every night for more than 2 weeks AD had run the map with a significantly higher population, pushing DC to the gates. Taking the tri keeps with 30+ players when DC has one bar pop to defend, even when the scrolls are already gone. When Emily posted this, and we said it was killing the DC pop, and bad for the health of the game, a bunch of AD players posted that DC deserved it. So of course people didn't stick around.

    I will say that I'm happy to see 2 bars of red in that pic. It's usually 3-1-1 in AD's favor. Every night. Most players aren't going to stick around and keep playing when that becomes the norm.

    And before anybody accuses me of not remembering that DC has done the same in the past. I do remember, and have been very vocallly against it. The ESO community needs to moderate our own pop of we want to keep the game at all balanced. Instead of doing that, it feels like AD doubled down on pop control.

    It's not about dc wanting to dominate, dominating a campaign isn't fun. PvDoor isn't fun, and taking 30+ people to run down 5 defenders isn't fun.

    There was a time that DC guilds were off-hours capping the map and scrolls and killing the competitive spirit of bwb, and they got called out for it daily. Because the majority of dc didn't like it, and the wins felt a little dirty. The last several cycles have had nearly balanced pops, huge 3-way battles for emp keeps, and routine exchanging of scrolls. EP was underrepresented, and many dc were vocal about wishing their pop was higher, to make the map more dynamic.

    This cycle, AD seems to feel the exact opposite - wanting to actively discourage competetive pvp. Last night, 3 bars AD to 1 each blue and red. AD had flagged Glade, was taking Rayles resources, and sieging Arrius. Attempting to take the home tri-keeps, despite already having emp, all scrolls, and a huge lead in the score. Everywhere you saw AD, you saw 20 of them.
    Most players won't stick around to be beaten down like that.

    When DC does it, I'm embarassed by it. AD should feel the same.

    LOL you left out the screenshots of it being 2 bars across the board. Because that's how it was when I got on at around 7pm my time. At that time DC was hitting roe and ep had taken alessia and was about to take fare...witch they did and it took us a good while to get it back. DC and EP pushed for a dethrone and when they failed...as usual DC took there toys and went home. But I guess if you had posted a sc of that it wouldn't have been as dramatic.

    Two weeks ago, I kept my word. Go back and look. I told you that (at least for my guilds part in it) we would not push you back to your gates until you did it to us.

    I literally logged off yesterday when AD had pop and the whole emp ring. I directed my guild to NOT push Tri-keeps so that if EP or DC logged on, they would stay and fight. When I cam back after dinner, it was 2 bars across the board. Fare was being hit. We wiped the DC there and the dethrone failed. Then DC logged off and we had some great fights with EP. THAT is exactly what happened last night. So if you want to cry about a pop imbalance last night, blame yourselves for logging off. Not our fault. So tired of all this spinning stories to make ad the bad guys. Maybe you need to find a way to make your faction more fun even when you aren't winning. That's what AD has done. That's why people like to play on our side. Im guessing DC zone chat is toxic with accusations and blame galore.

    You are misunderstanding what I am saying here. Ill say it another way that is more clear. DC logs off if they are losing. That is the problem with DC pop. I didn't mean that DC usually loses, I mean DC usually logs off if not on top.
