Crossfaction Boosters

Earthewen

How long will Emp Boosters be allowed with all the crossfaction play going on? ZOS, we all know what it is. We all see it. How long will it be allowed? Please, let me know so I can plan when my friends can push for emperor legit.

Which campaign and platform ?

Earthewen

PC NA - Hade

Haderus, since less populated, always seems to have funny *** going on. Emp trades tend to happen more there unfortunately

Potenza

Haderus = Corrupt
That's why I left it long time ago.

Earthewen

so what can be done about this? Has ZOS ever done anything about it?

Sigtric

I almost think that behavior would probably slow down to almost non existence if more people played there.

NightbladeMechanics

If more people played there, emp trades and night caps wouldn't happen.

Example given, Trueflame.

Had is only "corrupt" because fewer people play there, letting shady groups get away with that behavior. Leaving because it's like that is completely irrational and silly. We need to be advocating for people from Trueflame to play in Had instead of grumbling at the big queues. We have multiple campaigns for a reason...

No, complete incompetence is how we got 10k ping. The combat system is too complex for the servers.

Crossfaction should never have become a thing. Humans are so pathetic these days. Pick a side...fight for it. "I have an AD/DC toon.." - Said no adult, ever. #PoorPeopleThings

Yeah you are right. You should go for emp in Trueflame as that is much easier.

Run 12-16 hour pvp days for 2 weeks to get into the lead, then spend then next 16 days completely unopposed on the leaderboards while leading groups in defense of constantly assaulted keeps, or to draw forces away from the main zergs, or running with 24 man guild raids to keep the enemy factions in check... and then not get emperor as a reward for putting in as much time as two full time jobs.

Or if you are EP, you can simply take your 40 man group at 5:00 AM that turtled the last emp keep I needed for the previous 3 hours while AD constantly smashed every other emp keep we controlled, and then just walk right over the emp ring completely unopposed by both AD and DC and effortlessly crown emp. I'm totally not bitter about how that night went down.

There's the kicker. You can do everything right, and you can even be reasonably well liked by your faction, have ties to pretty much every guild in your faction, and have all the time in the world to capture emp... and still not get it.

So don't judge people trading emp in haderus because the alternative is a month of mood swings, hating your faction but needing their help, and general crushing disappointment with NOTHING to show for it excpet 3 gold leki necklaces, prosperous gold fury boots, and reinforced transmutation pants.

I have an AD/DC/EP toon alongside a wife, 8 year old son and job. Does that make me no longer an adult please?

Sorry, but judgment cant be avoided. Especially where someone is defending exploiting or outright cheating (as with boosters) in order to gain something by its very nature that requires such a commitment to achieve with legit gameplay. It ceases to serve a function if players just exploit the design or violate the TOS to gain achievements.

At the end of the day they really never had anything but horribly misplaced morals and haven't gained anything but a full departure from any integrity they might have had. I would guess this kind of behavior translates to the personality of those who embrace the practice and most certainly is reflected in the real life interactions they have with others. You cant really hide having incredibly low standards for yourself, even in a game.
