if 20k AP is normal for 74% of the population than that means 26% of the population is actually doing all the work. What we need to be asking here is what in the hell is that 74% of the population actually doing?
60% playing on the bridge
10% questing
4% AFK spying
Lets look at those 74% more closely and find out.

No outposts, keeps, districts, towns or resources since the Black Boot mine change are actually giving players 200k AP per hour. The highest AP earning rate per hour is 120,000-140,000 AP by 2 people, that was done for 1 afternoon, and hasn't been done again since the 9th.
The next highest AP earned per hour is 60-90k which was done by 9 players doing a mixture of keep captures, keep defenses, repairs, killing blows, and assists yielding higher than normal gains. We're digging into more details of those gains and dates.
26% of the PC population is earning between 20-60k per hour which doesn't raise any red flags, since we saw those amounts of gains prior to the Homestead patch. That being said, we are also looking at those numbers to see if they warrant changes to AP gains from all sources in Campaigns.
74% of the PC population is earning between 0-20k AP per hour, which is what qualifies as "normal play" AP gains.
As noted in the initial PTS post about the AP change, we are closely monitoring player behavior both in game and with metrics like those you see here which will determine where we go with AP gains in the future.
Good morning everyone and welcome today's breakfast news update for EU Roleplay events. All information below was written within the hours of AP gains recorded.
Currently active within Bleakers playing capture the flag we have 7 EP (self included) and 5 DC who are playing capture the flag, with another 12 EP hiding outside. Sadly I can't see the DC numbers who are hidden out there.
Bleakers is currently changing hands about every minute, here are some live times.

My insider sources tell me that some have been roleplaying since 00:00 this morning.
The roleplay community has also expanded to now incorporate a AD division who have started roleplaying at Sejanus with EP members.
Please see these screenshots to show events as per my report above, all information which could be sensitive has been removed as per forums rules.
Lastly as some people including myself have speculated that there isn't any roleplay going on, here are some images which clearly show roleplay.

This is not good pvp and until zos thinks about making cyrodil great again i will be farming an outpost and meanwhile there i will keep dueling ppl and get good ap. best pvp so far was when there was dynamic ult gen and u could kill alot of noobs because u better and not get zerged by 20 300 cp ppl who play pvp for 1 week.

So you're attacking me because you don't like the game design of the game you're playing, okay fair enough.

Actually I do like it. I think there should be better rewards for capture to try and encourage objective based gameplay. However right now there is clearly an issue with it not working as intended which ZOS seemed to be unaware of, I wanted to highlight to them just how bad the situation is.
You are aware I have been farming AP with others since the weekend right? Unlike others though I am not trying to defend it as something it's not. I am there farming AP in a way the developers didn't intend it to be done, but I am highlighting the issues at the same time.
Lastly I was on my mobile previously so I didn't see the screenshot with your initial attack on me, wondering what that picture has to do with me?

I am very thankful for your transparency but to be honest this makes me wonder a bit how reliable your data is if you going to examine people getting 60-90k AP/h when this is about the gains every organised guild should reach.ZOS_BrianWheeler wrote: »We're digging into more details of those gains and dates.
