    Double the AP for 1 week and we have 100 new GO, LOL. I wish it was that easy. Lets say we would have 100 new this week that would mean without this double ap we would have had em next week anyway.

    I don't want to hear any PvE players QQ'ing about having to "grind PvP" to unlock Vigor/Warhorn/Caltrops/Barrier ever again. The easy AP snatch-n-grab is on full tilt right now.

    Don't be ridiculous, I decided to try PvP this week due to the double AP thing, made it to Sergeant - whoopie do! Turns out I quite enjoy PvP and am not as bad at it as I thought I might be, sorry to disappoint you and let you know I may decide to join the elitist body of regular PvPers, it must truly be horrible to have an additonal person recruited to your side.

    I was on my way to be Emperor and noticed a player who was on top 10 behind me and suddenly on top 1 and no matter what I did I couldn't catch up with him, always 100k+ ap difference. Caught the trash trading ap like that. Thanks to the fact I outslept him and some luck, I got ahead and crowned few hours later. I do feel bad the others lining up had to put with such unfair "competition", now I go sleep and the ap difference between top 1 and top 2 is almost a million ap, I've tracked the progress of both players since I'm always there, top 2 play legit top 1 only trade ap on Sejanus. Very disgusting, I abandoned the leaderboards to make way to new emperors but that guy just sit there on top 1 exploiting and dishing out terrible comments / insults to whoever calls him on the bull. Class A trash.

    People abusing flips would have done it with or without double AP :p

    Frankly this event encouraged me to hop on and test the waters thing characters other than my main, and it only takes a couple hours of uncoordinated play to get vigor and really dig in (for the stamina ones)

    As a pve player I'd happily pay ZOS to get an instance for me to grind up to vigor. The double pvp is no use to me, I hope the story below will help explain why some people are so resistant to doing pvp.

    I have profound social anxiety and it's violent reaction to pvp environments came close to killing me in a different game, basically my heart rate and stress go so high that when I turned up at hospital saying I felt weird a few hours later the doctor frog marched me to a chair, ordered me me to open my shirt and as a nurse came running in with a needle he took it and jammed it in me, turns out my rate was still well over two hundred and the rhythm suggested it was close to failure.

    Pve however does the exact opposite, even in four player dungeons, the competitive element there is slight or none existent, it's not enough to trigger the reaction. Also because I stick to normal ones and I can solo a lot of those. Give me a decent healer and I can do the vet ones now, the third and fourth players are needed to Rez the healer when I go full pillock mode and forget they are there :D

    Why not just put vigor at level two, that way me and my fellow happy souls can do the safe training stuff, get the only thing we need and leave. Surely that way everyone gets what they want?

    These players are ruining PVP. Collusion between certain players to get Alliance Points is shameful and unjust towards those who for almost three years playing in Cyrodiil whole days to get the same results that these unfair people are getting in a few weeks.
    I hope that the ZOS restore a balance by removing the Alliance Points obtained through a way of foul play

    They won't, they don't care.

    They're adjusting the values in tomorrows patch which might stop this happening (if they follow through on what they said) but don't expect any kind of effort from them to fix what's happened.

    Who'd have thought team purple actually existed, huh? Seen it so many times. We took over a red keep, blues were waiting in the wing, then suddenly all charged in, got the flip and a pile of reds just piled in amongst the blue. Neither side doing anything other than what you see in the above video. They were letting AD attack keeps that day.

    90% of the pvp community were doing this, myself included.

    Team Purple? ffs.... people who think this way are just so wrong.

    • Every alliance zergs
    • Every alliance farms AP
    • Every alliance teams up sometimes
    • Every alliance works the same way

    Team "Orange", "Green", and "Purple" all exist when one alliance controls the whole map, has Emp, is zerging with 2x the cooperating alliances numbers, or anything else that warrants it. The current Outpost trading scenario is no different.

    I have come a point I don't care having Grand Overlord title just means there will be more people getting the Grand Overlord kill achievement, titles mean nothing they do nothing to make your character better, the only good thing about rank is a skill point, and that nice black color at legate, some one having billion AP and 30 starts by their name has no effect on my game play I do not understand why so many people worry about nothing.

    And yes Purple can be strong on some days and so can green, three faction warfare there will always be a little color combo somewhere.
