Taking Empty Keeps In A Rotation Should Be A Exploit!

    @Merlin13KAGL it is called PvP for a reason get kills for ap take keeps and defend. Not take empty back keeps for hours in a rotation and not fight and for the people defending taking empty keeps are the ones that suck in getting kills facts.

    Which should make it painfully easy for you to go in, take the keep, and keep the keep.

    To quote Molag Kena "Kill them all!"

    This is a non-issue with a very simply 'fix.'

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    @mmolegends44 read properly please. I didnt say it was an exploit i meant simply if players werent continuously running to die at a bridge keeps might be defended. I said perhaps make that an exploit. It was a joke be less rude next time please.

    I get it just fine. No one's trying to fight (including you, apparently.)

    That's exactly why you can fix it ~ at least one of them has to be the enemy, right?

    It could simply be a group if pve players trying to earn enough ap to unlock their alliance war skill lines and are very pvp experienced. I say let them take the keeps. More ap for us when we take them back :)

    Perhaps, instead of an 'exploit' being tacked onto these players, maybe a "Coward" debuff should get tacked on to those who are refusing to do something about it?

    How, in the grand scheme of things, does this concern you? I'm not really getting an 'emp' vibe coming from you, or this would have been handled already.

    @mmolegends44 , please write out the rule would like to see added to the ToS, because I am having a hard time imagining how that would work.

    Something like "When you encounter an empty keep in Cyrodiil, ______________________."

    Unless you are implying that different factions are co-ordinating with each other to avoid fights and are actively dissuading others from doing so (like the EU Bleakers fiasco), then there are no rules being broken. People are just playing the map and choosing not to defend.

    Double ap is all about offense. If keeps defense ticks didn't take a ridiculous amount of time to occur this wouldn't be such an issue. Right now though, i can get 25k ap plus kills taking keeps in the same time as defending 1 for 8k and standing around waiting..

    @danno8 dude it's a exploit they want to ban people for farming ap ok ban people for taking empty keeps for hours without fighting taking empty keeps is farming ap too I am talking about NA ps4 idc what goes on eu server so yeah.

    Two solutions to this issue:

    1. Defend the keeps.
    2. Don't take them back.

    If I'm in PvP, particularly if I'm in a small group, I am always going to look for ways to expand my alliance's reach over the map. Having more transit options is always good. If the enemy leaves the keeps empty, that's their problem.

    @mmolegends44 and you completely miss the point. It is not about banning people for farming AP, otherwise those groups of 2-5 people who sit at resources farming people who trickle in over and over would all get banned on the daily.

    It is about purposely by-passing game intended mechanics in order to get AP without having to do anything (again I bring up the EU Bleakers fiasco during the last double AP event). That's is not what is happening here. People don't have to defend the keep if they don't feel like it, and as long as they are not griefing others for defending then they can choose to fight and not defend if they wish.
