I thinks its because you take so many guns to a knife fight, even if it just one guy stabbing himself to death.

By that same logic Altmer is the best race.

One would expect the most played faction to also have the most kills.

You forgot to mention the part where EP has the most players, aka zergiest faction.

EP may have the most players but they also tend to spread out more than some other factions.

I mean if you have a 5 pound bag... and you fill it with poo, you have 5 pounds of poo. If you add 5 more pounds of poo to that same bag, you may have more spread out poo, but it’s only because you have 10 pounds of poo where there should be 5 because the bag can’t hold it.

Lol, EP are 3% over average, and most of them rolled nords on launch as loved skyrim then realized how rubbish they are......

I would wager EP have the most kills even if the populations were even. I have 0 evidence. But if I had to make an educated guess on what that stat would look like, EP would still be my pick.

I actually agree with this, for PC NA anyway (other platforms/servers would be different). If you look at the history of the game, overall I think EP has had the most active organised guild groups, and have had the most grand overlords etc.

At launch I have a feeling it was AD though (bleakers OP). Up until the lighting patch I rekon AD had the most kills despite the efforts of nicole, fixate and crystalized, but from then on EP has been the most dedicated overall over the years.

yeah basically this was my thinking, and I agree, in the first year or so it would have been AD.

I like how players from ad and dc feels need of coming here and reminding everyone, that EP are using zergs, just like no other alliance on any platform/campaign.

Turelus

I thought we knew we were the better faction at launch, I mean the fact was there as well.

EP has the backing of the Dunmer, thus it's the best faction. Fact!

You forgot to factor the part where EP has the highest population in the game. I'd certainly hope they'd have the most kills.

Well you would think the other factions might have a few more considering we provide such a target rich environment.

Aye, the pact wins many battles, but continues to lose the war. FTC

Its really only effective if you are with an organized raid or a zerg and thus can chain down runners for others to kill. How many DKs really talk about "Hey, here are the tactics I use when I'm zerging"?

The Bridge/Chalman issue from players who ignore the map, along with a disproportionate number of bombers and experienced aoe ball groups leads to a higher kill count. Population barely matters tbh.

The data they provided was misleading....note it mentions 36% (as opposed to 33.33%) of chars created- you don't create for PvP or PvE specifically, so this number simply says that overall in the game players made 36% EP chars, not that they even play them in PvP- so to plug this into the PvP area is about as inaccurate as it gets. Now if they have a way of telling us real time how many are logging in and provide that number, we would know what the 'most populated faction in Cyro' is.....but until then how many chars created in the game really doesn't tell us much.

The stat Most PVP kills by alliance does tell us something about PVP. EP kills the most. Which, I realize isnt specific to any server or campaign, or necessarily correlated to campaign population.

I use Empowered Chain sometimes and the other morph only when I’m within a coordinated group

Having more kills doesn't mean you're better. You can sit on the bridge all day and rack up the kills while having done nothing to improve the map (taking keeps and resources).

While that's true that bridgefarming and milegate farming doesnt make you good, if you are implying that EP's kills come from bridge and milegate farming, what does that say about the unsuccessful farm victims?

Telel

Farming alts doesn't really take much skill. And if you pay attention to AD zone chat on Vivec you'll see exactly how common that is.

HINT: look for the guys who verbally attack group leaders, claim to be 'to good' to push objectives, and then dissappear once the griffs begins to zerg alessia.

I'm not implying that, I'm just saying that more kills doesn't necessarily make you better.
