Players were encouraged to pick a faction side and head out into the world. I guess back when ESO was first announced and I noticed this was how it was going to be but apparently it didn't stay like that (Not sure) I just started playing the game a month ago.
For a game that has been out for 5 years, it's kind of ridiculous to act like the time "players were encouraged to pick a faction side" was significant. That was 1 year of the game. For 4 years, players have been encouraged to do just the opposite. 4 years. That's 4 years of brand new players who have been encouraged to create characters they are now forced to play on a dead campaign. Why a dead campaign? Because the PVP population isn't large enough for more than 1 campaign. People don't want to play on the 7 day campaign because there aren't enough players to populate it and the 30 day. And unlike faction lockers, actual pvp players don't want to PVdoor an empty map.
This is complete boulderdash, there is more than enough PvP population to populate the 7 day as well as the 30 day campaigns. It is time to stop this stubborn dog piling into one campaign, the servers can't handle it.

I can go to cyrodil alone and that's not the idea, I rather go to cyrodil with friends. You tell me, do you zerg the map with people you know? I bet you that's what you do, so you can't tell me you play solo and enjoy it.

Aren't large guild what actually affect the score of a campaign anyways ? I'm pretty sure all the big guilds all play on a certain alliance of their choice. The only people really affected by this are the people who usually only small group and don't even care about the alliance score in the first place. The people that play more than one alliance are really just there for some fun fights at a tower or something.
give me some good reasons why you think faction locks are a good thing. and don't say it stops players from swapping to another faction to take over the map because you need to move a whole raid to another alliance for them to actually be significant.
A.) Troll scrolls
B.) Emperor flipping with friends back and forth.
C.) Farm AP by flipping map swapping to other faction flip map repeat over and over again.
D.) To grief
I have so many friends that I can no longer play with and have fun anymore because of this. To wait a FULL month is disturbing and only hurts my ability to enjoy ESO.

This is why we have more than one campaign, and several campaigns are lock-free. So, if you want to play with your friends, just go in one of the free campaigns. Problem solved.

They might not look like Steve, smell like Joey, or be as skillful as HulkMaster01905, but you will feel the thrill of fighting for the honor of your faction alongside those brothers and sisters.
Or you could PvP in BGs, IC, or a 7 day campaign with your current group of friends.

It's a game, no one in a video game faction is my brother or sister.

How often does this actually happen versus the millions of people who just want to play PvP in a populated campaign with their friends, but actively can't because of Faction lock forcing more than half of their characters into other campaigns.
No I'm not hopping on my AD toon to send secrets over to my EP buddy. I made some of these characters in 2014 and you're telling me I can't use them now?

You could never team up in PVP being in different factions to begin with even before lock so it's still the same thing and if your friends are different faction dont log into the character that's opposite faction of them and you wont have problems PVPing with friends.

It happens alot especially when running for emp, the casual PVPer doesnt experience these things but for the competitive players it's annoying when you spend a day straight grinding AP to have the guy behind you jump up 100k AP in an hour because his friends are letting him farm them or taking a castle and letting him just rebuild.
It happens more than you think, you're just not competitive enough to see it.

This will be best thing for a long time to hit pvp in eso. There is so much alliance swapping crap ongoing, boosting, zonehat crrap etc etc etc in eso.
Lets look at from positive view though a) you do not have swap the characters like socks with your friends nomore in 30 day campaign b) maybe it was time to make new "friends" c) summer is avoid to start and now you can leave for rl outdoors activities more since your "friends" are uninstalling eso d) You made ie. login back to the forums again and try to stop your crying eyes with this post.
All in all if still feel strongly trolling with your "friends" than i give a free advice as bonus. Select 7 day campaign -> make it main -> invite all your friends to it and you all will live happily ever after.
However since most of these people crying about it are the ones that swap colours every 15min and try max abuse the system i recommend the outdoor option. summer = sun <- you might actually enjoy it.
have a nice weekend...

Are you assuming that people with disabilities that are unable to simply "go outside" do not play PC games? Are you suggesting that such people should simply uninstall TESO rather than voice their concerns and/or dissatisfaction? Are you attacking anyone who does not share your opinion by calling their words "crying".
Please help me to get a feel for whether this is genuine or just a bad attempt at levity. Thanks.
