Would you like to see Alliance Lock back in 30 days noCP campaign?

Due to the Alliance Lock being removed from 30 days noCP, now we have a bunch of trolls stealing scrolls and hammer and giving it to the enemy, sabotaging sieges and spying in general. Usually open to public Alliance's guilds & groups are dimishing or they are locked to people from outside. It makes campaign completly unfriendly and paranoic.

We have a 7 day campaign which is perfect for people who don't care about their alliance and want to play Cyrodiil.
That's why I'm suggesting reverting these terrible changes ASAP and bringing back Alliance Lock to this campaign.

    Didn't vote.

    But this campaign lock is becoming absurd.

    I wanna play AD then EP month to month so different alliance each month for different toons.

    Now what ESO does is lock each of those into the campaign and charges 150k ap per char to abandon and leave the main campaign open for the other alliance.

    150k ap per char to abandon.

    Then 150k ap per char to home set alliance with different alliance char.

    TLDR- these frauds are charging 100k then 150k per char to swap alliance.

    This has been happening since the day the campaigns got locked. The coding is abysmal in this area it's super flawed.

    No matter of alliance preferences, no-CP is closer to BG in terms of balance and should be available to all your toons. Since there is not enough population to have 2 no-CP campaigns, ZOS has no other choice...

    It's amazing that you think "trolls" would play correctly and not hand over scrolls or sabotage seiges, or spy if you just coerce them into playing a single faction.

    Ofcourse they wouldn't, it was a nice & friendly campaign untill recent changes. Now I see bunch of new faces and handing over scrolls & hammer on daily basis. Most of groups are locked and they won't invite you even if you follow them and assist them in sieges. Maybe for you it's great, but I give this campaign maximum 6 months before it dies just like any previous no alliance lock campaigns.

    So how did we have campaigns pre elsweyr if all alliance unlocked campaigns died?

    Since I don't roleplay in a PVP zone, I couldn't care less about alliance lock campains and notions about spies and saboteurs. I go to Cyrodiil to do some PVP on the char I want to play today.

    As long as there are also non-alliance locked-campaigns, I'm fine with every campaign type having an alliance locked version; main advantage for me is that it minimizes the zone chat rants of avid faction loyalists.

    So fine with me for alliance lock in "A no-CP campaign", but a clear no to locking "THE no-CP campaign." I like a fallback option when my chosen char's alliance in the CP campaign is a hopeless case.

    Loving all of the folks who don't even play on the campaign coming in, patting us on the head, and telling those of us who do why our campaign must be sacrificed for the greater good.

    It absolutely reeks of entitlement.

    My PvP guild abandoned the non-CP campaign for precisely the reason the OP mentions: folks are coming in and running scrolls out to their true faction, infiltrating and reporting on the movement of groups they're in, taking the hammer into the bay, etc. Nobody can trust anybody unless they know them personally and the campaign is dying as a result.

    Which is ironic because the last three campaign cycles had terrific population numbers, giving complete lie to the false claim that non-CP can't support itself.

    Looking at you to BGs lazy solutions ruin the game....

    They need a new campaign for the fraction fanatics to be perma locked in there, simple.

    Honestly if you don't play No-CP why even talk about it. You have Laat, we don't have an equivalent any longer.

    This is exactly how things were on PS4 when Sotha Sil was unlocked. They use the campaign to sell emp and they'll do whatever it takes make sure to discourage actual gameplay to make their gold/farm ap. It ruins the whole campaign. It's not about RPing faction loyalty, I don't even care if people have multiple colours and participate. But some people actively troll and manipulate the campaign. That's what ruins it.

    The truth is CP has a locked and unlocked campaign. Let No-CP have the same. It won't completely eliminate manipulation but it'll mitigate it at least. The ones who sell emp/manipulate will probably gravitate towards the unlocked one.

    If ZOS were to introduce a truly competitive campaign, you know, one which is not decided by 10 guys painting the map one color every night, I would at least understand and wouldn't really mind having a faction lock to keep the competitve spirit.

    But as it is, half measures like faction lock do not bring any positives like making campaign score really competitive but still retain all of their negatives like preventing people from playing with friends/their favorite alt.
