Stop decreasing cyrodiil max population!

Punitio · May 12

I queued 40 minutes or more to join Cyrodiil Gray Host, and it feels empty.
No only i request to stop decreasing cyro max pop, but i request to bring it back up to where it was a couple years ago.
I spent lots of dollars in this game for cool cosmetic stuff and i only enjoy playing pvp, i don't care about any pve related stuff, and this is killing my desire to play the game the way i want.
Thanks.

Here we go again...There is no proof they decreased it. It's most likely people are playing other games rather than this laggy, buggy pvp.

If the queue is that long it means cyrodiil is literally at max capacity, and still feels empty.

The actual numbers haven't been released, but they don't need to be. It is very obvious that the population caps have been decreased time and time again. High queue times paired with little action on the map is evidence for this. Also the fact that there is only ever about 1 or 2 big fights on the map. There's been times in PvP where I as a blue, went between a yellow owned alessia and a red owned sejanus and didn't see a single enemy for over 10 minutes. This was in a pop locked Grey Host. Back in 2015 and even 2016 I remember seeing multiple fights on the map all the time, even if the campaign wasn't pop locked yet. We can say with absolute certainty that Cyrodiil isn't the 600v600v600 zone it once was. I doubt it's even close to 600 people in total at this point.

This isn’t new, at least to me. I’ve seen this since probably 2018-2019 where it just seems an alliance, or my own, vanish even when pop locked. It’s like for 30 minutes or an hour everyone is RPing as Dwemer.

One minute you’ll have this glorious fight at a keep where it’s a faction stack vs another alliance and it’s great… and then for a very long time it’s quiet… nothing on any side. I could ride from Kingcrest to Black Boot to Warden and not get ganked and you look at the population… locked. It’s weird.
