I agree to your sentiments, but tell ZOS they are "incompetent fools" probably isn't going to help your cause, if anything you might get yourself a warning within the forum.

The bottom line is, you aren't going to find to many yellows moving over if the populace is to heavy in either faction as the chances of emp would be few and far between.

If I thought being polite would have any meaningful effect on how ZOS handle their business then I would be, but alas, I have reached the point where my frustration is such that I no longer really care.

um don't ad have like 4 campaigns completely locked down already? go to one of those? even for you insane overpopulated numbers I think locking another down would stretch you pretty thin.

to EP its our only "buff campaign" which is a *** mechanic and shouldn't be in the game (HEHE HOME HERE GUEST IN REAL PVPPPPPP AND FOR TRIALZ)

AD have plenty

I'm not interested in running with a zerg or just homing somewhere to get the buffs. Nor am I asking to 'lock down" Goldbrand. What I want is enjoyable, competitive, smaller scale PVP, which requires some level of population balance. I don't necessarily want us to own the map, but when there is one alliance with so few players as to essentially be irrelevant then the Alliance War clearly is not functioning.

Hammer, I'll put my money where my mouth is, I'll move to Goldbrand and help out if help is needed. Of course I'm only one person but it's one more player that campaign didn't have before.

As of this moment the AD leaderboards show a grand total of 33 players, only 8 of whom have more than 10,000 points.

Meanwhile, Red and blue take turns farming emp

What an embarrassment. There are at minimum 200 enemies for these 33 mostly inactive AD to tackle, though surely more.

ZOS -- If you can't manage player population better than this then just close the campaign already you incompetent fools.

And that is the problem, i am always there spamming the zone chat for a group that actually wants to do something.

The red have 2 keeps, a resource and a scroll, and no matter what i do or say, no response.

I do not farm, not in ESO not in any other game i every played......never.

Perhaps you could ask your guilds to join Goldbrand? I'm trying the same for Ebonheart.

It's difficult to convince people to come to a losing campaign, especially when there isn't really any player base there to begin with. Many people prefer to home on a campaign where their alliance controls everything so they get the buffs.

I'll look for you guys. I haven't bothered even going to GB recently since it has been so dead, but I'll try to make more effort.

I play as Ferawen btw, and Zesty the Cat (top of AD leaderboards atm) can often gather a small group at least. We have been trying to build an AD guild for GB without much luck.

Ahhh Ferawen lol

Haha, did I say something funny?

I miss our old rivalry. AD was most often outnumbered but we still had a fighting chance at least, and there were some great battles in those days.

i dont get it... you people picked a low pop campaign then complain when all the action is elsewhere?

I know reading is a challenge but please give it a try.

I want a low pop campaign, that is not the issue. The issue is imbalance.

Lowbei wrote: »

reading wasnt a "challenge", but its obvious that you arent pvping for a "challenge" while you dodge the real pvp action to pve some keeps on a dead server.

What are you even talking about?

I couldn't PvE a keep if I wanted to because there are no AD players on this campaign. I couldn't scrounge up a group of 10 if my life depended on it. And "PvE'ing keeps on a dead server" is absolutely not the experience I want, which you'd know if you'd even bothered to read my comments above.

Do me a favour and stop cluttering my thread with off-topic comments, since you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

I apologize if you misconstrued that the purpose of this thread was to "accomplish something."

The purpose of this thread was to point out how horribly imbalanced and amateurishly managed PvP is in ESO.

Frankly, I don't care about anyone's perception re: the tone of my comments, because the reality is that no one in a position to implement change has indicated even the awareness that such change is required, let alone willingness to do so.

I paid for this game just like you did. If I can't at least have my 2 cents, I'd sure like my $150 back.

In comments to Goldbrand, I joined ~4 days into the campaign after volendrug was taken over by EP and AD trading emperor. Easy solution, move. Then Goldbrand was an emp flipping campaign, but I would help take everything, defend until I had to sleep, and the next day after work it would be red again. A pain, but at least there was PvP.

Now, Goldbrand is all blue. I don't care about the passives. I just want to fight. So when something goes red I go and fight. The problem isn't emp flipping. There's about an equal number of active EP and DC on that server. But the DC is well organized. And the EP don't seem to be. So it's not an unbalanced campaign for EP and DC, just a low population campaign. Two different problems, both of which will hopefully be fixed in Campaign patch.

That being said, EP and AD are more than welcome to come fight us in Goldbrand! I'd love some real AvAvA.

feel free to play on wabba if you want pvp.

Disclaimer: I hate this phrase

If you want PvP, zerging, lagfest, and to play against both the most talented and the talentless play on wabba.

Nothing against wabba, but my computer can't handle that many people on one screen. I'll admit there is tact involved in many of the large and small groups on wabba, but I prefer the lower population campaigns (just not too low).

Goldilocks complex, I know.
