Agree, 100%

Does it matter who conveys a point, as long as the point in itself is valid and has merit?

I agree. But in my opinion, they should reset emperor titles of people that achieved it in the least populated servers, that's where the dung happens.

I'd be happier if the Former Emperor title and it's benefits ceased to exist. My concern is that the new 7 day camps will become exactly what the low population camps are now.

With organized guilds accustomed to numerous methods involving emperor trading - it's all but a foregone conclusion. Suffice to say, resetting is not aggressive enough imo to combat the problem.

Even though I question the source, I do agree that emperor needs a reset after campaigns finish. For sure.

Dont really care, other than they will have passive that will (unlikely) be unobtainable to most players (as it should). Just cos the emp traded on dead campaings shouldnt benefit them on the 7 days camps. Imo anyways. I know all the former emperors out the will disagree

Nobody will remove the achievements of other players. Developers are not ***. Still need to remove the werewolves they are more dangerous than the former emperor's title.

mmorpg.com is a joke so I can't take anything that is said there seriously. At all. Let's also remember how much they hated the game anyway. Who cares about any opinion they have about ESO.

The site being a joke doesn't change the fact they have a very valid argument in this case.

Just let them keep the title but take away the skill line. They can proudly display the "former emperor farmer" title as long as they want as long as they don't gain an advantage.

Keep in mind the vast majority of people perpetrating emp trading/farming are min/maxers, people who pursue any advantage no matter how slight. Even if they nerfed the former emp buffs to a decimal point, they would still be sought after for that miniscule advantage. In all fairness this sort of behavior needs to be considered a punishable offense and enforced strictly.

There was one enemy emp who I considered a villain in my eyes because he was one of those unkillable DK emps who could wipe out entire armies, but it was revealed much later that he himself was vilified by his own faction because he would not 'abdicate' emperor to allow for his faction to trade. He stuck to his guns basically out of principle as well as pride. While he maintained a healthy lead for a long time, various changes as well as the influx of emperor farming/trading guilds to the server brought about his permanent downfall. This has been observed by other players as well, what amounts to bullying to force players to abdicate to 'clear the way' for the next person.

This needs to be considered a form of harassment and punishable as such. That and the buffs need to be changed to remove the 'one-man-army' aspect, make it to where abdicating will not bestow former emperor, and make the buffs unlocked incrementally over a period of time however long the player holds emperor. If someone goes and smokes a big fat cigar in a area clearly marked "no smoking" is that person to be allowed to do it because he wants to? No. he is instructed to go to the appropriate area or cease. Similar actions need to be taken in regards to rampant collusion. The servers were moderately full at launch. Now they are mostly empty and even the two 'hot spot' servers are dwindling in popularity. Yes bugs take a long time to iron out, but a short term solution would simply be to issue and enforce punishment against people clearly exploiting such bugs for personal gain at the expense of the population in general.

I am not an emperor not play enough to ever hold the title, but taking away the title from everyone is not fair. Their are legitimate people who attained the title properly and should not be punished for it. Even those who have the skill line unlocked, the passives when you are not Emperor, in my opinion, are that game breaking. Those who did not get the title legitimately will never be emperor again and get those huge buffs an emperor deserves. I do not know if ZOS could weed out those who emperor farmed compared to those who got the title in a legitimate fashion. The reduction of the campaigns should quell this kind of activity as each server will have a higher population then what we have now.

Yeah, it's a lose/lose situation. I honestly think they will open up the Skill line to everyone to appease the masses and only the current Emperor will get the full buffs. The title will remain to be given to Former Emps only, but the advantage of being a Former Emp will just be a title.
