Yes, as stated I do play on Thornblade EU. Yes, I have seen them, in this current campaign. Yes, it does not happen as much as before (especially on former campaign, AB), at least on the upper end of that spectrum.
The last time I have seen a 50+ train of yellows was yesterday evening, at around 8.30pm, attacking BRK while blue was with a similar group on Chalman. And yes, we lost both keeps and the scroll due to that.
Keron,
so, let me get this straight, you guys held ALL the scrolls, and the say how 'how did you manage to get so many players online'? Basically looks like we wanted our scroll back and most ppl went there to get it nearly the same time... very few pvp guild are left playing Thornblade atm. Stop pretending that your sheer numbers are not accounting for a major part of your victory. I was on this morning when EP had med, and AD had low as well as DC low..there was soooo many Ep players we could not take a keep back... as you guys took ALL keeps scrolls and resources last night...
We are not asking for anything except FAIR PLAY.. which means numbers are basically equal.
The problem is that many players are 'winning team joiners'. This became very apparent when EP had a good lead to DF and AD for the first time in this campaign and in the days following the numbers of players of DF and AD decreased and of EP increased. I'm sure that up to 50% of DF and AD players changed fronts and play now for EP.Ok, for a week now EP has well over double the numbers of both AD and DC combined. How can you call this balanced! There is no point going there anymore, and when i go to chillrend the whole map is blue!
There needs to be a way to balance this, queue people if one side has way much more members then the others!
Late in the evening EP can keep 3 keeps defended, capture 2 scrolls and take any keep they want with nothing stopping them.
Most of the good PvP guilds have left Thornblade for just this reason.
Balance it out somehow, plz...or PvP (which is awesome in this game) will die a slow death by faction controlling their own map and no real PvP being played on any of them.

The biggest question (for me, at least) is do you EP who partake in this play style actually enjoy it? To me, it seems incredibly boring:
…
…. Again.. fair play is all we are asking for. Being steamrolled by EP mobs because you have low numbers is not very fun.
Also; I am playing a NB and specialize in ganking- stealth killing. …

I play EP on Thornblade EU and I enjoy playing there. I usually play at EU prime-time and in that time period the AD and DC is giving us a good fight

So you want EP players to spread out more so you can gank them while they roam around the map without a clue where to go and how the prevent getting ganked? And you think that would be fair play? OK
One thing that impresses me on this campaign is the organization of the unorganized players (those not in a group). Waiting until a few others ride to the same destination, getting clear orders where help is needed and at what time so getting a small group up to ride to that place is easier. Players with faster horses waiting for players with slower horses - to prevent them getting ganked. Players helping others who get ganked instead of running to safety.
Those AD gankers are really helpful - they offer a very important service to EP, fast travel to a forward camp where help is really needed.

I agree that Zenimax has to implement some restrictions to prevent extreme imbalances through 'winning team joiners'. A good way would be to force players to choose an allianz for the whole time (7/14/30 days) when they enter this particular campaign the first time. And 'underdog bonusses' have to be higher.
I like this tactic: cut's off transport links but ganks to help transportI don't mind giving 200 AP for fast travel, especially when help is needed at some keep
As for night caps, check how many time zones are there, if it night for you doesn't mean that it's same for everybody.
Yup, that is the EP skill, EP players speak off.…

Me telling ppl that I am stealth hunter was not intended to tell EP players to spread out, it was to help ppl understand what my observations were about the way EP plays and there are just so many EP players on that its difficult to find small groups of them. …

Not always been like that though has it??? its the skill that's made AD and DC run off and cry on other campaigns.... They have been completely battered in to submission just like the blue faced , yellow backed cowards we knew they were
I would rather we have a strong fight, however if the attitude of the other factions is "well now they have an advantage this is too much work so we quit" there really wont be any way to stop us.
There was only a week ago a time when we were pushed all the way back, losing our scrolls because AD and DC pushed hard, then because of the night-cap everyone gave up, quitters will never be winners, sorry.
AD and DC have their night cappers but they got their butts kicked and ran off to dominate little campaigns to make themselves feel good again. Shame...thanks for the gold when the campaign ends and hope you get your bottle back.
