not going to mention the game but the highest PvP rank actually got a different colored text when they spoke in zone chat. This made sense to me. Also..whoever is top AP in your allaince (so next to be emperor or standing emperor should have purple text)

I blow my lid everytime I see a sergeant or major "former emp" run past me.

Make it so AP is taken away when dieing to an enemy..that ap in turn is given to whoever killed you(most dps). Then judging who should be emperor off of AP will be a little more fair. (will also take away the farming sploits)

No ap given for keep sieges or resources captured.(these are strictly to be used for strategic purposes in securing the center 6 keeps or getting scrolls nothing more) Make the player guard their AP like its something special . Make them work for it..make them PVP for it...like it should be..not something that is passed around and laundered before its traded.That makes it cheap and worthless..which is what it is now..AP..AND the title of Emperor."cheap"

OH and P.S. I think the former emp title/buffs should be removed completely. Who cares if you were somebody at one time in some make believe pretend campaign where you had no competition or traded to get your title..we only care about the Current Emp and those in line.

Um, my former emp is an EP Corporal grade 1 that earned it on the nonvet server and fought tooth and nail for it in what was one of the most balanced campaigns I have seen to date. O_o

Still is actually. Sweeping generalizations are pretty uncool, and to boot I got my emp vs VR5 NPCs that could literally one shot a battle leveled player when I was level 38. Held it until I leveled out of the campaign and was "abdicated" automatically.

No trading there. Those of us who earned it legit would be quite insulted by this post, I know I am.

Blackwater has had five emperors to date (and there is about a five day gap in between the first two where there was not one). Getting emp on this campaign is actually a LOT harder than getting it on a vet campaign since taking even a single unguarded keep may take 16 players with four camps an hour because people die constantly due to the overpowered guards.

Three day no emp
AD Emp - Deposed after two days
Five day no emp
EP Emp (me) - Leveled out after four days
Five day no emp
AD Emp - Deposed after four days, was very close to leveling out anyway
DC Emp - Leveled out after three days
EP Emp - Incumbent but is level 49 and will probably be gone tomorrow. (down to 2 keeps and is probably VR1 already if they have been defending at all)

Ive seen a vr1 Tyro With former emp title.

The very first emperor of dawnbreaker NA was a level 20 something Legionary named Mox. Anyone remember Mox? Always ran with the second emp, Sinsee, who was about level 30 when they got it.

Ahhh memories...

Grats on getting Emp fighting HARD NPCs.. This is ridiculous. Getting EMP is HARD when both factions work against you, that means 2x50+ trains rolling in. But I guess killing an NPC can be tough and you have to spend a camp or two... lol gimme a break

Do you know how insulting it is as a Centurion (who has only gotten 20 th in line to be emp and who has worked for 4 months in long campaigns that cant be sploited to trade emp) to see a corporal walk passed me with the former emp title and hear them say they worked "hard" for that title?

But they worked SO hard pouring that oil or farming that suicide resource! I agree. It's pathetic and should not be a former emp buff. Maybe a better idea would be to have alliance rank 20 unlock those passives but to give them to something that requires no skill or effort... Yeesh.

Former Emperor bonuses aren't a big deal anyways imo.

I don't care either way. Should probably keep the title though :P

If I had a nickel...

Only toon I have emperor on was traded around, not to my delight. I rarely play him anymore because I am ashamed of it, please remove the buffs/title.
