Because before WCFC quit and splintered, red had a hyooge Oceanic/U.S. morning presence. Their lead has diminished immensely since this.
Please don't try to talk like you know everything about what is going on on Thornblade when you are homed on Chillrend. Let people who are established here since the beginning explain how things go.
WCFC did play on Thornblade for a while. They are a multi-campaigns guild. They have helped EP but I don't consider them the most important factor of why EP was far ahead in the lead for a while.
EP lead diminished when Venatus came back on Thornblade for a week and when they got all scrolls and turned the map yellow on multiple occasions.
EP lead diminished when No Mercy guested on Thornblade for a week and capped EP home keeps several times in a row.
EP lead diminished when we started getting double teamed constantly.
No matter the efforts of WCFC, no guild could stand against 2 factions actively working together. I'm not blaming them btw, this is pure common sense to create an alliance (with communication or not) to get the winning faction down.
I don't see how you think organizing pugs makes a strong guild group, but okay...skwornub18_ESO wrote: »And wouldn't "who can organize their pugs in the most effective manner" be a measure of quality?Well, thank you for asking son. The score shows who has the most presence in off hours, who has the most population in general, and who can organize their pugs in the most effective manner. Only at prime time are the quality of organized guilds revealed, but alas, they are only a few of the 24 hours and have little bearing on the end score.the score doesn't show the quality of your groups
Indeed, it would help EP alot. This is kinda sad that EP is winning Thornblade with 2k lead still with 3days left on the campaign without any decent guild and without night capping like AD, without morning capping like DC at all.
What does the score shows professor Braidas ?
Note - you said great guilds, which you have since changed to "important". That is a more accurate statement.

Get real, as soon as anyone tries to take Azura Star ALL of AD will swarm it to protect the buff server
ya they really need to make 2 30 day campaigns plus the non-vet and push pop-caps down to 2-3 bars.Sypherpkub17_ESO wrote: »The problem is we had enough people to lock up 2 campaigns.
Thorn and chill during prime time used to both be locked or high pop.
Whatever happened on chillrend pushed out the ad and EP and now it's a buff server. So, everyone who used to play there now is going to thorn blade.
The severs just can't handle the population.
no one said it's wrong, just that it decides campaigns and so the scoring system is completely flawed. imo, scoring should scale to more points the more people are on and for each faction. e.g., if ep is poplocked while DC+AD are at one bar even with control of the entire map they get essentially no points. but if DC owns the entire map w/ AD+EP poplocked they get *** tons of points, and if EP owns the map with 1 bar while everyone else is 1 bar as well they still get very few points.jkirchner71ub17_ESO2 wrote: »I love this notion that "night capping" or "morning capping" is wrong or weak sauce.

I for one enjoy playing on a highly populated server so I play on Thornblade. If this changes then I will change and most likely those in my PvP guild would also. We all try and follow the action and right now the most competitive and action intensive seems to be Thornblade. If AS picks up I'm sure more will migrate but I am also willing to deal with the crashes and lag in hopes that Zos will get it fixed soon.

Your example is inaccurate. EP is only at most equal with AD on bars but more often than not AD is ahead by one bar. Normally DC is one bar below EP. Happy to be proved wrong but that's my observation in the last month.
For scoring bonuses there is already something like this in place. If your faction has consistently lower population it will gain bonus points. Similarly if your faction is down in points you will get bonus points. I think both bonuses get removed when your faction catches up to the leader. Seems a fair enough system - at least it's keeping things interesting in TB.
Nope...I'm right here too :P And my initial comment was that EP has no "great guilds" as Frozn put it. They have 3 large pretty effective ones, but none of any particular challenge. That comment on its own is a bit out of context.the score doesn't show the quality of your groups

if it was chillrend, azuras star, or hedarus, you would be right.
What I still just don't understand is why some player bases won't relocate to Azura's Star so that they can get a full raid group instantly and don;t have to sit in queue for an hour or even more only to have it crash a half hour later.

Define great because we have won the most populated campaign and are currently winning this one when in the beginning it looked to be another AD nightcap fest.
How many has DC ever won?

The current system gives a huge advantage to whoever has the most population during off hours. If EP (example) has 70 guys on TB at 3 am EST while DC has 15 and AD 40, all 3 populations are very low so points should barely count, and EP's score should be further reduced for their population advantage. In the current system, they would get the same score during tri-poplocked primetime, which is ridiculous. Basically, more people overall should = more points, and less people in your faction relative to the others should = more points. The current underdog bonuses in place are not effective.
Would fix nightcapping, and winning by numbers.

I will attempt once more to say that it is simply an example, and is in no way based on any truth. Just a random example, flip EP and DC if you'd like. Point is, if you take a keep while everyone is poplocked, it should be worth more than if you take a keep while everyone is at one bar. Similarly, if you take a keep while at 1 bar, and the other factions are at 2 bars, it should be worth more. I don't usually play off hours so I don't know about the current state of nightcapping, but just because it isn't happening now doesn't mean it won't in the future. It's been a problem since the beginning, and needs addressing to make something even close to an accurate scoring system.I'm not sure you know what an example is...just a representation of the idea, not necessarily the truth :Pno one said it's wrong, just that it decides campaigns and so the scoring system is completely flawed. imo, scoring should scale to more points the more people are on and for each faction. e.g., if ep is poplocked while DC+AD are at one bar even with control of the entire map they get essentially no points. but if DC owns the entire map w/ AD+EP poplocked they get *** tons of points, and if EP owns the map with 1 bar while everyone else is 1 bar as well they still get very few points.jkirchner71ub17_ESO2 wrote: »I love this notion that "night capping" or "morning capping" is wrong or weak sauce.

What night capping? This isn't happening on Thornblade. I'm from Oztralia and I'm on from 4am est every night after work. There were only a few days where EP owned the map. I've come online sometimes to see EP own 0 keeps and 0 or 1 scroll and we have to fight very hard to make back any ground. Sure there were some good days but also plenty of bad days. Another thing: I have not seen a day this month where EP had more bars than AD. It's always been equal or in favour of AD.To me it seems very balanced all 3 alliances separated only by a handful of points with only 3 days to go.
I agree your alliance has fewer numbers but maybe that's what comes of being split across two servers while EP is all on one server. You already win your home server. Must you win your guest one as well?
I haven't cared about campaign scores since 1.3, and certainly do not take EG getting rolled as a personal loss. DC deserves to lose when half of it comprises that abomination./sigh i just went over how the scores are meaningless...scroll upNope...I'm right here too :P And my initial comment was that EP has no "great guilds" as Frozn put it.

Sounds more like an excuse to justify losing to me.
But that's none of my business though
