I call absolute ***, 4 am 19/11/14, AD crown emperor in 2 nd place with a low pop bonus of 824/hr.
Ad gained 2nd place as is by pop bonus, completely making a mockery of the hard work of the DC faction.

Thank you for staying patient, all. We have looked into the population bonus and everything seems to be working as designed. To give you a bit more insight into the mechanic, the population bonus is applied and dissolved over time and not immediately. Because of the gradual application, there isn't really a way for players to log in and out to raise or lower the bonus in a consistent way.
We can say after looking at the campaigns from the back end that the battles are often pretty close! That said, we will continue monitoring the campaigns to see if the population bonus needs to be tweaked.

Maldamus✭✭✭In support of the above, also they have more points to come as scrolls go uncontested due to the population inbalance, @Yusuf, your copy paste of @zos_tristank post is almost as fail as the content of said post.

Omg this is THORNBLADE EU?
So i assaulted EP/AD with a guild teamspeak raid (which gave us like 300 points perhaps in 5 hours.
For nothing because AD will just get 932 POINTS.
This is why i am thinking to quit the game they are saying: we dont see any problems ???????
Yeah wtf... it just feels like i am destroying our spot if i play PvP i can better stay out of the campaign *** ***...YT: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheESOmaster

In this case AD is the faction doing the nightcapping, having most keeps and most players, while still receiving nearly 1000 points per hour, due to the low population bonus being broken working as intended.

✭I tell you: broken "travel to player" mechanism. If you do not count the real pop numbers, you can't control the low pop bonus in the right way.
Yeh, yeh, I'm going to shut up with my conspiracy theory. Travel to player is important and always working as intended.Edited by Keron on November 19, 2014 8:55AM3 -

Except for I am quite familiar with what is going on, since about a dozen threads have been posted on the subject over the last month.
AD on this campaign apparently is only ever at high pop for a few hours every day, otherwise they are crushed to their spawn. While they are at the spawn and camped, population goes low, and then they roar back later with full pop during the four hour evaluation time and hold things.
Seems legitimate to me, stop ganging up on them when they are low pop.@rylanadionysis == Closed Beta Tester October 2013 == Retired October 2016 == Uninstalled @ One Tamriel Release == Inactive Indefinitely

You say you are quite familiar with what is going on and then proceed to describe a campaign that is certainly not EU-TB. Take a hike.Lava_Croft wrote: »

sphane✭✭✭It has been proven AD is at low pop most of the time (really ?). It's why they are awarded huge amount of points to catch up. And it is working as intended as ZOS said to protect their drunken designer.
So now, we have to Admit (and hail them for that, since (once agian) AD is not playing, daily proven by the rewards) that AD has the best NPC crue able to cap keeps and scrolls against real players. What we (EP) and DC have to do now is to better train our NPC too and just let them play agianst AD ones and come back in 15 days to see the result at the end of the campain.1 -

Thudunblundur✭✭✭Zenimax cannot have fitted this bonus mechanism to Thornblade NA and then applied the result across all campaigns can they? It would fit what we are seeing on Thornblade EU and no decision made by Zenimax has the capacity to surprise me any more.0
