Troll guilds claiming keeps.

    @Siliconhobbit_ESO

    OK, now that you admitted to lying, let me explain to you why you are wrong.

    You initial premise was "Assuming there are NO OTHER advantages," and "Since the only advantage to claiming a keep IS the quartermaster use for a trade store, claiming a keep should be restricted to guilds with a guild store unlocked to them.

    If you are going to enjoy that CAPS LOCK key to yell at us at what you think are absolute truths, then you do look silly when people point out you are wrong. Mako1132 was exactly right when he said that pride and prestige were every bit as valid reasons for claiming ownership of a keep. In fact, the Zenimax trailer that introduced Guild Tabbarbs specifically mentioned the pride and prestige aspect that they served.

    Your weak, lame, and wrong response to this was "Your arguement of pride, prestige, and banners flying is less tangible then me claiming a keep for the trade kiosk alone, simply because keeps change hands so much."

    No it's not less tangible. I will never ever see your trade kiosk. Ever. Because I don't shop in Cyrodiil. You are your guild are invisible to me. You get zero tangible benefits from me. None. I have and will, however, gained a greater appreciation for players like Germtrocity and Namiera (sorry for misspelling your names) and others like them because they have claimed prominent keeps such as Arrius and Glademist. As you say, any troll can claim a keep, but when these same names consistently pop up on important keeps and my own inquires confirmed they were good and respected players, then their name carries an important and significance miles beyond your kiosk. If Namiera says in zone "Attack Arrius," I am going to do that because I know that is a strategic move for my alliance that is backed up by good players and an important guild. If Germtrocity offers advice on how to play a sorcerer, I will stop what I am doing and pay attention. If you say "Attack Arrius," I will ignore that like your Kiosk. Since you are so fond of using CAPS, I will do so as well, but actually be correct: there ARE tangible benefits that come with prestige. And this does not even get into issues such as recruitment which is the lifeblood of every guild

    And if prestige dosen't matter to you because keeps change hands so much, then your guild kiosk doesn't matter either. You are a hypocrite to say those 20 minutes your guild kiosk is in operation is invaluable to you for sales, but somehow those same 20 minutes are not valuable to a guild looking to make a name for themselves in Cyrodiil.

    I would like your @ name

    You take two full raids and one of them builds their raid to support and help each other. The other raid just is full of random players who do not adjust their builds to support a raid. The end result the first raid stomps the floor with the other raid then continues to conquer cyrodiil. Exactly why my guild had 22 people holding a scroll at the spawn of a pop locked enemy faction and they couldn't stop it or kill us.

    One group of players is doing what it takes to make the faction stronger. The other group of players is fighting to maintain their personal identities and builds. So you got keeps named "butt hole lickers" and "rubbed one out" instead of DC Trading Guild. One just trolls while the other offers the faction resources to win fights.

    You are very pro @ pvp strats. Pls teach that scrub WRX not to be bad and end up getting owned in pvp vids,

    I'm trying to figure out why this thread is even still happening...
    OP, you're wrong, small groups can and do contribute to keep takes, some even do it alone, and they should have the same right to claim the keep as any other guild, and no one cares whether or not you like the guild name.
    Also, Cyrodiil is not your personal shopping center, if you want to buy stuff, go to Rawl'kha like errrrybody else.

    Also I love the funny names on keeps. "Audrey will you marry me" was my favourite.
    I quite liked 'Dee-tick's LM' for EP on Thorn at the end of last year. Often placed on Arrius LM :D

    In order to be good at pvp you will need weapons, armor, jewelry, food, potions, drinks. I guess if you don't care about winning or being good then what I'm saying makes no sense at all. But for those of us who actually care about being good at pvp and winning maps then it is very important.

    Those who are good at this game already earn their weapons, armor & jewelry and most can already make their own consumables. The fact that you think your gear makes you good tells me you really have no clue what you are talking about and are too poor/cheap to get a kiosk

    "it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days." - Matt Firor

    I make my own craftable armor, weapons, food, and tripots. As for my jewelry and dropped sets, I either got them from PVE or bought them from pve'rs I know.
    I don't rely on Cyrodiil keeps for my shopping needs, it's a pvp zone, not Wal-Mart.

    I'm not trying to convince you the obvious troll responses coming from 4 players and 2 of them are probably the same person having a discussion with themselves. Somehow you fail to see the value of convenience. Also fail to see the symbolism in my earlier statement about 2 full raids. So long as you are strong and have everything you need then who cares about the rest of your faction so long as you can name keeps with troll guilds everything is good to go. Best Templar in the game is one of the best jokes I have heard in a long long time.

    Banana Squad has 25 members but is - sorry for bragging - one of the strongest pvp guilds on EU. So we should not be able to claim a keep that we took 12v40 because apparently we are just a troll guild... Instead some trading guild or bad megaguild should get to claim the keep despite they did nothing in order to take the keep...

    Never bothered looking at this thread until now. OP is a top tier player with post history to back it up:
    So will a level 50 be able to wear v14 gear or is there something to unlock in the champion system first?
