Would you like to see "Friendly Fire" added to siege.

I have exploited being able to be in the AoE hit zone of an oil pour by friendly players for as long as I can remember. I have been pouring the oil on myself since release. Its always felt "off" to me and I would like to see AoE added to all siege. Now as a guild we sometimes pass the crown to a tank and focus meatbag and oil catapults on their location.
What do YOU think about Friendly Fire Siege?

    While I realise it could become a griefers paradise, I would hope player reports would allow zenimax to police the system. You could have a friendly fire rating too, so you could have a title for pro siege users "Siege Engineer". If your rating of friendly fire was too high - you could be put on a siege lockout. There are many ways to stop abuse!!

    Edit - I apologise for the syntax error with 2 anyway's In the option: I don't buy/use siege for my alliance - there does not seem to be a way to edit a poll after its posted.

    This would be a nightmare for those situations where people are jockeying for the pitiful defensible positions on keeps and inner keeps, especially the way the camera likes to screw you over with the crazy angles and you end up hitting your area instead of the area you clearly aimed at.

    Siegeing is immersive enough. Just fix the buggy abilities and exploits.

    Its perfectly logical that siege weapons don't have friendly fire. They're magical, just like everything else in the game. That firepot oil has a mind of its own, a magical one, and knows not to harm its owner or its owners friends.

    The best thing they'll do is change the ring color for friendly siege so you know its yours not the enemies.

    Yup, if we are to have friendly fire then let's have it on all AoE damage, not just siege weaponry.

    It won't happen but it would be great to actually apply more strategy in battle rather than having groups wade in with impulse and swarm.

    I brought this topic up a couple months ago.

    And if games like Planetside2 (a MMO-like game) can have a three faction map with abundant friendly fire, so can we. You manage griefers with a panoply of penalties.

    being able to pour oil on yourself makes no sense. though this would make impulse and ranged siege incredibly hard to use, I would have no problem with friendly fire. though ultimates should not do friendly fire(like banner, veil of blades, etc....)

    I agree, I think even basic attacks should have a chance of friendly fire. This would force everyone to pay more attention, as well as make the game significantly more challenging/real

    I'd love to have friendly fire for both, siege and aoe skills as well as player collisions. I'm pretty sure it would be possible to create a good reward / punishment system that prevents people from griefing. But they should solve the server lag issue before adding more calculations to pvp.

    I dont think it's wise to give us a tool that can kill allies. Many raids, groups and players would intentionally siege their own faction. To harass, to troll or just because pissed about some def tick or AP "leeching".

    There's also problems today with spying and poor sportsmanship from enemy factions alts. Not only do they reveal plans and locations, but also scroll trolling being a pretty common occurrence. Giving enemy alts siege power is madness. Any one remember troll camps? This would be even worse.

    Already way to much drama and bad feelings within most factions. We dont need more.

    Why not a special campaign that's hardcore mode a la Battlefield?! Friendly fire everything, not just aoe! Then we could watch the real skill quarrels ignite here. You have to be sure you can pick AND hit the right targets. I wonder how well the self-policing would work if there were enough serious players. It is a fun thought at least, considering the concerning state PVP finds itself in.
    Looking for broken things in hopes they may be fixed. I've given up, my game literally works differently from yours.
