Should homing/guesting stay the way it currently is?

As the poll's title says, should homing/guesting stay the way it currently is?
I don't think so - and here's why.
There is a system that doesn't allow you to home/guest one campaign on a faction if you have home/guested that campaign on another faction.
This system was established for one reason: to stop troll-camping (the act of placing a forward camp in a terrible place that blocks out the ability to place a camp somewhere it is needed). However, forward camps are no longer able to be bought from vendors and are, quite frankly, rarely used anymore due to their short supply, much less for the purpose of troll-camping. Some people might argue this system was established to stop spies. However, spies are quite rare nowadays as most coordination is done in TeamSpeak servers, in /group chat, or in /tell chat. So what is this system's current function then? That's right; it's useless.
On top of being useless, this system can potentially cause guilds to split when the 1.7 update (Imperial City) arrives. Here's how: lots and lots of people, even my own guildmates, play multiple factions. They cannot home or guest the same campaigns (the most populated one, Azura's Star, for example) with all of their guilds with this system in place. However, they were still able to play with their other-faction-guilds on one campaign because of the travel to player bug. In 1.7, however, this bug is fixed. Because of this, coupled with the aforementioned system, they may need to choose one faction. This should not happen on a game that allows you to make characters on multiple factions. A useless system should not cause guilds to split.
How do you all feel about this system? Vote below.

Sliding in.
Why I removed my 2 chars in the other factions cause I did not know what to do with them since I can not play with them if I wanted too without moving servers which is a very tedious task.
But this spy stuff I guess is something that will happen, but I do not know what it will affect. the organized guilds don't write in chat and will prolly not invite pug to their group anyway so what can he do? Might follow them but have to find them first though. Seem very boring to me though.
I would want this to be removed because I have char in another faction or one of my friends do, then we can fight eachother test out builds etc, we still can.. but I wont bother.Moons and sands shall be your guide and path.

✭✭We should not have the whole "one faction per campaign" thing anymore.Not being able to play with all my cross-faction friends whenever, prevents me from playing the way I want to play, and ruins my immersion.
If they -must- go through with this change of theirs, then at least let us abandon our campaign choices at will. Make it cost AP if you don't want it abused. But do not pigeon-hole us to choose one faction and one campaign.5 -

ItsRejectz✭✭✭✭✭We should not have the whole "one faction per campaign" thing anymore.I have characters on DC,AD and EP. The reason I did this is so I can play with and against New people. My issue is that my AD and DC characters are forced to play in their buff servers which limits the fights to gates.. All because on xbox eu, the only really active campaign is azura. Chill = DC, TB=EP and Haderus =AD...
Obviously I can travel to friends in other campaigns, but obviously that won't be an option soon

Currently on EU, there are no dead campaigns, so why would they suddenly start to exist after the patch? Dead campaigns don't exist because people don't want to queue for 3 hours before being able to play PvP. Every campaign is basically filled every night on the EU server.Lava_Croft wrote: »

That sucks.
Lets put it this way, entire factions move as a unit here. When the great thornblade exodus happened about four months ago, the entire pvp population essentially just moved from thorn to azuras (greener pastures my ass)
What was left behind was a monochrome map that was flipped maybe once a week or two for emps to be farmed by the controlling faction (AD) - and only in the last week did a guild come and stay and try to contest it... at which point the AD there quit and went to Haderus (where the EP guild had come from)
A lot of guilds and players on NA avoid small scale and gvg like the plague, most just want to run in the mindless zergball or rubberband between bleak/chal, nikel/ash, alessia/sej all day long
So you do in fact get three way poplocked azuras about 8-10 hours out of the day, with queues sometimes extending into the hundreds. Though yes the population has noticeably thinned out recently.@rylanadionysis == Closed Beta Tester October 2013 == Retired October 2016 == Uninstalled @ One Tamriel Release == Inactive Indefinitely

However it does go further than just spying. Alts on enemy factions have ran Elder Scrolls back to the faction of their main. Alts on enemy factions have helped farm Emperor. And I'm sure there's other 'neat' stuff you can do this way.Edited by Lava_Croft on September 1, 2015 2:09AM0 -

Alts on enemy factions cannot help farm emperor because they are tied to one account - you cannot log into two characters of one account.
As to Elder Scrolls, I've been playing PvP since April 2014 and have NEVER seen that strategy work.

Oh believe me it works. I watched this happen myself just a few days ago.
Was on my EP char, DC scroll was near arrius keep (EP owned the keep and scroll)
A person from a DC guild swaps to her/his ep char, takes the scroll all the way to chalman where they waited for it. Ofc since the person was on EP char, we couldn't kill/stop her/him either.
Think this is the incident @Lava_Croft is talking about.Edited by Master_Kas on September 1, 2015 3:39AMEU | PC0
