How to win a campaign without even being there

Step 1:
Find a campaign your faction doesn't use and tell your mates about a easy way to get rewards
Step 2:
Home campaign, get all your alts to home campaign so that the 2% and 10% is a greater number.
Step 3:
Take/hold decent amount of scoring objectives.
Step 4:
Leave campaign back to your buff server. So that the low pop buff takes over and your score will be way more then if effort was actually put in.
You can actually hold a lot less and be more than the dominant faction when they have emp.
Step 5:
Last 24-36 hours of campaign. Dominate the map in an offpeak time and leave for max points.
TLDR:
Is this what you had in mind for the low pop bonus and removing the 'buff' servers? Look how much DC vs EP score difference. Delete Chillrend problem fixed.

This recent update has made me sad. Sad for the game. Sad for the community. Sad to pay whatever it is now. I want the previous eso back.

✭Currently on NA there is a few too many campaigns. Scrolls being dominated by EP, literally no one else goes there. Keeps are never pop locked. Resources has both healthy pop of DC and AD but EP on low pop. The 2x 30 days are zerg fests and BB, well, no one cares about BB.
There is a low pop bonus now to scores and last night on Haderus it was even active when EP were winning. I guess it was intended to help during Oceanic and EU timeslots for campaigns catchup with score.
AD is dominating this campaign score due to them using Emp most of the time to farm IC. But some crafty EP have noticed that if you do a map cap, or even just hold 6 resources constantly and then leave you get low pop bonus that is way OP. So you get 100k AP for the rewards and a little leaderboard buffer. Do some dailies on your alts for some AP to increase the amount of people on the leaderboard.
DC has for most part held same amount of scoring objectives as EP. But haven't got the low pop buff to get them over 200 per tick. AD could own the map and still never get a tick as high as EP can achieve with their low pop. EP could have as little as 6 resources and low pop bonus could boost that past AD who have all the Emp keeps.
I haven't been on Chillrend, but AD and DC could do the same thing to EP there. That's why if you just get rid of Chillrend (scrolls) at the end of next campaign those EP will disperse across the other servers or just flood another. Who knows, where ever there is siege and a wall to hide behind. That's where they will be.

OmniDevil✭✭✭✭This could just be me, but not only are you insinuating this doesn't happen with any other Alliance, you also generalize the issue to all EP? GG, guy.
It's one thing to dislike another alliance, it's another to let a game get so under your skin you actually despise the players in that alliance.
Nothing is stopping this from happening on any other campaign with any other alliance.

I talked about population in the first paragraph. Here is the last paragraph for you again.

✭✭✭✭✭Low pop bonus destroyed PvP for me way back in November 2014. I played Thornblade (PC/EU) almost 100% of my online time, in a guild, doing organized raids. Put a hell of a lot of effort into the campaign. Yet everything I and other committed DC players did was undone time and time again by ridiculous low-pop bonuses granting higher scores than you could ever get even if you held all resources. I gave it another go in December, but the result was the same: score flipped completely in the last few days of the campaign thanks to low population bonus (in addition to occasional boosts of 10k+ points to certain factions within few hours during the campaign).
This, in addition to the lag, the bugs and the exploits that are still not fixed, is why I will never again put that sort of effort into the broken mess that is PvP in this game.
[EDIT] To comment on the OP, I wouldn't get my hopes up that ZOS are going to do anything about this. It's old news, there were heated discussions in the forums a year ago and ZOS' stance was that it was working as intended. They did appear to change some things with 2.1, but from what I've read in the patch notes, the potential for abuse is now even higher than before (higher threshold for low-pop bonus, faster ticks, more points for low-pop faction). I may have read it wrong, but in any case, as you may imagine, I don't really care about PvP enough to check this out.Edited by daemonios on September 12, 2015 12:21AM1 -
