Balancing campaigns (The strong becomes even more stronger)

I was very happy when we got a new 30 day campaign on PS4 EU. Azura star is always pop-locked, and the rest were mostly buff campaigns, one sided adventure maps.
Scourge offered something alike to Azura. PvP. Chance for big battles, sieges. I personally dont care about zergs, for me they are part of eso PvP.
I observed tho that a faction usually starts to dominate the others, which resulted with more and more players on the other side quitting, making them even weaker.
The victorious faction who owns keeps and scrolls, and emperror receives buffs that makes them even stronger. They won because they were strong in the first place.
Past week its been a decline in the population of AD & DC while EP was owning most of the map (PS4 EU). One can still find good PvP here, but the less activity the other factions show the less fun the campaign offers to everyone.
I'd personally redesign the rewards a bit.
Those who rule cyrodil do not really need more combat prowess. The emperors alone are already tough nuts to break. Why dont the Enemy keeps and scrolls offer other rewards instead? Like gold income. AP income. Those who rule the land are richer.
On the other hand those who have nothing become desperate. And fight more ferouciously. Give the combat bonuses to the losing factions. A way to balance their lower population.
TL; DR: Rebalancing campaign rewards : Keeps, emperor, scroll giving monetary and rewards instead of combat bonuses. Combat bonuses are given to the underpopulated, or losing factions.

hell5969✭i agree basically with what you say but there should be a cap on the number of player in blackwater blade. as the campaign loads you will see no populations in theDC or the EP but the AD have two wheels filled in , now to anyone with half a brain they can see that this is totally wrong how can you fight to hold a a keep when your being out numbered 4 to 1 its like a plague of locusts swarming over you , im sorry but i dont call this a fair fight , and its certainly not fun . the last two emperors have both been vtr level 1 , i understand they would have leveled up whilst playing but its supposed to be non vet , when you get a level 11 against that sort of power it would put them off cyrodiil . . so please zos put a cap on it if the other cheeses in the wheel arnt full then restrict the cap to one cheese each , and fill at a even rate . otherwise you will only have one faction playing it

✭✭✭I have hated the emperor system and the way the buffs are set since launch. The strong do not need more combat buffs; they are already winning. give those buffs to the faction(s) that actually need them. Give the winners instead what you said; AP and gold buffs, etc2
