I also posted this in the "Campaigns Section" so forgive the double post. Guildmates said I should have put it here, that no one reads the other section.


.
Two Alliances were going at it in a resource campaign last night. One clearly won, and the other gave up and went elsewhere.
Lets look at the scoring
......................TEAM A...... TEAM B
KEEPS..............12................3
RESOURCE.......32................12
OUTPOST..........3.................0
SCROLLS..........6.................0
Potential Pts...50...............60

What is that crap? Seriously? You reward a team for getting crushed and running away more points than the team that is controlling the whole map?
What is the logic behind that?

Are you thinking they won't catch up unless they get people to log on?
NO - they could sneak on at like 3am on Tuesday and take back the map, instead of doing it on a weekend when everyone is playing. ZOS that is a terrible philosophy. Your killing the biggest time for group play and rewarding whomever it is can play every night of the week.

Get rid of the population bonus.......... let the winners, win..

    If the population bonus didn't exist, the losing factions wouldn't bother playing or would simply change faction. And you'd be left to gain ap by repairing keeps all day.

    ...is exactly what you'd say if you were losing and it didn't exist

    Yep :) I know all too well what it's like to play a faction vs faction mmo where one faction just completely dominates the other into oblivion... it's terrible. People just swarming to the winning faction, 10 people on the winning faction to 1 on the losing one.

    It's not about people logging in. Population bonus depends on how many people of that faction have that campaign assigned as their home campaign.
