Is the above issue with the alliance population numbers and grouping exploit still an issue?

I ask because yesterday in Vivec Ps4 EU all alliances were full however it seemed no matter where you were there was a full EP zerg everywhere with what seemed to be very few DC and AD around- checked IC and this showed mostly red too.

    If it is still around I don't think it's as wide spread as people believe.

    Considering the effort you would have to go to get to get an extra 40 odd people in there (which is where it's going to be noticeable) more likely you just had a string of bad luck meeting their players whilst all of your own were doing something else.

    Still it would be nice to hear from Wheeler about the issue and if they plan to fix it (if it's actually confirmed an issue by ZOS).

    Could still be alot of people doing this- when you think about how seriously alot of guilds take PVP and farming ap it could make a big difference. If one alliance takes just 50 places from another the difference between the 2 becomes 100

    If so ZOS needs to address urgently- I dont know why they wouldnt fix this but are happy to take the game down at prime time weekends for emergency fixes for things that most people dont care about.

    BRING BACK ONE CAMPAIGN PER CHARACTER

    Most players that do this will have the AP to spear just to switch over and over

    It doesn't even have to be that sinister. What if those EP players decided that they did not want to wait on those long que times and just logged into their AD and DC alts to go into the sewers.

    Now they are not hurting EP down there, your alliances lose players and they still earn gold and alliance points down there. The other 2 alliances have way less of a population in cyrodil. Now the campaign really becomes 100v 50v50. With guys running alts in the sewers technically not cheating.

    The way this games pvp is designed makes it far too easy to cheat the scoring system. People love the skills, progression, and general gameplay but ESO really is a poorly designed pve and pvp game

    Yip I think PVP is being exploited in loads of ways and ZOS are doing nothing about it. PVP is the only part of the game I play now and it is getting from bad to worse. As I mentioned in another post on PS4 EU Vivec EP were obviously logging in to AD with these people then taking Bruma and Bleakers to only block DC. They travelled past their home keeps which EP held and went straight to Bruma?!

    Zos please at least comment!!

    they don't care, so why should they comment?
    There are several bugs and exploits around and they simply do not react on it. The only thing that happened (right after the CE thing) is that they've created a single thread where they can collect all the "trash". A black hole... This way they can ignore everything very easily.

    What I'm talking about is this thread here:
    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/272833/cheating-and-exploits/p1

    Take a look at what people are bringing up and the lack of response from ZOS's side.
    This and further bugs / exploits have been mentioned already there, they have been reported in game. The result is nothing. They simply don't care. There's no money to be made with PVP (and I mean all those PVP players with an ongoing sub are worthless scum anyway, right?... at least it seems so)

    @stephbay123 IC was all districts yellow for a few hours primetime last night. There were quite a lot in the sewer base aswell when I popped in to list some stuff on guild stores. Theres no decent communication with AD and so each group goes off to do their own thing and it looks like theres no one around.

    The AD that took Bruma and Bleakers weren't EP alts, they were AD. I know because we fought them at Bruma and one of them was pushing for Emp.

    Pushing for emp when they didn't even hold their home keeps?

    Removing the campaign faction lock should have never been a thing. You shouldn't be able to play with different characters on the same campaign for a different faction. It's just promoting all kinds of issues and is more or less giving carte blanche for certain exploits, namely Emperor farming as example.
    Main characters: Feanor the Believer - AD Altmer mSorc - AR 50 - Flawless Conqueror (PC EU)Idril Arnanor - AD Altmer mSorc - CP 217 - Stormproof (PC NA)Other characters:

    AP farming. I meant "pushing" in the sense of 3rd in the leaderboards and needs AP faster.

    They take Bruma in case they die while taking Bleakers. They take Bleakers to cut DC off and now they're right between DC and EP with both sides pushing the Outpost.

    Also, DC do this fairly regularly with Sej and other notable people in AD did this a few nights ago. There's nothing ulterior going on here, just good groups wanting to get AP.
