Last night was the official end of competitive Pvp in Vivec the only truly active campaign on the eu server, I play a Dc character and over the years the alliance has been sucusessful.
However for around three months now our population as been in decline and Both the ad and the ep have been captilising on this, by coordinating against us, rightly so you might say..... why not press the advantage? This I have not so much of a problem with.
But what has brought me here to vent is the fact that ep and ad players are swapping between factions multiple times a day and working together to manipulate the campaign, at around 9pm GMT we had pushed most the map ep had Blue road only and their scroll gates where open. They took a blue scroll to their temple and did nothing, we took empty keeps one after the other, all the time ad where sieging blue road with max siege, after around half an hour ad where still at max siege with ZERO ep siege.
Our group went down to blue road to push for the dethrone to find a group of ad with 19 flaming oils on the ground outside the keep and on the inner keep there was one stone treb attacking the inner door, the keep was full of ad too many to even count but many of the players names where recognised as some of the top scoring ep players, after we turned up a load of ad pushed the keeps we had taken and we only had aleswel left, we where wiped and respawned there to help prevent ad being handed emproship.
We sucssefully defended aleswel ad had taken blue road but now it was under siege from ep in the same fashion as it was being attack earlier, ad kept returning to ales to push us over and over, ep where waiting for them to take aleswel before they took blue road so they could help ad get emp, eventually a second blue group took chalman and EP stopped holding out at blue road.

Now I understand in a game with three factions there will always be fights that are 2v1 but this particular play style is unsporting and not any fun, second to that at prime time DC have at most 2 bars on while AD and EP are pop locked, everyday it is essentially 6 bars v 2

DC are outnumbered every fight and the two other factions work as one with players hopping between factions multiple times a day.

There is nothing that can be done to stop this though and I understand that, one faction one character one campaign would alienate people from playing with friends, and the idea of team purple or team green is just the same as what's happening now.

I believe that we need more blue players in Pvp to help balance the scales because as it stands it's just one blue group taking a defending keeps and if we spread out to be tactical and take or defend several objectives at once we will be zergerd down every time.

Until the population increases I will be on the NA server! See your soon!
