Because you destroy whole purpose of capturing scrolls. It is dirty tactic used by idiots to buff their own alliance, without going to trouble of capturing the keep and then taking scroll on long route to your alliance safe territory.
Just grab a scroll, take it half the map to your buddies, and there is nothing your whole alliance can do about it.
Imho for a purpose of ban it should be viewed as "toxic behavior" or "exploiting"Edited by bitels on January 15, 2019 5:07PM7 -

That's not necessarily true. I've watched a DC player hop onto an EP character and help another DC player gap-close through both doors, into the keep, and take a DC scroll from an un-flagged EP back-keep. The DC player then allows themselves to be killed by the EP player, the EP player picks up the dropped scroll, and runs it all the way home to DC territory with impunity.FilteredRiddle wrote: »There are certain people who do this all the time.

That's an exploit, and is most certainly against the rules. It was reported by many players along with video evidence. I still see these players in PvP. This is one of the reasons I don't play ESO as much any more.ZOS_JessicaFolsom wrote: »To summarize, if you are using abilities such as gap closers to do things that are not within the realm of intended design and/or bypassing core game mechanics, such as entering keeps without downing doors and/or walls and getting under the environment (ground, water, etc.), you are exploiting. In short: don’t do it. If we catch you exploiting and/or cheating, even once, it is grounds for disciplinary action up to and including a permanent ban of your game account.

This is without a doubt against the spirit of the game and falls under exploiting.
This is yet another good reason campaigns should be locked to a single alliance for an entire account. It wouldn't prevent this but would greatly reduce it.
It also would not be hard to add a vector check (direction) to scroll holders to ensure their overall direction is towards their alliance's holdings and not away.PC NA @Ertosi♠♦ My Team ♥♣

No, you cant. Process of getting scroll is smth that can take long hours or whole day, of coordinated effort. It is quite nice buff to stats and points, and becouse of that it was design as being hard to get.Im sure that u can get that scroll a 30mins later.
So unless you are night caping, it will not take 30min

Alts of other alliances could still play in other campaigns, but a single campaign should be account locked to one alliance for its entire duration. Doing so is the only way to remove the conflict of interest of a single player being able to play multiple sides of the same campaign.
The best way of doing so would be a minor rework of the Alliance War menu so that you don't sign up via character but rather by Alliance. For example, for the duration of a campaign you could sign up as Pact for Vivec, Dominion for Sotha Sil, and DC for Shor, or any other combination.
People love being able to flip sides at will, as things are set up now, but it's apparent that's too much freedom and too many are taking advantage of it with issues like this "insiding" scrolls and changing alliances just to join the winning team.

✭✭It’s definitely a d-bag thing to do, but it’s not exploiting or against any TOS. According to the zos employee quoted above, an exploit bypasses game mechanics or is against intended design. Zos haven’t said returning scrolls to another faction is against intended design. If they do, sure- it’s bannable then.

So if you have more than 3 alts you are screwed? Sorry, no - incredibly bad idea. I get you are upset re: the issue, and I even agree the taking of own scroll is at the last cheesy and perhaps an exploit - but I draw the line at a few bad apples making a massive change justified that would prevent the large majority of my 15 chars from being able to play pvp when I want.
Some months I play a lot, some barely any - but I have the freedom to make that choice and what char of my 15 I decide to play that idea. Your idea would massively restrict my option of choice as well as a huge chunk of players for the sake of a few bad apples.
Punish the transgressors, not the rest of us normal players. You want them banned, fine, I'll support the idea in a poll. But heck no with restricting my freedom of choice.0 -

✭✭Uhm... How many of these players do you think have multiple accounts? Faction locked account doesn't do much.
If someone wants to be a *** then they will just be a ***...
Tagging a character as a traitor could be a fun mechanic though. Only if there is a way for that not to get abused though.
Maybe if there was a requirement for someone to be in a group of 4 or more in order to get the scroll and if they left the group or were kicked from it then they would drop the scroll.

I did read it. You apparently don't see or are pretending like there is no massive downside.
The proposed solution either massively restricts my choice to which chars I play OR forces me to turn my AD, DC, and EP chars into some generic 'quasi-AD or EP or DC char'.
You don't seem to get the concept that I like the faction concept and consider my chars as separate entities with their own faction identity. The proposed solution would either have me just not play 2/3 of my char roster (5 DC, 5 EP, and 5 AD chars) or force me to represent my EP and AD chars as "DC" for purposes of registering them per OP's plan.
To repeat - ALL this, massive inconvenience and change due to whatever number of bad apples are doing these shenanigans the OP talked about. You want to fix that? Punish the transgressors if indeed it is an exploit - I'm not clear whether it is but not taking firm stance it isnt. What I AM strongly opposed to is taking away my freedom of choice on what and how I play my faction characters with this draconian campaign lock plan.0 -
Pink_E_808✭✭✭✭I've seen someone in my faction take one from one of the AD temples and run it all the way up the map to their red friends. As frustrating as it is, there will always be someone playing both sides.
