PC must be way more honorable than console @Joy_Division ... somebody on DC hopped on an AD character and put up the max number of camps so that AD couldn't put any up at keeps that were being attacked. EP did the same thing about an hour later. Used to happen pretty regularly, haven't noticed it recently until yesterday.
Thanks for explaining the picture... if that doesn't obliterate the anti-faction lock argument, then those people clearly won't ever get it.somebody on DC hopped on an AD character and put up the max number of camps so that AD couldn't put any up at keeps that were being attacked.

That's a good thought, but because there are so many ways in which this is a detriment, but only one single way in which it is a benefit, banning it outright is the better approach.Wouldn't it just point to the fact that there need to be better checks to prevent griefing, instead of just locking people into playing only X faction on Y campaign?
Sorry, no time to rest. That describes me perfectly, and I will be too busy playing to rest.RIP to anyone who likes no CP and has characters on multiple factions a la One Tamriel.
No we have the mental flexibility to understand that there are no sides when everyone plays for all of them.

LOL, no. That's not what it means, it means my reds can play for red, my blues can play for blue, without cheating/trolling/sabotaging. My characters have sides (and fight furiously for them).
Maybe it would help if I said it's kind of like how I can play a female character despite not being in possession of any female body parts myself.
They CAN, but they DON'T. This is the problem: when your reds play for red, and your blues play for red, and your yellows play for red. This is why faction lock needs to exist. Some people are ruining it for the rest of you.LOL, no. That's not what it means, it means my reds can play for red, my blues can play for blue, without cheating/trolling/sabotaging.

No, people who swap factions don't fight for any sides they fight for themselves, its all about them and they don't care who wins because they always win on one character or another, regardless of their anatomical make up. When you fight furiously for a faction, and 5 minutes later fight furiously against them, your not really fighting for them at all, its just for you and your close knit group of other furiously fighting faction swappers.

Everything isn’t so black and white. People can have multiple reasons to play for other factions. Just because they don’t coincide with your faction loyalist mindset doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

Spot on, AND just because you don't cheat when you faction hop doesn't mean cheating is not possible..
Both sides of this debate are right, and wrong. It's not black and white as you say - hence ZOS nailing it by giving choice.

Honestly though the cheating is few and far between in my experiences on both ps4 and pc after having played the game for 5 years. For instance I dunked a scroll like 5 months ago, a faction loyal guild still hasn’t forgot.
I would say people remember the occurrence and won’t let it go for longer. No matter what. Sad part is the camp had 3 days left and said faction was behind 20k points or so rendering the scroll useless as they were mathematically not going to overcome the deficit.

almost every day multiple times a day is few and far between? Good, good. Now we know that daily cheating is rare cheating. Good to know.

You’re still fighting for the alliance that you’re currently playing regardless of the wordplay you’re trying to use. If I help dethrone someone while on dc that’s me helping dc. Playing for yourself is when you don’t play any objective at all and choose action over anything.

But they don’t. There is no 2nd noCP campaign without lock.

I couldn't have worded it better myself.
Let's all take a moment to remember faction lock has existed in ESO before, and it was taken down after the playerbase protested. Must we really do that again?
My organized PvP guild consists of EP, DC and AD mains. If faction lock gets to live, this might be the end of the guild, or any fun playing with it, since we will have to play on dead campaigns.
