Faction locking is meant to prevent faction hopping (playing on the winning faction, and when that faction inevitably starts losing, jump over to the new winning faction).
I dont see any reason for "spying" tactics in cyro are limited and prdictable. Just need to know how to read the map.
- Without faction lock :
"X" is a spy.
He 's EP and wants to spy DC.
He has a DC char, logs in and joins a LFG group in cyrodiil.
Now he knows everything and follows the group, telling everyting in vocal/text chat to their EP guildmates the other side- With Faction lock :
"X" is AD and wants to spy EP.
He has a friend in AD named "Y". "Y" doesnt care about war, he only wants to get AP and fights, and can't no longer play with his friend "X"...
"Y" will say everything to his friend "X" in vocal/text chat.
So, guys, please stop with "spies".

Simple way to fix it rly. Just like other games have disabled between teams chat, same could be done in eso Cyro PvP.
So you will be able to talk only to ppl that are in the same zone as you (Cyrodiil) and are the same faction as yours.
If some one who is in other zone than cyro will try to whisper / message you, he/she will be also blocked.
Faction locking isn't meant to prevent spying, as you've pointed out, there's nothing stopping someone from spying, especially if they have a second account.
Faction locking is meant to prevent faction hopping (playing on the winning faction, and when that faction inevitably starts losing, jump over to the new winning faction), keep flipping (AP farming), scroll flipping/trolling, and emp feeding (if a faction wants a particular person to be emp, they all log onto an opposing faction and let themselves be farmed by that person to push their leaderboard ranking up).

this is the point of faction lock.I dont see any reason for "spying" tactics in cyro are limited and prdictable. Just need to know how to read the map.
Ye but for some people, cyrodiil is full of spies you know.
Paranoïa, maybe because they're spies themselves and believe everyone is doing like them -_-

This is typical of the faction-flopper mentality - "Can't win, don't try". First of all, if you think buying the game again and creating a new account is "just as easy" as using an alternate character on your main account, then you are not well and should seek help.kpittsniperb14_ESO wrote: »The faction hopping to the winning side can be done just as easily with a second account so, in reality, faction locking prevents nothing.
