Campaign Lock Cyrodiil to an Account's Primary Alliance (Not by Character)

Cyrodiil is being ruined by people using Alt characters to probe other alliances. Here are examples of what I've experienced in spiked numbers lately;
-People from another alliances sign onto an alt character to trash talk in our Zone chat or make fake callouts.
-People are using their alts to literally spy on the other alliances to figure out where people are moving (I don't drop Forward Camps anymore because the Alt. spies from other alliances communicate it back to their buddies about which keeps we're about to hit)
-Two weeks ago a player whose home campaign is with alliance "X" literally logged onto his alt, grabbed our alliance's scroll and ran it back to alliance "X"'s temple to dropit for his buddy to pick up - THE ULTIMATE SIN of gameplay.
Nothing ruins a game more than when a game is "fixed" - there has to be a lock down on this asap.
If someone sets their home campaign with a character on alliance "X", they should not be able to enter that campaign with ANY character on their account who is not on alliance "X" - for the entirety of the campaign.
Put alliance "X" to be fair because every alliance has people who do this - ultimately nobody respects or wants this though. People try to validate it with the "well they did it, so it's only fair that we do it too"..... what it's doing is driving people to other games entirely.
Fix this please.

Faiza✭✭✭✭✭Unfortunately, while I empathize with you, I don't think this will happen for the simply reason that many players purchase any race any faction, and faction swap tokens just to play Cyrodiil however they wish.
And honestly having to make another account just to change factions even sounds awful lol.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭No.
We've already got an Alliance-locked CP campaign where you see less of those behaviors (its impossible to stop 100% of trolling.)
So no.
Seriously, I'm an EP loyalist. 9 of my 11 characters are EP. But under your suggestion, if I ever wanted to play my DC or AD character in Cyrodiil on a different campaign for skyshards, skill lines, events, helping a friend level, etc., I'd have to give up playing EP for a month. Or buy faction swap tokens, and no, I'm not spending crowns for your idea.
Just no.
Give us the option for Alliance-locked and non-locked and let players figure out which they prefer.Edited by VaranisArano on November 17, 2020 7:29PM1 -
Eweejy✭@Varanis then they might as well scratch that entire server because that campaign is ruined.
If you want to change/flip flop alliances then don't set a home alliance - simple as that. Then they can spy/flip flop all they want but they don't reap the benefits of a home campaign when payday comes.
Once you assign a home campaign though you MUST be alliance locked. It's the wild west out there - I'm literally watching some guy right now trolling our Zone chat with trash talk.0 -

Which server/campaign?
I've been assuming No-CP, because otherwise I'd say, "Come on over to the Alliance-locked CP campaign."
In which case a far less invasive change is to bring back the Alliance-locked No-CP campaign as an option, similar to how CP PVPers have the choice as to whether they prefer alliance-locked or the behaviors that are more prevalent in the non-locked campaigns.
But its always good to be specific telling us to scratch an entire server.1
