Introducing No-Proc into a campaign is a bad solution to the wrong problem. The dev focus should be on reducing lag and ensuring smooth game-play regardless of campaign.
The server/programming can't handle Gray Host at current population for current builds and add-ons when ball groups play and current population limits create unbearable queue times during prime-time play time.
A starting point is to re-balance server populations. ESO desperately needs more faction locked campaigns. Three faction locked campaigns would be ideal but a starting point would be to make at least one other campaign besides Gray Host Faction Locked.
An interesting test experiment would be to disable all add-ons in Gray Host as many speculate that add-ons are resulting in the majority of lag issues. (Even better would be to isolate the most offensive add-ons and disable the problem at the source - ie. create a global cool-down for add-on server pings in PVP zones).
Clearly, there is abundant interest in preserving a No-CP campaign but the players of No-CP should not be forced into a No-Proc environment. If devs are insistent on introducing No-Proc for the benefit of new players, create a separate campaign - the new equivalent of a <50 campaign. My advice - Faction Lock Blackreach, Keep Ravenwatch No-CP, and test full removal of add-ons in Gray Host with double AP bonus for a set time period. No-Proc isn't the answer to the right question.
If the devs are heart-set on Ravenwatch No-Proc, No-CP, do everyone a favor and at least faction lock it. That might at least limit the initial exodus.

And yes, before anyone asks, HOTP continues to recruit high-quality members who love high-level PVP and PVE game-play.
Good for you. I am not enjoying it at all and my guild has moved to Blackwood which I like even less. All the CP makes people stupid with sustain and the sets are out of contriol. I like the multitude of sets but without the CP to make it ridiculous.

To speak plainly, a number of EP guilds vanished out of Ravenswatch one or two campaigns ago when that faction no longer logged in to EMP and all 6 scrolls at the start of prime time as they had for like almost 2 years solid. To be blunt, most EP and DC guilds just don't know what to do with themselves when they aren't 20k points in the lead by day 5. While one may sympathize, it is what it is. Also, EP bullying its largest pug guild out of the game didn't help matters either. But those are both social reasons apart from any alteration in sets and that's what has accounted for EP's extremely low numbers for the last 3 campaigns.
