I know this is a hard decision to make because you earn lots of cash selling alliance change tokens. But this is better for the game.

Because right now you are fine if you look for cyro/IC guilds of your alliance. The problem arises when you have casual guild which does everything, including progression trials and PvP.

When you try to lead PvP in such a guild, lots of guildmates will have PvP character.. but in other faction. And I'd say roughly 50% players don't join because of that.s
Think of it. Players have what it has to PvP, they are willing to PvP, but don't run the content just because of this system.

So, what should be done: every character have no faction until they sign up for a faction at any campaign. Faction erases at the end of campaign.
And you can even leave faction change tokens in the store, for those who want to switch mid campaign.

    Here's some hard truth. One Tamrial did wonders for PvE and prolly saved the game.

    However Cyrodiil is an objective based pvp world by design. Alliance hopping causes a lot of problems in BR and Raven. The leaderboard humpers troll and grief anyone who threatens their AP farm, even at a detriment to the campaign. You get yelled at for trying to take even one scroll back because it kills the AP buff.

    I'm okay with alliance tokens because it costs $. People don't do it willy nilly. But being able to just switch to differently aligned characters to boost on the low pop alliance shouldn't be allowed.

    To clarify: I don't even care about cyro and it's objectives. I can't run IC with the whole guild participating and it bothers me.

    What pve quests tied to alliance? You've been able to swap between them freely in PvE ever since One Tamriel.
