Low pop bonus

I don't agree with this even being a thing but kinda understand why it exists BUT should ONLY be accessible for 3rd place campaign point holder. I've seen the 2nd place teams multiple times strategically clear out for a few hours gaining 350-400 points each hour during peak hours going 1000 points over 3 hours then coming back in to night cap. In my opinion this is an exploit. So keep low pop bonus to 3rd place only

kmarieSoul ShrivenYes, and I have seen ep log off 3 hours before the end of the campaign to move from 3rd to 1st in the last hour to win the campaign
..so yeah get rid of it.1 -

✭✭✭I'm on the fence, it can be really hard to catch up even just from second place if the #1 faction is legitimately steamrolling. The problem is when that isn't what is happening. Evidence was posted here a couple days ago of a certain second place faction in a certain campaign abusing the current low-pop bug (allegedly fixed in High Isle) to catch up in score. The post was removed for "naming and shaming". This might be a good issue to revisit after the bug with the system is fixed.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭i like the low pop for the double AP bonus, i honestly could care less about the campaign scores
it did always seem completely random when it would activate though, so hopefully that will be fixed in the next major updateplays PC/NA

feel free to stop by and use the facilities1 -
Cuddlypuff✭✭✭✭Who even cares about double scoring? Everyone should have permanent 2x AP since Cyrodiil is forever low pop and PVP is dead.4 -

Feaky✭✭✭In fact, you now have the opposite problem. Queue times are insane. 1 hour last night, been queued up an hour tonight and still counting (and it has not moved in the past 20 min). Earlier in the week, I queued for almost an hour then DC'd an hour later. Couldn't go through another hour long queue so watched Netflix instead.
ZOS - its time to scale the population limits back to where they were a year ago. Honestly, with lag, you could at least play (although less than optimal). So we traded lag for long queues. Not sure which I prefer as of yet.0 -

Pop locked but still pretty much dead most of the time. Just a flurry of PvDoor every now and then. Back on topic though - Low pop is simply not enough of an inventive for anybody to join campaigns other than GH unless it's during MYM and you can get lucky and hit 1M AP in an hour. I think all AP bonuses should be scrapped, and base AP needs to be tuned so that people looking to optimize AP gain can earn the equivalent of 500K gold/hr, and casual players up to 200K gold/hr, in order to match other gold farms.0
