War of the pansies.

So right now EP is in Thorn, DC is in Chillrend and AD is in Haderus. This is really sad that all three factions won't fight each other instead they have split up in 3 different campaigns so they can farm small groups of players. I have a few solutions that might work depending on how they are implemented.
1. You could hold a weekly war on each Cyrodiil that only the top 300 players from each faction can participate in. For example lets say 20 minutes prior to the war event you queue for the "war" and if you are within the top 300 scoring players then you get in the war when it starts. Naturally if you are ranked 412 and no one is there to fill the spot then you are selected. Let the war have nice rewards ect ect. Make it so if the war isn't pop locked on all sides the war would be carried over or something of that nature.
2. You could pool all of cyrodiil together so people who queue automatically go into a campaign until that campaign fills up then the next one begins to fill up. This could also work well with the first idea if you were willing to get rid of all the cyrodiil maps.
3. I wouldn't suggest getting rid of the non veteran cyrodiil maybe force people to enter it when they queue and are below v1. Could also put all of v1-12 on the same map. Anyways there's a few ideas I tossed up hoping it will help fix something.
4. A lot of people believe that simply getting rid of the score could fix everything.

You must not have played much the last couple days. Maybe you should before you make QQ posts like this.
Last night Azura's Star was pop locked for all alliances. Great fights and lots of fun. Thornblade was pop locked for EP and AD and high pop for DC.
What has happened is now we have 2 populated servers to choose from, and that is a good thing. EP that want it easy and just want to farm are playing on Thorn, and EP that want good fights are playing Azura's Star.
I actually havent had as much fun in AvA as I had last night in Azura's Star and I'm EP.
War of the pansies?
There's alot I want say right now but I would be mega banned...
Yes during peak hours pop locked is the only choice. But the main force is like I described. However Thorn was not pop locked last night DC never went above 1 bar population. Right now instead of fighting each other they are spread out exactly as I described. Instead of having good fights they have all went to their own corner to be overpowering.
Thorn definitely did have DC at high at one point last night when I checked. And im in game right now and Azura has an even pop all alliances at medium which is great.
What is the problem? Right now Azura has dead even population between all the alliances and great fights are happening. Do you need to follow a giant zerg to play?
If you need to hide behind a zerg to play it's your own personal problem.
JUST MAKE IT SO YOU CAN'T SWITCH CAMPAIGNS WILLY NILLY.
Jesus christ such a fundamental design disaster.
Edit: Oh misread that. I don't see the problem. Right now its an even population on Azura and probably the most fun fights I've had in AvA since I started playing again a few months ago.
He said make it to were you CAN'T switch campaigns. I also agree with him that it's bad design. It's probably at least part of the problem that's causing wonky campaign imbalances.

Lol are you serious or trolling? I've never seen a keycloned EP group and I roll with EP every night. I also highly doubt anyone is spending their time taking up AD slots with alts. As en EP in a coordinated guild on thorn there has been no competition at all. We just roll everything. Nobody needs a troll alt to make it any easier. Most of us are bored and thats why I'm playing on Azura now.
If you want to know why AD has problems in AvA it's how many nightblades you have in your groups. They are great at ganking but bad in coordinated groups. I use to roll on AD with my first character but had to switch because of how many useless nightblades there were.
Sad part is the last month in thorn was actually close battle. For some reason DC just cant get their act together though. I remember several times where EP owned 0 keeps then when the month was over it was the mass exodus of AD and DC from Thorn to their own corner to do their own thing alone against no one. Last night in Chillrend I had a laggy fight with a 4v1 battle. I never saw that in Thorn so the lag excuse is really no excuse at all. I think it boils down to they are tired of losing so they just went somewhere else instead. Lots of people think that getting rid of the score would help but they need to do something to fix the imbalances and allowing players to balance themselves just will not happen.
Yep. Putting a general insult to everyone in the title is not a good way to have players want to support your ideas.

The thread title and posts are rather inflammatory, even if the subject of imbalance is a real game issue. Locking this.
If someone really wants to discuss the imbalance without the namecalling, that can be addressed in another thread.
