Keep Auto-Flips: Can players influence?

[companyslacker]

I've been told that if we spend like 5 minutes in a keep when we visit one that it will prevent the keep from flipping. However this doesn't seem correct as I have done this on several occasions only to have the keeps flip shortly after leaving. So I put it to you - is there anything a player can do to prevent a keep from auto-flipping short of staying in the keep?

Besides leaving someone there as an anchor, I can't recall seeing or hearing of other ways to stop it from auto-flipping.

The mechanic is broken, should be fixed. If anything, they should be like the OP's and flip to DoF control, if they need to flip at all.

Leave a freaver in the keep. When somebody tries to kill it, run through the back door.

To be honest Auto flips should be removed. I see it this way if you want the keep or OP your side should take it not to be given to you. kinda makes questing rather difficult to obtain renown. and from what i have seen it tends to flip more to freep side then creeps. me and some friends taken TR with in 5 mins it fliped to freep side. so we loged on freep and retaken it. it stayed on freep side for 3 hours. so yes they need to be removed.

I think they should change it so it only auto flips if one side is out numbered and being dominated. add like a raid of elite arch nemesis of NPCs that aid the losing side by roaming around with OP heals and DPS lol

I like the idea of allowing the keeps to flip to DoF control, put me down as /signed for that one. I also believe that this ought to occur at strict time limits, lets say after six hours from previous flip, be it having been from one side or the other (obviously).

Once again good idea, hope it goes somewhere.
