Renown Zone Lock Exploits

Of course this can only happen on Dark Crag since our population can support these kind of behaviors. It is probably a good thing for Destruction because if these people actually added to our ranks out in the RvR lakes they would really want to ragequit.

I think somehow something needs to be implemented to prevent this by Mythic. I say you only get the tick if you contributed in a keep, objective take/defense, or you earned renown prior to the zone lock in the zone to earn the bonus sort of similar how contribution works for a fort defense. This could backfire also because than the opposite side might just avoid a zone to keep the other side from getting the bonus, but it also might fix the alarm clock zone locks in the middle of the night also.
