No one has the gumption to hold a GvG territory from a guild with 250 members who poopsock all day and feed resources into 5 people. This is the single dumbest fucken mechanic in any MMO to date hands down. The devs continue to defend this mindset as a system that's fair for guilds of 10 to hold territory thus proving they don't even play their own game.. this is a dumpster fire.

Your solution is join my cool alliance and live in black so we can outnumber people 200 to 20. Aka living in black cities. The rate at which you lose gear and the length of time it takes to craft it, is substantially skewed. Thus unless you are almost always victorious in pvp you will slowly lose resources in a black city until you have nothing left. Most goons aren't the hardened pvp heros they think they are and we learned this over the past 14 betas that there are maybe 5 of us who can hack this.

you speak from ignorance my friend.

any medium size guild could keep 100 goon-tier shitbirds in all the free 5.2 gear they wanted to suicide with little to no effort. gear is very not hard to come by.

also why are you worried about outnumbering people more than you're worried about being able to get 20 guys together to do something? bc how long has it been since goons did that

Except no person wants to waste their entire day farming so others can just lose gear for no reason. This is why no one would have goons when there were 20+ of us, and why this will never happen.

except nobody has to devote any extra time to it. that's not how it works. you should try experiencing being in a guild that isn't run by yourself.

i easily firesold or donated thousands of 5.2 mats just from farming them for the fame to be able to get to higher tiers, and i wasn't exactly a dedicated gatherer.

you're really just convinced that the way you wanna play the game is the only way the game can be played. oatmeal made a mint from market manipulation. i made a mint from selling gathered materials. i could easily have never gathered once and been completely self-sufficient off selling pvp loot. i could easily have supported 10 casual goon types by myself in full 5.2 gear without even noticing it was missing.

gathering your own resources and crafting your own gear is not the only way this game can be played no matter how hard it gets your dick to be totally self-sufficient.

I joined kds this last beta and it was awful. They had 2 guild vs guild teams and they had tryouts to join but it was pretty much a circle jerk for the officers as even if you did better than the person currently on the team they chose them because "experience". Anyways they should make more pleb content as camping zones so your 5 superstars can arrive to do the meaningful PvP isn't exactly fun.

I remember when I would see Rook in BB last beta. You would see him in the fully obvious im baiting setup with the flail. He would wonder around and act like he was engaging. As soon as he could get a root off or someone was dumb enough to attack him at the edge of town.. 40-60 MH cockroaches would come out the woodwork.

it might suck but we're planning on camping the routes from red zones to the black cities. we're gonna go to whichever city has the higher pop. if poo poo sucks we're gonna go back to red, take a gvg territory for the respawn point, and then pvp from there with complete disregard for our infamy.

So far AO is a game about what not to do as Devs. I'm rather sure green knight is somewhere writing a book to chronicle this.

It's not the game I was hoping it would be and it's not the game I thought it would be. Basically the devs changed directions on every aspect of the game except the one that really mattered which was the gvg system.

Yeah, in light of that I wish it were possible to get a refund. But early access is early access. :shrug:
I mean there is a game failing, and then there is advertising an early access concept that becomes something exactly not like that.

Do those races even exist in the wild as mobs at this point?
