Straef said:That was exactly my point to begin with? By adding you spoil my fun, and I've been pretty clear about that. It's not like I'm the only possible person to add on, so by adding on someone else, you could enjoy yourself and let me be at the same time, so I can try have a good run.
I don't run an opted group myself, in fact, I never have. Last time I actually ran with a fixed group was back in Avalanche, about 1.5 years ago. I've only ran in pug's since. The thing I like about fg-fg fights against opted groups while playing in a pug myself, is sometimes managing to beat decent groups in fg-fg fights, while having a challenging fight.
Well, I do usually have higher realm-rank people in it, probably, aswell for trying to get the right classes. I do, however, run with different people/setups every day, and don't perform as well as a sg/gg could, unfortunately. I still don't stand a chance against Maelstrom/Legacy/Eclipse and whatever tho, but what can I do ;x Can't expect to beat rr11 sg's with a pug, I guessAlaron said:Straef, read my follow-up post as well. I think we might have a misunderstanding here, as I'm under the impression that you run in opted groups most of the time. That is, I value your group higher than mine on the food chain list.
Lol. Just tell em I made it up ;pMikah75 said:lol now edit yours its in the quote!

Bubble said:You should reroll Alb Prydwen![]()
daoc_xianghua said:i see your point but it has its flaws
usually from the pov of an opted group you have about 2-3 clean fights on a good evening (on zergy evenings you sometimes dont even have 1 clean fight in the entire evening) now if you give -1 happyness to the opted group for every fight they get added on you end up at something like -10 or more at the end of the evening.
meanwhile the zerg is at about +20 happyness cuz they added/zerged everything tonight
as i said before ofc its not 100% fair but randoms can just start to play the game serious if they get tired of beeing farmed 24/7 by the good gg´s
what can the good gg´s do vs the zergs? run 2fg´s? yes would be an option but most ppl in opted groups joined the guild for exact that reason cuz they dont want to run in more than 1fg. 2nd option is log for the night, which will most likely happen after they have been zerged enuff.
I, just like you mentioned, usually have a hard time making a semi-decent pug, but it's usually worth it, if we do any good.Alaron said:Sorry, you're right, I missed your post (getting a little hectic with many people posting at about the same time).
Thing is, trying to form balanced groups all the time can be very frustrating (due to not being able to find the right people/classes). I rather head out with a few guildies and friends and see what we can find in our frontier. I believe that when people stop making such a fuss about getting the occasional adds and accept that it's part of the game, then it will really lighten up the atmosphere and improve our realm over time.
p.s.: my example isn't as hypothetical as you think. It happens nearly every day. Fun can only be measured over a longer period of time, involving multiple events. That's why I didn't isolate it to the single event of being added on or not.
It's been a nicer discussion on fh than ingame, as I really coultn't be bothered when your guildies started replying aswell, being subjective and all.Alaron said:And before you start repeating yourself again Straef, let me apologize for having been a bit snappy on /as. I appreciate having this discussion and I think it's a good idea to see it from someone else's perspective.
daoc_xianghua said:In other words opted grps destroy fun for the randoms cuz they are so high RR (comes with effort) have 6-10 artis in template. (also comes with effort)
and randoms have all the rights to whine/add/zerg them cuz they are sooo evul.
Guess I'm random then, being so-so rr and only having 5 arti's :<Graendel said:In other words Alaron's not a random since he's got high RR as well as 6-10 artis in template.

This group will get rolled over whenever they meet one of the opted hib/mid groups. The only way they will have some fun if they get the chance to fight alongside an opted alb group. Do you want to take away the fun from them by pulling out or asking them not to add?

<cough> he's allll mine! :worthy:AngeLujo said:such whiney bitches....
anyways grats to the bestest wizi of dhoom, hope to BG you soon tbh... :X
Straef said:So, basicly, albs aren't as inteligent as people playing other realms? :x
Mikah75 said:sorry i must of.

boppas said:Well said tbh,
& now im gunna say a few words of my own that im sure will please some
Problem is some (& i mean some) of these *opted* grps dont give a f00k about other realm mates in rvr, All they seem to care about (no matter what bullsh*t excuse they use) is RP & there e-peen.
Our guild has started to run a decent group again, & if we get added on by other hiblets, big fuckin deal, do i whine at em, spit my dummy out etc etc.. For those that curse others for realm mates adding, it will always happen (even more so wit cluster in normal rvr zones) so imo f00k off to CS or summit where the servers are for 8v8.
Its RvR, NOT grp V grp.
Fair enough if another grp followed you everywhere ya went to add, then yes this would annoy me. But if your in areas wheres theres other FG's/mini grps/random grps whatever, expect to be added on.
Fed up of all the "L337" kidz QQ'n when they get added on tbh

daoc_xianghua said:..i guess its the randoms who will have no more fun soon.
Hello, clueless? Hib/Excal is nearly bereft of fixed and opted groups, I believe it is only a select few RvR guilds who are still active. Hib/Prydwen, on the other hand, is already filled with groups, or has the fact that Hibs outnumber the other realms in Prydwen RvR escaped you? I personally believe that clustering will be an infusion for Hib/Excal, not Hib/Prydwen.daoc_xianghua said:excal/hib is not the same as prydwen/hib there are LOTS of opted groups who will flame you to hell and back everytime you add on them.
with cluster numbers of opted fg´s will dramatically increase in cluster atleast for hib, so i guess its the randoms who will have no more fun soon.
Tuorin said:Funny thing really. If people are whining about Alaron getting rr10 or lots of realm points, they can actually control some of that.
They can stop going to the main place he is at, the bridge. Have seen him a couple of times near ruins with bot and caster army or zerg but apart from that, thats Alarons daoc.
I think he wont get many realm points come cluster, as the there will be more of an alb zerg and less visits anywhere near bridges by most. If people do go t will just be zerg vs zerg and hence no duoers or trioers he can zap alone from range.
