Also finding this quite frustrating, i try my best not to attack the soloer's when i lead a grp, but i always find that if my grp engages multiple enemies the person that i left has now caught up and added on my grp's fight. Should i kill the soloer's and face the whine .. or leave the soloer's and face the adds .. Lose/Lose situation.

I think people add because they want a title, maybe? I don't see the benefit of RPs in thid, Aug str/dex/etc II or whatever doesn't make that much of a difference, or purely the fun of killing, or for ePeen reasons (deathblows etc)

its just each to their own i guess, some ppl like to get involved in every fight they see and enjoy playing that way. others get their enjoyment from duels etc. its a question of quality or quantity really and if everybody was all the same it would probably be very boring and there'd be nothing to talk about.

i totally understand the point about groups who dont attack a soloer and getting kinda annoyed when that same guy comes and ''stabs them in the back'' as it were. but in my opinion steamrolling a soloer isn't quite the same as that soloer ''adding'' on a fight involving that group. doesn't it add abit of variation and a challenge when a stealther pops mid fight? but i suppose it happens in most fights with the large number of stealthers about... a tricky one.

i can only speak from personal experience and the EV guys Elkie, Riddz, Hamro n co always left my infil alone so im fairly sure they didnt mind me jumping in now and again in certain situations (i took a shine to ridz when he was on his bard :worthy: ) - mostly because they then preceded to kick my ass aswell :p

makes a change to see a good topic btw :clap: keep the replies coming

Nothing personal yet everyone who counts themselves leet on these forums say they dont kill soloers in their fg yet every group I meet solo kills me (If I dont mez them first ;P) - never found a group that didnt - so something dont add up...

people add because 1) don't have a buffbot, 2) are newbies, 3) want title, 4) don't have the 1337 skillz that are needed in thid right now.. or you're the one who get zerged, 5) they're lame ;p

adding cause after spending hours running around solo looking for a fight or just something other then a mob to kill getting quite frustrating running around that long just to be gang raped by 1 FG after another and then finaly se a fight that you might have a 5% chance of getting 1 rp closer to RR12, well then adding is kinda only way ahead.

I add all the time and love killing soloers ... when solo ofc !

Nothing like adding on the alb zerg on mid-bridge and soaking up that n00b /level lifetap while killing 1 or 2 :D

to be honest....is there many grps leaving soloers be in thid or real rvr?
not afaik...I got more experience beeing steamrolled by a fg and /ruded rather than be left alone....thats why i play my ranger in thid so i can avoid fg´s by my own choice instead (or go nuts and attack a fg which i do occasionally=P)

regarding add or not add, I do what comes in mind atm 1 vs 1 I normally let be but if its like a warrior vs a druid....well thats not 1 vs 1 imo...thats a easy kill for the warrior, then i would probably help the druid out.
many ppl asume scout,rangers,hunters to be just there for adding etc..and I have added a few times too but i dont mind beeing added myself either (trying to play with my own "rules").
Regarding rudespam and laugh etc....its just lame imo but if thats what makes people that does it feel good about themself, so be it.
I personally never spam any emote more than maybe /wave and often /military =)

My thidranki ranger is "Kvistfritt Kvastskaft" btw =)

The fact is that wen u run out of Mpk u now there area load of peeps out there who are going to try and gank u solo or not,

i must say wen playin my SB i get very annoyed wen i get added on, i had a few good duels over the weekend, but mostly it was just constant addage, now i dont mind if i get ganked while trying to take out a caster, because i have a serious advantage, but wen i am fighting a fully done up tank i think i should be left gif it a go.... tbh thid aint gonna change, its always gonna be a zerg fest with /lvl20`s aka cannon fodder and tbh ganking them is fun.....

one last thing, i would just like to say in the spirit of the ganking solo`ers statement.. it is reasonable to gank one if they add ofc but.. like i was by our most courageous zerging albs.... chased half way around thid as a Sb by 5 people...this is just sad... soz for the QQ

I must admin if I spot a stealther on a bridge I will kill, regardless of I am grouped or not.
Most if not all stealthers in Thid have/do kill casters on bridges. Pretty annoying in a small group you suddenly notice you are 1 man short because he got 1 shot by a PA.
If you could allways be sure they did not, then I would proly leave them alone, but you cant so...
Visibles is another thing, Tanks I leave alone if grouped and /Beckon if running my reaver solo. Casters you pretty much kill on sight.

Also ppl forget that not everyone in Thid run with a lvl 24 templated capped rps toon, most are just passing by to get a few rps for some skills, trying their new class in some fighting and then move on. You cant really expect them to live up to the perma lvl 24 players high morals.
Remember if you PA kill the same person enough times he will at some point come back with friends and kill you. Bear that in mind. :)

Also having the discussion here is also pointless, since 80% of the groups ganking anything in sight dont read FH. ;)

Find the whole argument about adding very annoying.

If you are a healer and see a duel where your realm mate is definitely going to lose do you heal? If you do, chances are they will yell at you, if you don't....chances are they'll yell at you.

Same for combat adding, should you add to help save a realm mate or just sit and watch them die?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

its a realm vs realm game not a 1 vs 1 game for me, I wont think twice about killing a soloers, regardless. Many a time in a group playing squishies i get targeted by the soloers (fire wizard, minimal defence/cc = easiest target for stealthers) and nothing's ever thought of it, so i cant see why i should think twice killing the soloist, it is war in at the end of the day.

I dunno maybe i search for some of the RPG aspects the game, i aint into this idea that, i am the best or even want to be the best in the BG's, thats kinda pointless in my opinion (Reminds me too much of street fighter and later tekken i spent many a hour on, after school/street fighter and later pissed with mates sitting around kicking each others asses uptill 2am on tekken), however i do enjoy a good battle, i do enjoy taking part in the unfolding keep seige, how the battle starts at one tower, when that falls the enemy falls back to the CK, how you seige the walls while still holding ground at the seige equiptment, working together looking out for each other, fighting off the enemy, making the hole in the wall, all advancing, taking more ground than trying to use different tactics to get into a well defended keep. than the final satisfaction of taking the CK.

Solo or in a group regardless, your just a part of the apposing forces for me, but thats just me and why i kill the soloist, in my view rather them than me.
I'm more interested in whats happening in the bigger battle than to bother with keeping an eye on who's soloing, solo dueling or even just standing their picking there nose.

kk i see ur point....altho i still do stuff like that .. i leave solo'ers alone, as much as possible (sumtimes solo'ers attack u 1st :( )

mmk well i have a fair idea now and i hope wen peeps read this thread they will see every1's views and stop QQin about this adding shit in the end :p ...


we play this game as a realm...we are meant to crush the enemy and aim for total domination tbh...on my new NS(invisibletank-leirvik toon til rr3) i try to be ruthless and aggressive and help my realm mates as much as i can..i go for ck etc..etc.. and risk getting ganked just to kill 1 enemy and save a hib grp (PAing a cc'er etc)

altho i still like the dueling part in thid and i think i will always feel like thid is a place for fun and dueling instead of..rvr

cheers for not QQin on this thread guys...i am happy if a mod locks it or leaves it open for more views ! :cheers:

Some people think in terms of leaching, some people think about the same thing as sharing.

Some people live by a stupid self set code of conduct, some think about it as a war where there are friendlies (help) and enemies (destroy).

Let`s say in real life i will not stand by the side and watch a friend get slaughtered. I will most probably not stand by the side in this game too when a `friendly` gets owned.

imho the greater good (the realm) is more important than any personal archievement (ego trip).

I am utterly disgusted by people of my realm telling me not to do this or to do that cause it disrupts their ego trip.

Some people don`t have a clue imho what MMorpg means. this game is more than duels and counterstrike in a fantasy setting.

I m sry m8 but all 3 realms r the same, i think all ppl get add (hibs do it when they can) ... I normally run alone or with a friend or 2 and i try to leave soloers (i have to say i never was alive after meet Bane of Thid guild on my solo way ) and if some i was spare it was by hibs and never by mids .... I have to say the few times i was in fg was very difficult to stop groupmates killing a solo enemy ....
Anyway ppl add coz they want revenge on the one who jumped em first, or added in their battle before or coz they reskilled em ... I did it too ... if i got stormroll for lot of time i try to set a gr and get my revenge ... As again if i see a sther on a mage near me can t stay there and watch the mage die ....

I have to say another thingh :p .... I m a warlock hater so i always add on them ( sometime i do on BDs even coz, with all those pets, 1v1 a bd isn t a fair fight :D!!!)
