First off, this game is super old. there are some newer players. and some kids of older players etc. but for the most part people are at least late 20's early 30's. So grow up.
8v8: I don't understand why people still complain about this? It's always been a part of the game and with 18 years knowledge people can and will optimize it. If you don't like it, don't fight them, all you need is speed 5 plus sprint and guess what? they can't catch you. Most of the "Elite" 8v8 guilds won't chase you across 3 zones. The real problem is pugs trying to emulate them, no point going for a twinked pug set up when you have no chemistry so stop trying to be so high and mighty and take the damn thane.
Adding: Again, why is this still being discussed? Remember. this is not PvE. there are real people behind every character. You constantly add on them, guess what? they'll repay you for it. Regardless of 8v8 or 1v1, if you want to add, add. That's part of the game everyone accepts. But if you're going for the cheap realm points and they stop fighting and turn on you, or let them kill you if the same realm, you had it coming. you have no leg to stand on. If you saw 2 random people fighting on a street and run in fists whirling, they would probably also stop and be like wtf dude?
This one works both ways, why are people still shocked/angry when people add? I personally respect 1v1's (don't really get involved in the 8v8 game but the concept is the same) but if I see a realm mate getting 2v1'ed I'll add to make it 2v2 (unless they're clearly winning already). The people that complain to the winds about being added on are 9/10 happy to 8v1 some poor soloer. How is that any better?
Stealthers: People moaning about stealthers camping PKs cracks me up, where else should they go? Should they solo FGs in Emain? or fight at the mile gates to 100% get added on by FGs? Yes sitting outside killing xpers is lame, we've all had that moment when you PA a yellow con and he turns green and you feel sad for about 2 seconds. Then you're like ah well. But most of the best fights I've had is after killing a caster or something then other stealthers come looking for me. If you're in and RvR zone, expect to be killed, even if you're grey.
Grey ganking: Again personally. I don't do it. I don't see the fun or appeal and it's essentially griefing in my book. BUT...... again RvR zone etc. I've had to kill greys that have added on my fights, Stunned me tried to nuke me etc, but I don't engage them. Some people do as a preemptive measure as a grey can 100% lose you a fight. If you're the sort of grey they adds on a fight you see to get a few rps to make leveling easy, you can't expect not to die. That said, which grey isn't that sort of grey?? Also some people (again see stealthers at PKs) will kill a grey to bait out a stealther to look for them, I'm sure it's nothing personal (again not my style, I like to hug greys).
This is easily the best shard around, great team that are making excellent changes, good QoL balance, good class and realm balance, PvE not too much of a grind but not too easy. Crafting isn't hell on earth, RP penalty for FG while bonuses for solo/small man, Kepp take incentives etc.etc.etc. The list goes on and on. Whatever your play style this server has made life better for you. So stop whining like ungrateful little shits and play the game.
