I'm sorry I didn't get the memo about guild war etiquette, thus I will assume that like in the real world, anything goes.
You do not hear my guild complaining that we 8, are taking on POLC, Dwarven Forge, TWP, Resurrection, and whatever stragglers and allies they have all at the same time. We even laughed at you guys when you sent 41 bounty hunters to attack 1 member. Now the moment we got support that you didn't expect, you want to cry and belittle our efforts by saying we're relying on mercs to fight for us? As far as i'm concerned we're the only guild having 100% participation of all our members in deleveling efforts. We're doing what we're supposed to do, and yes, we do have friends out there who support us and voluntarily helped in our fight. We do not control the actions of others.
You probably though that with an overwhelming amount of players and resources you could crush us, now that you realize that wasn't possible, you find it necessary to bad mouth us?
bluebaron says: And aside from that, you don't think you guys have leaks? LOL As far as winning . . . nope. Pac is down a total of 43 levels. I'm not down nearly that much. Nice try though.
Notice how they're relying on trying to create doubt within our guild? I guess they figure if they can't physically beat us they'll try to make us feel bad or doubtful. Which is a good strategy, too bad that type of thing only works for guilds with members wanting to seek a peaceful place to play. But if you want to play that way, I have a message to you too then, Dwarven Forge. Why is it that TWP is participating in the majority of the fights while you and POLC sit pretty? Too busy having others level and try to bring up your guild's xp?
I'll admit, pacnbizzy and I combined lost 58 levels. You seem to like to use levels as a gauge, then please note from my own efforts I took 73 levels total from various players. That means we're causing more collateral damage to you than you are to us. With all the xp gains we're denying, we even managed to help drop POLC from their former rankings.
They used to be ranked 17, now they're at 18.
I guess from this point is where the cries came out that we're fighting unfairly, using mercs, blah blah blah. Say what you like, but fact of the matter is, we're taking more levels than your whole alliance is. If that's your excuse for your own shortcomings, then preach it to your guild to give them the strength and confidence to keep on fighting us. To me, it seems like you're trying to rack up sympathy points from the community, as if we're the big bad bullies. If you want, I can have a few of my players take a knee, if you think our domination in this deleveling game merits unsportsmanlike conduct. Will that make you happy?
To us, this is just like a legendary event. We get to suit up, hunt, then hope for drops. The drop of your levels and xp is the only thing we look forward to As an added bonus, with all the fsps and gold being put back into the game, we're doing our part in stimulating the economy. It'll be hard to drive down the cost of fsps, but we're doing what we can. :wink:
So in a nutshell...
No we are not gonna feel bad if you say we use mercs or insult us on how we're taking away your levels. Our way works, so why bother copying your losing ways?
No we will not bend over backwards for you just because you are struggling against 8 players. That's your problem not ours.
No we don't care about how much levels we lose, so threats to our levels are a wasted effort.
If you have any other concerns regarding how the fights are fought, please refer them to someone who cares.
