Sure there are enough...but since everything is in the same area atm its just a matter of seconds before they add.

Edit: and honestly, I didnt say there was a chance of hibs to attack the enemy I was attacking..I was talking about the enemy adding to the battle.

ahh right. I wasnt specifically talking about the state of rvr at the moment, just in general. and mid or albs dont seem to have any kind of courtesy code or anything where they feel guilty or whatever for adding.

I have some sypathy with you here Pikeh as it seems to me that there are two types of people playing this game. One set wants fun and wants masses of rps to gain a higher RR status, to become more powerful, to win more fights and gain even more rps. The other also wants fun but is prepared to gain their rps slower and is not to upset by gaining 800 or 8,000 on a run out. I am sure both sets want rps and I am sure both sets want to have fun.

The issue several people, including me, are trying to raise is that in RvR you need to think and act quickly. For some of the less experienced peeps this is crucial if you are to have any chance of winning the fight. That means we do not always have a chance to stop, work out the numbers, work out if the hibby group who is already there is winning or losing and then decide if we should add or not.

Some, a few, may add to 'leech'. I have not many any of these types of people yet, but there may be some out there. How you recognise a leecher from an innocent person who is simply out for RvR and knows no better I am not sure.

Adding will remain in the game, albs do it, mids do it and we do it. I think Peat and Briannon are right - it is how we deal with it and react to it that is the issue.

But as you all know its sometimes a matter of seconds before groups/players die so it really is hard to tell if you should add or not..to much hesitation and it might be game over :)

Now don't get me wrong, I don't always add on everyone I see...but many times after running around for 1-2h without getting any really good chance to attack I see no other option since the game will start to feel pretty dull :) but if it is one on one and our side is winning, ofcourse I wont add in.

But whats your opinion on keep defence? If i shot at an enemy on the ground that I KNOW cant fire back or get heals...should the other hibs with range attacks leave him? Maybe, but thats something impossible to keep track of so imo give em hell :) (and tbh for a ranger thats as much 1on1 as it is for some classes to run around in the frontier)

You'll never get anything solved with a thread like this. Different people is different playstyles. Yes sometimes you will get abused by one tard from either camp. Ignore and live with it

and for the record: Adding is bad mmkay

i was not going to post in this and leave it all to people that are experienced in rvr.
but thought i might slip in my opinion.
RVR is RVR for a reason, to pitch yourself and your hibbie friends against another realm in the hope of world domination and mega RP's!
I suck at rvr, always have always will, but the way i see it:

!Wandering around the frontiers, xping in POC, standing on a keep wall.
!See enemies approaching, hear the shouts, see the spam on /as /bg /y
!Vision goes blurry, I see Red, i charge/cast/ and leggit towards them, regardless of anyone else in the area, regardless of who else is attacking them
! I Die, I release , I have a moan about OP albs/mids. i head back to good old pve.

hehe

Situation 1

Our group mezzes a full group of albs, we are about to engage the fight and kill them. Suddenly theres a blast and all the albs are free, some ns used GS.

Situation 2

Our group surprise a fg of albs from the side, everyone is perfectly mezzed. Two seconds later we see a chanter run in to the albs gets off one pbae, all albs are free and the chanter insta dies.

I can go on and on and on...

And you guys wonder why people get mad when they get adds and tell them to sod of.

But those situation is abit unusual..atleast ive only seen it happen 2-3 times. The NS that used the GS should ofcourse have a verbal fistfuxx...
