I play every night for several hours after work, I play on the weekends for 12 hours sometimes. I engage with all contents (except PvE cause I don't like it) and I participate in several warbands and their leaders know that. I'm not away from the game so you could say I am biased. I know what the game goes through often, I know the flaws of the team and the community as much as I know their strongest traits. It's not my job to blindly serve the team, my job relies in perfectly balancing what the team wants and what the team should do for the sake of the community. It's hard but not impossible and thankfully many team members are becoming more and more flexible, from Management to GMs.xoonerfree wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 12:12 amLet community answer these questions please who don't have bias.GamesBond wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 7:10 amThere are guilds that engage in small scale, roaming, premade SCs and avoid zerging.

I get that this is a team based PvP game and I fully appreciate that. I'm just looking to engage in the small team scale side of things, less the big team side.
If you love hardcore warband plays, you need to join a guild that offers that. Casual premades won't do that.
If you love casual warband plays, you cannot be part of an organized guild and then simply losing your way or not following proper commands, bombs, etc.
If you're looking for constant small scale/SC premades, you will need a guild that do these.
There are plenty of guilds you can choose from, but there's always a different option then zerging. Now at the end of the day, there's one enemy keep on the map and once it is sieged, it becomes the most important hot spot on that whole map, which means you will need to join the zerg to push in and that's normal. You can't really push a keep with a group so what I mean to say is that it will always come down to pushing zones to get the bags, and pushing the zones requires the keep to be conquered, which requires a decent number of attackers vs defenders. It is how the game is designed, it is how the campaign moves forward.
I'm entitled to share my honest opinion as much as you are. If you don't like it or if you consider everything I say is biased then that's your problem really.. I'm sure other people have experienced how transparent I am and the team members already know how much pressure I put on them when it comes to the community. Lastly, you can check my posts on MMORPG subreddit, I answer a lot of questions submitted by people who wish to try the game; I never lie to them or waste their time installing the game, I always share what the game would be like in their perspective.
That being said, I still stress on my initial post which says that you could find and play the content that you desire if you are with the right people.
