I understand and respect that.
But it cannot be the case that something simple and undemanding is as effective as it is now.

Rather, the game should reward a more complex approach to gameplay than charging up morale > bombing one spot > retreating > charging up morale > spamming AoE again in one spot.

Yes that part is a bit odd could use improvements for sure

in the past the devs did reduce cap from 24 to 9 and forum listerally crashed on fire with Bombling cryuing and shouting 24/7 of WHYMMASPECZ!!!!

Impressive if you think I have any convincing power like that, if I am to be your favorit scapegoat as to why that test didnt go the other way.
For referance I have been posting several long though out suggestions to improve the game over 8+ years and barely any of my feedback has seen the light of day, so chances are if the test didnt change the aoe cap. That was because the Devs didnt see enough reason to change it.

But I can dig up my "crying" again which is basicly just arguments to prove aoe cap wrong.
The game has a natural aoe cap, in the collision system. There are only so many blackorcs you can fit into 25ft aoe range during collision.
With 9man aoe cap, you get safety in numbers gameplay where the 2nd and 3rd line of a blob are way more safe due to the frontline soaking all of the damage. When players are then more safe, you get more "leeches" that are not building their own 2-2-2 groups or warbands and zergsurf on top of the few that does. This is why blobs are generally forming, lack of incentives to split out across the map. Something I have been pushing hard for this game to have, for several years now also

But sure keep blaming me, for a test to not go the way you seemingly desired
My "screaming and crying" about the unlogical BW/Sorc 15%critdmg posts didnt do much. So the Devs dont balance based on anyones posts, they do changes as they see fit.
