Split T2 From T3 and 4?

[Nealio]

Aside from a few twilight hours it seems server population might be able to support T2 being split off from T'3 and 4. I think this would allow for more active T2 arenas where T2 rank players could actually enjoy and learn Keep siege and defense without having to deal with rr60+ players farming them and generally ruining the whole experience. I personally have witnessed small premade groups of rr60+ players completely disassemble T2 rank teams trying to learn how to flip zones and control bo's.

Often times a single pre-made group of rr60+ will simply cockblock a warband of lower ranked T2 players in the T2 arenas with no possibility but to give up on the zone in frustration. Often times no amount of tactics or strategy/teamwork can overcome the sheer weight of mechanics that give a group of rr60+ advantage over a full warband of T2 ranked players.

T2 is really where novice players cut their teeth and then hone their warband skills before stepping up to the big leagues. Having now played a toon to upper T4 ranks and started another that is now T2-T3 I have seen first hand from both sides of the issue that there may be a good reason to revisit this.

Maybe I'm wrong but it's just a suggestion to have a look at it. Thanks!

Warbands getting farmed by premade groups sounds more like a pug problem

Nope, population is good, no need to change or revisit it just to make smaller. You will die the same way to that bugbear R40/RR60+ players in premade when you are R16 or R40/RR40+.

Pugging is just not the way this game is supposed to be played. If you want to participate in orvr then you NEED to find yourself a guild or just stick to pub scenario.

You know, whether I agree or not with your decision I appreciate having the forum to post suggestions and the decency of getting a response rather than tumbleweeds and crickets. Thanks for your time and the effort you guys put into the game and to opening yourselves up to suggestions.

This is not happening for most players. It is more a mentality thing.
E.g. tanks could learn to guard the moment they become rank 10 and yet too many can't guard properly with rank 40.
When you don't want to learn and don't care, then you could split the rvr tiers by 5-rank increments, if we had enough zones to allow it, and still nothing would improve.

T2 have the absolute best maps for large scale fighting imo. Its kinda shame to not utilize em other then for lower ranks pugs.

The frustration of fighting higher ranked/geared/premade players isjustsomething that you pretty much never get away from. It exist in T1 and it exist at rr80.

Why is there a full warband of T2 in the first place and what are you folks doing and where?

If you want to learn something when you enter T2+ you join the main fight in the main zone and get in one of the main pug wb's, if you're not guilded.

There's also no point in trying to only RvR in T2 zones for the INF rewards as you'll level up faster and be in Devastator before being able to have the INF bars filled. Also T2 zones are only active if there's no T4 zone open as the zergs prefer T4 > T3-T2.

there was t2 removed from ather tiers and it have so low population that only late evenings was somhow not boring stay at flags or pve door. and most ppl anyway are powerleveling to 31 level for t4 content with low rr lewel and than say why he is dead when white lion or ather class instant shot him. and mostly lower tiers wear destro based no real fights.
. and ppl should learn heal and guard from t1 not from t-unkonwn.
