Until recently there were no warband assistant roles. It's not even about ranks, how hard is it to understand? When you as a leader need a tank and healer for the last grp and all the time dps classes join on your open wb, then good luck with it.Topdude wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 5:38 pmWith this statement you negate all the hard work and success of warband leaders through of the years that AoR was live. We never had autoband nor should it be allowed. IMO it's one of the biggest reasons new players get turned off from RoR.
Lowbie? eh, you're outta luck! Go form your own warband, even though you're struggling to learn how to play your toon. Oh don't worry, autoband will help you maintain that sterile 2/2/2 meta that has funneled gameplay down to not much more than mirrors bashing against each other until population swings and a zone is taken.
I and a few of my guildies have been pushed to solo or small group play because of innocently joining a WB while leveling a toon only to be kicked. "Too many dps", "too low level"... Buck up, drop autoband and lead an open WB doing the best with what you have, it helps the community grow, it helps new players get used to their toons and playing in groups.
It depends on what goals you have with your warband, whether you actually want to win a fight with a similar sized opponent or if you just run boxes.
Back then there was no addon, ppl closed the warband to organize it and used chat to find people to invite.
You see daily what new players learn in unorganized warbands after a wipe - other side is op.
People are free to start open warbands and invite anyone no matter what class, nobody says you can't do it. But who are you to tell how somebody else builds their warband and how they organize it?!
