Return of Reckoning

I haven’t checked but is the x-realm cooldown/lockout still working? My question is I don’t see the incentive to switch sides, lose contribution, and trigger the x-realm lockout if the pop is such that you are not going to get AAO from kills on the underpopulated side anyways? At that point you would have to play BO’s and keep sieges to get contribution as outnumbered side but that’s a pretty bleak prospect with AAO that high. I might be misunderstanding how this works though.

buffing destro would be a good icentive..but insted of it, they nerf them again. . So why should i play destro?

Few months ago people were whining about Choppa pulls and general destro WB composition with Maras... ah and sweet pouncing squig dumplings.

Such an interesting picture as always

As fighting is less rewarding players jump to sit and afk on Bo's as those ticks are not affected of how badly your faction zerg/dominate, take no effort and allow brain dead afk gaining renown and bags.
We already have aao and supply shortage reducing wounds of zerging realm. If thats not enough to even out the fights then the root of the problem lies elsewhere.

Then maybe instead of reverting it, add same effect to objectives?

Would only cause even less players feeling the urge to participate.
Simple example why this change is bad - ive enter lake solo on my slayer yesterday, few meters out of wc i was attacked by WE. She didnt do so well and got proper 2h hammer crushing her skull. I got 1 renown... just because somewhere 5km away from me theres a lot of order attacking keep. Does it make any sense and encourage me to roam the zone seeking fights?

Don't get me wrong, but for me solo roamers are nothing, but cockroaches in RvR.
Why do you think, RvR should be designed to make SOLO players happy?

Could be same situation with group vs group or wb vs wb, doesnt change the fact that you are penalized by mere presence of your faction in rvr lake that might be nowhere near the spot you fight and will not support you in any way.
