For veteran players you already have the advantage of greater knowledge of the game as well as practice which should be advantage enough, if you claim to be any good. It makes no sense to have such impossible gate keeping to actually play and succeed at the game at a resonable capacity. In the old days of RoR it was much easier to get the BiS gear without having to grind awful content like cities and forts which are only available a small fraction of the time. Or grind pve which should not be providing BiS gear but for whatever reason it does.

Recently RoR had a massive influx of players because of the video published by TheLazyPeon on youtube which received over half a million views. What players that video brought to the game are basically disappearing it seems like because the server pop has been gradually decreasing over the past few weeks. If the game does not appeal to new players and the only ones who are able to fully enjoy the game are those who have been able to log on at all times of the day to catch forts and cities then this server will continue to lose population, it is far too much of a commitment for people to become interested in or maintain an interest in. All the while you are getting destroyed by the players who have the best gear already which makes for not a very fun experience.

I really dont find forts or cities to be very enjoyable. They are often pointless stalemates or completely one sided ass beatings.

Sovereign insignias should drop from regular pvp as this would help prevent city logging as well as increase the average players level of gear which makes pvp less one sided in a lot of cases. Look at the number of players who have surpassed rr80 a long time ago and still continue to pvp on the same character, players dont need gear incentive to want to play the game. The game is about pvp not collecting gear, and the game will be easier to continue to balance once players are able to reach somewhat of a gear cap because it will be easier to recognize trends of over or under performance.

If throwing a zone (pixels) is toxic for you, then how comes you belittle people caring only for pixels? OP, that's just hypocritical you get that right?


On the side note, I am bored of watching Netflix all day waiting for a zone to be pushed into fort/city - because a) the orvr zergfest becomes repetitive and mindnumbing and boring b) it awards nothing and c) I'd rather do ranked, but I need endgame gear which is only from forts/cities, so the back and forth mindless rvr is just a waste of time.

People tryharding for "realm pride" are hindering the progress of everyone else is what makes the whole system broken.

As has been said elsewhere , if you play the game for gear and gear is the thing that you believe will make the difference you are playing the wrong game

take a merry band in Annihilator gear all sub RR50 against a group in full sov (or whatever is BiS) RR70+ You will quickly see gear is quite important in this game.

EDIT: Make conq / vanq easier to obtain Takes too long to be in mediocre gear.

Getting Vanq gear or PVE gear is not hard so no excuse. I have some of my alts running in conq and it works well enough to get results.
But this post is specifically about trying to get royals so your comment is irrelevant, and just a give free stuff call.
