High Pass. The one with Ogrund's Tavern.… that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the Zone to suffer
The spells and arrows of outrageous combat,
Or to log out and xrealm, embedding in their number
And by sabotaging, end them: to ruin, to lol;
Order is gathered for the siege, we line up at the castle, the ram is knocking on the door, oil is spilling, spells are flying… suddenly the ram goes rabbiting off past our lines, past the healers back over the hill and straight into a mass of Orcs who were waiting right there for it. And then they ate it
It seems a Kotbs with an eponymous name was actually an xrealmer intent on sabotaging the siege for Destro.
I have to say that I am not sure why that was necessary, Destro had many times our number. They could have shucked us out of the keep like a lazy oyster at any time or just murdered us at the walls..
They spent the next few hours mowing us down, waiting for us to regroup and then mowing us down again.
Afterward, there was a lot of talk about how Destro cheats all the time. It was some pretty ugly salt as if this kind of thing was a common occurrence.
So, I have questions…
If this the way this is supposed to go? Is this the meta?
I am assuming not. I am guessing that xrealming over to spawn a key war machine just so you can ruin the other side’s attempt at capturing the zone is a bad thing on par with cheating.
And if that is the case, I am interested in what is going to be done.
My guess, again, is nothing but I could be wrong.
If I remember the temperament of the team from community engagement on up, they were never terribly shy about expressing themselves directly and with adventuresome language.
So it seems like silence on the matter isn’t “we are working on it in the background but can’t talk about it.”
I think silence means it IS the way the game is played. Indeed it is so effective and efficient, it is the only way the game can be played.
I don’t think I could bring myself to be the kind of person who does a thing like that, but clearly there are people who lack even my own meager standards.
So if xrealm sabotage is an acceptable tactic, I guess that is a good thing to know and keep handy.
