Last 2 days in game...

[Endari]

So Monday we had a ram stolen in TM and ran into PvE, Tuesday we had a ram taken to a keep in Riek with maybe 5 people because the dude was tired of "xrealmers playing with each other". Something I had noticed as well today in Praag, came up upon a WE and AM fighting I thought but no just 2 people dancing around each other and the AM letting the WE build witchbrew stacks, who then proceeded to kill me(not salty at all ) while the AM just danced and watched...tonight a BG and 5-6 order were flirting around in Riek among others...

I get it, it's summer and there are only 200ish online but keep your mutual masturbation with your friends to discord, it's what it was built for, or at least take it to a nonactive zone just like on live, you can prance around all you like without bothering the few people left that want to actually play.

I can not wait for this one to get more traffic !

The prancing around usually happens amongst solo and small scale players, sick of zerging, who are used to fighting each other and have become "informal" friends who just don't attack each other in usual circumstances. It's not necessary that they are actual friends but most of them avoid attacking other players when the goofing around is happening

As for the ram stealing and deliberately sabotaging your own realm for any reason, is disruptive play and could be grounds for the ban hammer.

Then maybe it's time for them to move on? A new game might get them back into gaming, refusing to attack in a PvP game? come on, that is just lame. I knew a ton of people on live and the closest I got to what you describe was I'd emote on their corpse.

If you don't want to kill the other side it's time for a break, watching that garbage in Riek tonight just killed my motivation. They let their buddy up the hill to the keep so he could punt somebody down into their war camp, while 2 groups just watched and spazzed around.

It's a game so having fun is all good but not when it actively interferes with other people, at least take it to an unactive zone, I remember all the times that chaos wastes were used for everybody to flirt and dance under the guise of duals, let's get that back and out of the active lakes.

maybe just let ppl play how they want? maybe time for you to move on and find another game if you dont like it here....

personally i can say that i dont like zerging at all and pretty much enjoy fair fights.

Keep in mind that Warhammer online was in total running for a shorter time than RoR, and that on top of many players playing both iterations. If they like the game let them play however they want, I assure you those guys killed and emoted each other hundreds of times already and they might just not get that much fun from doing it once again.

Ram stealers which run to PvE (to destroy the whole siege attempt) should be banned quick and hard!

Look, you cannot, rather should not try to control how others play a game. Like I said most of the goofing around is completely non-disruptive to the war effort. It might bruise a few egos here and there but that's it. Besides, they don't kill only a certain player or group of players. Anyone else is free for killing especially if its a hated rival.

When Order and Destro players coalesce to grief a faction's war effort they should be punished. No doubt about that. Next time record the incident and send it to a GM. They take swift action if the evidence is apparent. But to be honest that specific situation you describe is not something that you cannot counter. Also be advised that there are some players within a faction who hate each other. Which in my book makes for a very interesting dynamic (unless you steal a ram from them).

Lol a player quite rightly complains over bad game play and he is told to move on? Get a grip and play with both hands in future and try to be an adult. Good shout Endari.

It was so much easier and enjoyable live. No sanctioned xrealming, indelible interest in playing the mechanic and a great sense amongst the community of realm pride. "If you're red your dead" was the common saying.
Unfortunately the RoR devs and the resulting community that exists on the server today don't play the game by these rules. As pop sways and pits a keep take against class balance, WB configuration and aao it tends to make realms shy away from running a ram for a futile attempt and instead zerg/skirmish for entertainment.
And that equals /yawn and many wasted hours building zones only to have the pop swing and wipe the other side's efforts. Then you've got all the morale destroying activities of those that steal a ram or lead a fake siege for whatever motives.
