Balance became even worse since AAO is removed from bag rolls. Good renown from kills is obviously not incentive enough. Cannot remember that I saw 260% AAO in EU prime time in the last month or years.

Aye, most people are trying to gear. Sure the high renowns with full bis are happy to farm aao bonus but the rest will follow path of least resistance to getting gear.

Removing aao bonus means that path of least resistance= winning and victory generaly goes to side with most numbers. So xrealming to winning side is now encouraged by the system in place.

And btw, RR80 is much, much faster to reach on the side that has AAO, compared to the one that has huge zergs...
This is why it is so interesting to use this link:

sorted by Renown rank, especially during EU primetime.

This is what happens when plebs are allowed access to forums. Im sorry for the pun but you have obviously such a horribly limited amount of experience playing both sides that your statement is just null and void.

I suggest you brainstorm further statements a bit further because you, sir, are wrong. Every step of the way.

But destro is cooler and hence have more basement dwelling 40-year olds playing it.
That's a good way to get a warning.

Before whining check what exactly did you do for your realm. Probably Rolled another RDPS or MDPS which melt without support :D

Big AAO - roam to the hell of it. Can't beat 6-man? Do a 12-man and get guaranteed kills, where each kill is worth a tons of renown.
Or if you are sociopath go for oil in keep, few days ago when Order had 280% AAO and nobody bothered to go to keep I managed to get 20k+ renown with using one oil, the same amount I'd get after few hours of playing in zerg warband getting this 'fat' 1-4 renown per kill


I don't see why devs should be bothered with population numbers, it's clearly a playerbase issue. As long as both sides are balanced in terms of skills/tactics/morales things will balance itself. Any direct control of numbers will have huge negative impact on the server community
One million percent of right and true!!!.
For God Sake its a tactical game, its about thinking, tactical maneuvers. Tactical means if you outnumbered, You must use "hit and run" tactic, ambush and gank enemies.
The TRUE problem in all this thread is that Players, knows ONLY one to way to play (warbands), and when they meet a Two warbands they are helpless. They cant let go of WB leader hand and start act independently.

IF Dear Devs can do something its only a reduce the role and profits from participating in partys/premades/wb , maybe in such situation zerg will stop pushing,

BTW Fat Squigs run mostly, Choppa, Mara, SH and Zealot/Dok and 4 ppl on accident characters is tons of fun, especially when aao is on Destro side, trust me.
