Sub-40 zone flip loot bags

[Aurandilaz]

If they wanted to make the game "newbie friendly" the SC brackets would probably be 1-15, 16-39 and 40+. Currently it's just absurd how fast some +31 people explode in Scs vs higher ranked enemy dps players. Obviously some classes explode fast even if they are above 40, but for any new players it must be somewhat demotivating to have to get from 31 to 40 all whilst getting "combat experience" versus veteran players of the game who see another lowlevel target as a fly they can quickly swat to the side before going for the juicier targets.

Maybe at 31 the bolster gives some advantage, but by rank 35 it has mostly worn off. If the player is lucky and has full Anni or Merc, they might get a soft spanking, but will still feel the lack of some abilities, tactic slot and missing renown points which would have made the fight more "fun".

There are people whi go out of thier way to target players in low-level looking gear in SC's just for easy kills

If they could bolster 32-39 like they do 16-30 that would go a long way in evening out the transition. Especially in scenarios. I would be nice to start getting drops / tokens for the next tier 3-5 levels before you can start using them, that way you can move right into the gear.

absolutely, I noticed it a lot too when playing in t4 rvr or sc.

They go like "I probably can't kill this lvl 40, lemme just target that lvl 32 behind that rock, hidden in the bushes 540 meters away".

This is some next level dellusion.

Yeah, they should not try to win at all just because you are low level.

red is dead as they say, but some people seems to go great lenghts to focus on lowbies.

I would rather, be it in rvr, target someone who can actually give me some decent Renown / Conq med.

Probably because its a game where killing people and snowballing from it, its half the reason you will win most of the time.

If given the choice between a guy who will blow up and someone that is guarded and will need coordination to go down, i and 99% of the server would choose the first target, its stupid and dellusional to do anything else.

[Aurandilaz]

Yeah, most of time you dont "aim for the lowbies for luls", but because its effective tactic and keeps working. You know they lack gear and renown, especially defensive renown abilities.
So its an easy way to start the snowballing towards victory, aim for the Achilles heel, which might be a lowbie healer or a lowbie dps who is just ripe for ripping apart.
If it starts as a 12v12 fight, but your team finishes 1 or 2 lowbies within first 10-15 seconds of combat, it becomes 12vs10 fight fast and one or two more kills later it becomes a rout.
