We talked with guild/alliance on otehr day some of us are taking break from RoR since being farmed all day long [with some small skirmishes won - and then raped by zerg] aint fun at all and this game supossed to be fun not a reason of frustration. Maybe if more order took break and there was 0 resistance ppl will bring the faction balance again ;'p since pve on rvr lakes isnt much fun. |Live servers like Norn died cause of this...

SInce 90% new toys were given to destro no wonder ppl are sitting on destro side...

p.s. [non related to topic] Since "balance" were reason to give BG wods pls implement heal debuff for SM

Having playing during the last event all days from the first hours of Friday until the night hours of Monday, 10 days total, characters on both sides, I have noted the following:

1) There were 2 occassions on which Order did not have AAO. One lasted 2 hours, second one lasted 4 hours. Rest of the time Order was under constant AAO.
2) Playing Order under AAO and killing many more people than playing Destro under normal conditions and not killing so many people as there was not enough Order to be farmed through the zerg brought me much less rewards. Not that my characters need it, but for levelling/gearing up player it can be demotivational to play Order.
3) Level of coordination in Destruction pug warbands is much higher than in Order pug warbands.
4) Order severe lack of tanks and melee line meant that in 90+ % cases Order lines are broken during first 15 seconds of engagement and then Order is just farmed.
5) PvD rules. As long as Order defended the keep with 10 people (5 AFK) against 100+ Destruction gave nice rewards in RR and influence. Order took just few keeps over 10 days, therefore Destruction based characters were levelling RR up much faster. Standard keep gave 40k per cap, lightly defended keep was usually giving 10-20k per cap for 15 minutes of AFKing near warband leader.

TL;DR: it was much more easy and pleasant to level RR up for Destruction characters playing in semi-afk mood, reading the book than struggling against all odds for Order and getting much less than Destruction warbands.

Most of RoR players go to play the side of most fun. Fun is winning, fun is looking cool, fun is being stronk.

Solution are faction-wide boosts for Order classes and/or faction-wide nerfs for Destruction classes. Otherwise we will continue to enjoy what is happening last 4 years with the short exception of King's Own time in T3.

Cool story. Care to log in now and see how much AAO Order has and how many destro zergs are out? The population changes back and forth. If the game frustrates you, then quit.

Why people are playing destro more as I see it: Destro is more open to new players and new strategies.
