There is nothing new about that. Does anyone know where the code for the ror killboard API can be found?

Actual killboard code: https://github.com/dalen/killboard

GraphQL schema and web interface: https://production-api.waremu.com/graphql/

Scenarios are won by who has more/better premades. Most of the better ones xrelam. The only reason this is such a nightmare is because many of those chose to prioritise getting their rings on destro so now there are more premades than pugs in scs and they are queueing 24/7 because the event is so taxing.

For months, pugging the weekend event on destro every friday meant <33% winrate because order had shitloads of premades out. Idk why people are crying now.

And yes, boxes on kill drop is pretty harsh design for both side (killer and victim), killers will do anything possible to farm kills (including ignoring SC mechanic OR even trade killing because its still a box drop) and for victims because they will get farmed/chased...

Funny, Ive met last EU night 6 man of quite famous order guild farming tier 1 scenarios.
But on the other hand, I dont see other way to force people leave warcamps or keeps to do pvp.

Edit, after a bit of search I found another order guild 6man farming mid scenarios.

And here i assumed farming boxes in t1 and t2 is too ruthless for a RoR vet. Of course it is not.

If you don't have full premade (real premade, not some random guys from /5) it is indeed a good idea to participate in t1 slugfest.
And (unlike T4) there is a lot of deaths (and boxes) from each side. Compare that to T4 when there is no reason to even bother to queue sc the moment premades start to queue (yeah, sometimes fun sc happend, but usually its just wait till 11:00).

And they say xrealmers kill the pop

Look at the win/loss ratio of SC's. Look at the frequency of 500:0 victories. The data is there.

True, the data is there. Like for example the fact that this morning we had 5, 6 pages of nearly only Order wins with the occasional Destro win sprinkled in.

The point is: It depends too much on the time of day to say that either or is at an advantage.

Sc's are nearly unplayable as a newer solo player.

Group with people of high gear or get stomped.

Definitely wearing on me. Game is awesome, but frustrating, not sure how long I'll stick around. Seems devs (all have high gear) and don't give af about newer casuals. #Getgud

Because there is no solution to this, not simple one at least... You can try restrict queue but it will only make queue longer... The issue is low pop, with higher pop it wouldnt be that much issue.
