Return of Reckoning

I'm typing this up as I'm sitting in Eataine watching Destro siege Order, and I watch 100+ people die instantly as soon as they hit the doorstep of the keep. AOE is broken in this game, and Order has the best AOE, therefore Order is able to stop Destro at any chokepoint. This is making taking keeps and especially forts (even worse now that there are more defenders) oppressively hard as Destro. I know some people are going to shrug this post off by saying it all comes down to organization yadda yadda, but organization has nothing to do with the fact that running into a chokepoint is instadeath. If you're not going to address this can we at least get some public communication on why the RoR team thinks nothing needs to change?

Edit: No oil was not up...can't believe I have to clarify that.

i like aoe

This.
Also hilarious moaning about order aoe when destro aoe melee balls are still like a combine harvester on nitro.

From my limited experience and with all my toons under 40 all i can say is what i see. When I go to a keep and its order defending, I see RDPS covering the walls melting everything bellow. All those RDPS have tanks guarding them and hold the line is on. When it is destro defending I see no one on the walls. If a Destro RDPS moves onto the balcony they are melted. I have no idea if this is a symptom or the cause but destro seems to not care for its RDPS.
