Help underdog faction please.

[Malessar]

Hello.

My friends and I have been suffering, we're on the Order side, and every single day, every single week, destro has 20% ao on us. Sometimes up to 60%, sometimes 100%, but it's only equal during absolute downtime, and usually after they're done whooping us.

AO's advantage of xp and renown doesn't matter when you're getting farmed and can barely get kills.

It's also a reailty that it just isn't fun sometimes to have to defend zone after zone with 40% less and then get to fort with 60% less people.

We need some mechanic that actually rewards being the underdog, or even boosts the stats, I don't know.

It's just not fun being the underdog, and this is why MANY known clans have switched to destro. To have fun. Because yes, when you're order and you're outnumbered, you feel epic when you win. But you lose 75% of the time and you're just feeding.

This isn't me whining, if it was destro who's the underdog, they'd be the ones getting farmed. It's not great. I don't want to do the obvious solution of switching to destro to farm and laugh at the puny numbers. I want the game to be more fun for both sides.

Suggestions?

Some minor bolster might help for the underdog if ao is over 20%, even less rewards for the side with over 40-60% advantage, idk.

Otherwise you'll keep seeing people in order xrealming and for good reason, and then, where does that leave us?

I'm not talking abotu balance - stuff like shaman being unkillable or such - just straight up, order's deserting for destro because they get farmed. I see players switching sides daily.

Sadly this cannot be a thing without utterly killing roaming.

why does the small man group get punished for doing small man group things? if they can no longer roam because their opponent is empowered for having AAO then they will just go join the blob warband. which will lead to the AAO side smallman joining their warband and before you know it roaming is even more dead then it already is.

also its not just Order. i dont know what times you play at, but NA Destro was pitiful for the past few weeks(thats an NA issue rather then a game issue though).

We need a way to ENCOURAGE the underdog to get played more, because right now its dreadful. My friends are actually disencouraged from playign the game since they feel they'll just feed. I hope GMS answer.

There are two problems:

1) The rewards don't match the effort put in to achieve them (either AAO side or zerg side)
2) Stagnant campaigns make people log or switch

There have been a gazillion (ignored) posts about both these topics so won't do more than restate them here.

Have you tried looking for organised groups in your time zone? Having aao that regularly is extremely rewarding of you can find an organised warband to join. Consider looking for a guild that is active in your timezone and enjoy the rr.
