Agreed. Outposts being taken is denying new content, spires will deny old content to _all_ players on the losing side (tagged or not). If things work out even it'll be a good time for the neutrals on the surface anyway I'm surerundll32 wrote:The real test will be when spires arrives :S
As for the rest of this thread I've been saying this stuff so long people kick me when I start up again but here goes...
Yes there is a numbers imbalance.
No it isnt as big as some say, but also it is bigger than some would like you to believe (after all, as mentioned a lot of the Tryker Kara guilds dont get involved, or even help the Kami, and a large proportion of the neutrals help the Kami).
A larger % of Karavan players actively seek out PvP. A lot of Kami players will only fight defensively or when desperate.
Yes the imbalance is getting worse as more newbies join the OP holding guilds because, despite trade, donations and charity the OP holding guilds always get a decent proportion of the cats, and cats are the biggest advantage a new player can get.
The Karavan do trade with neutrals (and probably some Kami, but I couldnt speak for them). But of course in any trade there is an exchange. So the Kara give up some spare crystals, and get something else that is useful.
Don't know enough about handouts to comment on it. But I think its a little... hypocritical to claim to be so generous if you steal a mans business then give him a small proportion of its profits every so often to salve your conscience.
