OK let me try to express all my thoughts using my poor language skills..
I don't wanna quote people who posted here to not give any reasons for flames.Also I think I might sound very harsh but recent events showed that some ppl need schock therapy.
1. The worst thing we see atm is too fast "education" of newcommers- they gain levels way too fast - no matter if they r druged by cats or guided by experienced players. They are torn from fun of exploring and learning. AoD or MMeleer after 3-6 weeks of power grind is the worst thing imo. So I say after 2 years of living on Atys- let them burnt and quit- thay experienced only grind and this is all thay see.

Kami community- this is not true that u not exist- there r loads of low and high lev players who r able to face Karavans..and even more when they get help from neutrals or even karavans who support a certain idea, goal ect.
The thing is IMHO that after Infinity quitting - which were a main example of power and "spiritus movens" for all political intrigues ect. (*bows to Bri The Puppets master ;* ), kami players lost their faith. If you were following whole history of quitting by kamis u could spotted that minority that were using forums frequently poisoned community by whining and flaming. From my point of view such posts only showed weaknes of people behind avatars and they RL fears and doubts.
So the thing looks like this : Karavan community on shard organised, trained, and after many hours of discusion, inspite guerrila tactic attacks within it's own ranks (infamous hijacking our forums and partialy quoting words w/o full context ect.). But the main thing that makes us growing and developing into atm strongest side is - TEAM WORK! yes we all try to set common , respected by all rules of sharing, helping and influence politics. For us there is not greed or behind curtain intrigues..we took the risk of non-selfishness relationships and we won.
And how did Kami side go while we were organising? Mates u started arguing, hiding cats, Ops mats and turning agains eachother. We all know that tehre r forces out there which could wipe at every GvG battle every single kara guild... (*coughs...and maybe a bit exaggerating atm lol*) but they exist!
Instead of trying to unite yourselves all of yoou building up ur treasury stockpilin supereme mats and slowly reaching toward end of your atysian journey beacuse of BOREDOME!

The FUTURE How I see it ? If Nervax will survive long enough, what I wish them from all my heart, we will see one of such scenarios :
a) Kami side will rethink all their recent achievement and start slowly rising in power. For this u need a strong leadership and some faith. I know many of you so I doubt if u will have any problems in finnding both of this things ;D
b) Kami side will keep dying ... and after 1-3 months Karavans will face void of being the most powerful force on Atys and..AND nothing.. cause I can bet some kind of inside fights might start and collapse of KA is possible which will also create new unknown playing style and maybe that days some kamis will start a resistance and will run guerrila war
Who knows ...
Anyway after all this stream of free thoughts that express my heart (hope some1 understood a part of it) I think the future of SoR is still bright and rly nothing to worry about
P.S. If kami side would search thru shaddy black market they might find few old teachers who would help them train agains karas
USE THE FORCE LUKE!!! ...wait..not this fairytale....USE THE FORCE WITHIN KAMI WARRIORS!
