As Long as people harbor hard feelings for one, or the desires to have what others have remains, OP's wars will continue on. Take away the human feelings of desire, jealousy and and hatred and we'll have no Op battles. Untill you do that, we will continue to follow part of our nature and lust for that which others have and we do not. As for what times the battles are, it only makes sense to attack on a time that's bad for your enemy. Is it smart to give you foe the edge? Multiple declarations, another tatic to hinder your foes, is it wrong to try to put the favor with you?
What I don't like is whinning back and forth, "you started it! No You started it!" Come on we're not not all 5 year olds
. You can handle arguements better then that, if you can't you need to quit playing games and take a few years to grow up
. I also don't like how this has spread to other parts of the game. Person A wont rez person B, because person B killed them in an Op battle 5 times. How silly. Person 1 ganks Person 2 because there a member of a guild in the opposeing faction even though they never have gone to a sinlge op battle also silly imo. I know it hold some rp value, but it falls apart when you don't rp
(and most of you don't). Also such actions alienate possible allies. I can never side with Kami for things I have had done to me just because I'm karavan.
IE: Mob stealing, ganking, rez refusal. (I'm Human I'll harbor Ill will against those that have wronged me, I know you didn't kill the real me, but killing my avatar when I was only trying dig, or stealing mobs that I'm tanking, takes away from my enjoyment, the whole reason I'm here, and is essentially an attack on my happiness
, especailly bad when I try to talk to them about it and they won't listen). I know there is some of it on both sides but it's silly.
Op battles will always go on, as long as there is a desire for what they have to offer. I'm sure if we took the time to get some heads of both sides together we could come to some reasonable OP battle guidelines, without haveing to change the game mechanics. I also see it as unreasonable to want to change the game for something the players can solve. Stop being lazy, if you don't like being attacked at certain times, discuss it with everyone involved don't go runing off to god like figures to solve problems you can handle
.
It is very true that most do not want constant OP battles, I'd like to have a week to play without getting interrupted. As these battles continue on it will just become a battle of who's ranks get tired first. I'm fine with the consequences of Op battles personally, you either adapt, leave or try to change it. I don't have the time nor desire to change whats going on, so I chose to adapt and accept whats going on (these things happen, I can either become a whinny 5 year old or I can just play
). If so many are against certain things like multiple attacks, and early morning declares, try to come to some agreement about, it instead of insulting back and forth, and makeing false accusations of one another. Adapt, Change it, or Leave.
