If you had a response you'd be responding with a bit more enthusiasm. .
Not really, it's a playstyle I hated years ago, moaned about in factions, and would be ironic if I adopted it now. I cannot be more specific, because if we did it, it would give our gameplan away. But sure, I can be not enthusiastic about it, as I'm not in a hurry to adopt the latest FOTM templates, or even in this case, create them - which we are perfectly capable of doing which you don't appreciate.
Thing about you "elite" pvpers, is you don't give anyone else credit, we've been successful with our pvp teams and various styles, for almost 20 years, more than you elite guys, we've seen it all before, we chose not to play certain things.
I don't think you PvP a lot. I think you think you PvP a lot. W are casual pvpers, which is fine, we expect you to be on the lower end of the skill scale[as a general overall guild] pvp wise than Vp and PRO because you do a hell of a lot of PvM. Your response is numbers and numbers make a big difference in open play, you pushing a 3 tile wide corridor isn't playing to a teams strengths vs experienced players. .
When I play, I PvP a lot, it's basically what I play for, I PvP, or find PvP - I'm very talented at that, I don't just pvp against you, and I don't pvp in Yew, or on Atlantic.
I usually prefer objectives, and I pvp against all the guilds out there, not just you.
Sure I'm quiet right now, and sure, as a guild we don't pvp non-stop, we play the entire game.
Right now, we hardly PvP, we don't consider the current PvP style fun.
You can keep banging on about how all we need to do is adapt, and use weapons, but it's not our style.
I don't appreciate all the dismount, lethal poison, splinter, deathstrike, stealth, etc etc, there is no skill to any of that.
VP have basically become that guild that is not worth pvping against, because you are no fun.
If you wanted PvP, you should split your guild in half, then you'd be a match for each other, and the same size as us.
I don't understand how you get "ripped apart by dexers". We have 2x Melee dexers in the group regularly, Hemmingway and H'sai. Neither of which dismount. If you played sensible, you wouldn't get ripped apart so often. Fielding "buying you time" is only good if theres an objective.
You don't see Bon Bon [PRO] or Nightmare[PRO] killing anyone solo ever and pretty much all our mages have either mage weapon or a weapon in hand now, zero parry mages.
You never heard the expression "The best defense is a good offense"? Get some template variety in your team, play in ways you can use to your advantage and don't give up for 2 days every time you lose a fight.
Ask anyone, you are that Dexxer guild.
Talia, Ed Marlo, Hsai, Hemmingway, Europa Sux, Braska, gHoSt, Schmoopy!, Zorg,
And back to the mages using weapons - not happening for me - for me, that's the main thing that the last pvp patch screwed up, it killed off pure casters.
I would rather quit than use a weapon on a mage.
