It's short, really : we're getting really fed up with ganks and unsportsmanlike behaviour.
Recently, a BPA, I forget which, had no qualms about piling up on a perfectly fair fight, with particularly crude RP.
And just now (I know, I neglected the sandwich rule), one BAF|MN whom I won't name joined up a 5vs3 brawl in Dublin. It had started perfectly nicely as a 3v3 between MRG and SCRA, then another showed up... Then a gunboat, and then this guy. Who was focused rapidly, started moving away, hugged the Eldorado POB which naturally got shot, cloaked, went to restock, came back, got focused again, cloaked and presumably restocked before he returned.
I wouldn't know. I died in between to absolutely ludicrous odds.
As I mentioned to Steiner not long ago, these events have been rapidly increasing ever since I asked my members to focus more on Bretonia than Liberty. It made sense inRP, it made sense ingame, and truthfully we all got tired of the bad vibes that permeate most fights in Liberty. It started well, but more and more, Bretonia is turning into a second liberty in regards to fairness and sportsmanship.
On behalf of the MRG, I would like to see this adressed in one way or another. Other than "LOL BUT U GANK 2", mostly because our average concurrent player number simply does not allow us to do so, even if we tolerated it.
Thanks.
I'm not BAF but I fly with them every other day. This is whining. We all know how it works. A fight breaks out, both sides put out word and hope for more to join. Both sides do what they can. Whoever can show up does. It works out how it works out. Sometimes 'balance' can be favored but it all comes together fast and last minute. You shouldn't always have to go easy on the other guys. We all take responsibility for being caught in a battle we can't get out of. If you want balance, assemble a force first. If combat has broken out, we all know its a free for all. I haven't bothered to comment on MRG feedback but it seems appropriate to mention here we all get outnumbered after a fight has broken out eventually. Go for balance before a fight, ask the other players to hold off and do it organized. Otherwise, 'sportsmenship' in this case seems like pier pressure to psychologically force the other side to let you have it. I doubt there is much thought put into these situations, things happen fast in this game. Not everyone plays this for 1v1 or 3v3 in the live environment. You want even matches, that's what Conn is for. New players do not come here to get yelled at for joining up with their guys in a fight. I've never seen MRG or any gallic players hold off in similar situations.

When I came here, that was called skill. If you can get out, dock without it being PVP death, and get back in the fight, that's great! Its almost like...war? That which we are emulating? That's why people come here to play. Besides, you expect BAF, even indie, players to ignore MRG and Coalition fighting in Bretonian space in the interest of your balance? That's oorp to me.
