It doesn't, actually. It's a lot harder, of course, but the trick to balancing fights regardless of how large or chaotic they might be is to react. Look at how the fight develops. You should be good enough at the game to judge how it's going to end. If you see that your side is starting to dominate, begin pulling players out. The sooner you notice, and the sooner you act, the better. This requires discipline both on the end of the shot-caller and the ends of the players they're telling to stand down, which is often an "order" players are hesitant to follow. People love shooting shit. Nobody's asking for perfection, but there's a difference between perfection and not even bothering to try.

I'm really just talking about averages here. I'm aware that Aegis is more than just a collection of aces.

There were many times where 404th would openly log in numbers to shoot us and they enjoyed that gave them something to work for skill wise. So I don't see where or what or who we've driven out of the game as you are potentially insinuating that, but apart from one group of people I don't see nor have I been approached about having issues with Aegis the bounty hunter faction.
And that's perfectly fine. There's a very distinct difference between vets hunting weaker players down, and players going out of their way to pick fights with more skilled players. They're basically rising to the challenge, and it's a great way to learn. Good for them. It's not them I'm worried about losing, but rather the players that get sought out themselves or who have their fight crashed by a overwhelmingly stronger group of players, reducing their chances of winning to zero. I also don't think you're bullying players off the server -- I'd have simply said that if I believed you were. Though you might be doing more damage, at times, than you're aware of.
