The top of landgrab, and probably the most visited one, I Think was when Kim visited the landgrab (and also kept people from spawning vehicles in the zone). There must have been 50+ people at fort at that time, not only the two sides but also a Group of spectators who just enjoyed the show. Getting rid of vehicles at claim rod, and putting turret at fort entrance was good things, I Think. Also, even for defenders, someone "friendly" bringing in tons of mobs to "clear the claim" was annoying, after all those mobs remained...

This comment gets the absolute strangest post (again from someone i have no idea who he is)
The terminator was for sale for a very long time, I'm sure BA was speculative buyers but just missed the purchase somehow.
The imbalance is actually what makes the game pretty balanced. Skill beats nonskill. Gear bets useless gear and pvp irl skills beats dumbness.
Thats it for me hopefully!

Why would the LG winners want a revolution...
...it is apparent that they want no change at all for competition's sake...and whose to blame them...it is now apparently free to LG because there is limited opposition for the above stated reasons...so 5-6 weeks of LG payouts for minimal cost...who wants opposition...status quo is cheaper...and here we go again with this apparent preclusion that just because an upper level player 'doesnt know' someone that they can't have a valid point...seems to be a pattern...seem a bit elitist...my only knowledge of one of the avatars in question was PKing people in the PVP area of the Cyclops Depths and pissing them off because they could not reach the Mind Reavers and simply enjoy playing...real classic behavior...more bully than elite...

Ofcourse people wonder who you are, since you are talking about something you have never been part of, and just making weird assumptions based on nothing.
And how should LG be changed in your opinion? Weakest society wins? The society with least people on claim wins?
By the way, do...you...have...to...type...like...this?

Got my first ever neg rep for this post! Lol oh well can't please them all.Kinda have to agree with this. If your enemy is steadfast and undefeated then throw convention out the door and outsmart them. Victory is for those who don't know the words fear, can't, or quit.
Or come to the gates with 100 more then them.

Haha this may be getting off-topic but imo a low forum rep can be a very good thing. It means you say things people don't like to hear, possibly things that need to be said. As Churchill would say, if you have enemies it means you actually stand for something.
Of course this is not always the case

Lol I would love to see this. 500 player team against WSS would make for great fun.Why dosnt u all make a WSS haters thread, gatherer together and make a team and go in PvP4 and make some action!
That was what I was suggesting. Not only would this be fun for WSS but also for those who are in the team! I think a well organized team, like ones for merry mayhem, would kick some serious butt. Unfortunetly, the atmosphere now in EU is less social and more solo, so this won't happen anytime soon.

well there is only 1 way to make it possible agenst a team, and thats not solo.
people said BA was impossible to remove from LG, MA had to change to longer time so it was worth a effort and than getherer a good team.
its not lost until u give up.
(btw iv been in both m2s and DoA)

Is it possible to take the WSS spider LA with 200 decent players?
Make a soc, call it "Land Grab", and I'll join for a laugh with some fat strike chips.
Players: Please note your interest here.
I'm sure my soc leader 'Fort' wont mind me leaving the soc temporary to see if we can win it, hell he might join too.

Cool if a decent enough response, I'll make a new hiring thread.
We need min 100 I guess, what do you think?
So funny....the general player base up against a few ubers.....it's do-able.

Can only get a chip at Level 40, it does 340 damage, probably 680 with crit. Not sure how it would stack up against mega armour or multi targets. But sure it could make a dent or two.
more players needed.

Personal attacks on my...
...posting style is all the assuredness I need that the validity of points made is beyond your refutation...all the weird assumptions assumed by you are countered by all the positive rep I've received for my discussion and is appreciated...continue making personal attacks if you like...although Im not sure why you want to discuss with someone who has no possible understanding of what the problem is, is apparently beneath your comprehension, and making weird assumptions based on nothing...actually I have listened to both sides...and I think I understand both sides...someday I may come out and see what its like but it doesn't sound like something anyone would want to do repetitively for all the reasons outlined...LG is essentially a player designed event...i.e. the basic layout of sides is designed by the players...one side has lopsided the field so much that the other side has lost interest somewhat in the event...Jon Moe Snow essentially laid out this issue in as numerical a fashion as it probably could be laid out in one of his posts...so HE is well aware of the imbalance...so it has become essentially you guys standing around to claim rod with no competition...if that is the spirit of champions then rock on for you...if you are here to have fun with fellow players and make a game of it then organizing teams like say you would in dodgeball or basketball in the 6th grade...two best captains then one pick each alternating would seem a hell of a lot more fun than the system you have...but then...its not about fun its about money...that's the real truth. (BTW, if it helps...periods represent pauses...if you want to substitute spaces for the last two periods then do it mentally...its a forum post not 7th grade grammar class...although if you want to have a grammar lesson we can do one if you like)
Also, you asked me how I would make it better? Its not my problem...the problem has been outlined...imbalance...how are you going to make it better? Or really is it as good as you can imagine it because claim rod claimed>>>no competition? Spirit of Champions! Hay-el yeah!
and you can count me in Rick but im currently off planet...piddling...I imagine theres enough peeps out there to create Utter Chaos(LG team name?) in the next LG...

in that Point, i think YES. The Terminator makes a big part of the success in LG´s.
Not because of the damage itself, but i know of alot ppl that Support Jon ONLY because they want to get the hands on the Terminator during Events... and as u can see in the MM results... the Plan works for them.
On the other Hand... if ist not the Terminator... it would be another gun that holds top damage, Jon Moe would buy it, and all the guys would kiss his ass and support him where they can to get the gun during Events...
as Long as MA doesnt change the imbalance, it will always happen like that.
You have Three players:
All Three have weapons doing say 130 dmg/shot.
Player A: Marber-Bravo class. 13 attacks/minute.
Player B: Same kind of weapon doing ~20, attacks/minute.
Player C: Same damage, ~40 attacks/minute.
Now rank the Three players above, when it comes do doing two shots in a row Before opponent faps and optionally the chance to get in a "second" shot in case the player has moved since original aiming. In same way, rank them in how many hits you can in the time your weapon reloads, to be able to reach for the fap.
Also rank them in what "tier" they are likely to be, given the natural opportunity (given, for instance the likelyhood of finding a mob to shoot at with the weapon in question vs damage delt by the mob in question and the cost to use the wepaon during that process, given economy, efficiency and cost in defense decay), of tier grinding and how often, in terms of "tier-ups/hour" or something (during continous use). (Hint: attacks/minute.)

It's not imbalanced. LAs have been lost before, it's all about how strong team you are willing to gather. Rick understands this, that you actually have to make an effort to win.
Edit: I was not trying to insult you, I just meant that your long posts are hard to read without paragraph grouping, and all those dots.

In my experience things can change very quickly. When I joined WInterfell - later to become WhySoSerious - they owned no land area - BA had them all - and during that period BA had about 80 members at one Land Grab; which was generally thought to be to many to beat. Winterfell/WhySoSerious then took all the lands; a lot of those fights were very close and difficult and nowhere near a "walk over" as you suggest.
BA then nearly reclaimed all the lands; again there was many tough and close fights which I was part of. I haven't been part and parcel of the recent LGs, but I was told the lag totally ruined them. It's very hard to remove people from a claim marker with so much lag.
While I think WhySoSerious is the strongest it's ever been right now, I wouldn't by any stretch of the imagination say it's a total imbalance and a "walk over". The spider land is the only one people take seriously, no pun intended, so a lot of LGs are quiet because of that fact.
