Firstly to all the people saying people aren't leaving the game because of the lack of OP battles.. please read the actual post. The post was primarily to address those people who think like that, of which I know there are many. I made this topic for 3 reasons:
1) To basically tell all the people who complain about the situation that if you want something to change, the OP battles are a PvP mechanic, and you will need to put some effort in. If you don't want to put effort in, stop complaining.
2) To show the Kara that it still can be done and point out kami-kara always fluctuate.
3) To get everyone else views on the current situation at hand.
Yes Bina, alts are part of it however a conversation about alts will just get messy (feel like I'm having to repeat myself a fair bit here). I could for example point out Yorran, from what I saw, was in control of more alts than Yakapo at the last war I attended. Now that would be controversial that many people wouldn't have known about would they?? Stop bashing Yakapo for the love of Ma-Duk.
Well VNC at least I am trying to do something about situation rather than hiding behind alt names to insult people on the forums. At least be brave enough to say things on your real account. As for being smug, as I have said many times, either players banter is misinterpreted, or it was in response to the untagged yelk dragging which was illegal.
VC at one OP battle over Loria 15 launchers wiped the other side (who did have a fairly large force) in under a minute.
VC and Arturia, I know of many karas that share accounts. People seem to point at kamis saying "Oh wow look they do this! This is wrong!", completely forgetting it happens within their own faction just as much.
Naema when you scatter and spread out you loose the efficiency of heal bombs which when concerning large numbers is very necessary. When the marauders PvPed with large numbers they always stayed alive granted but, in my opinion, due to the lack of a heal pod or heal bombs they weren't efficient enough to do any real damage.
Helgah no you shouldn't leave. One of the points I am making is that if you don't want to engage in OP battles and put some effort into them, then they probably aren't something you should be rating the game on. That would be like someone saying "Oh I can't get a q250 Kami Skirt because other people kill me so I can't earn points off them. This sucks I'm going to leave the game".
Gilgameesh I would completely disagree that PvP is the main focus of Ryzom. Being a PvPer myself there are actually very little opportunities to PvP compared to that of PvE and RP. People seem to be attributing the lack of OP wars or the dominance of one faction in OP wars as the downfall of the game. It is just a simple PvP mechanic. Yes politics took control for quite some time. It doesn't have much say these days thats all.
