around xmas time last year it was tib 48. out of order won that one but many players participated so using the holidays as an excuse for not being able to play wcs during that time is fraudulent we all know everyone will make time and no morale means kill one base a day and get it over with fast. its the best format for wcs as all the best teams will make center around the same time if there is no early pvp. and you guys can all get together and agree on who gets what before hand but make no mistake, that doesnt happen in a real game so its clear with 5000 available slots that the project ttd teams will be able to field many badged alt accounts, the best way to do that is to have them all ready to load the first minute that the server starts. now finally after all these years people are starting to see how this meta is evolving into a pile up on one side show. it doesnt make you a good player to understand the current meta and master it. it doesnt make you a good player if you have a gold badge because the majority of players play on the same team. economy and loot from farming and pvp should fluctuate so the meta doesnt get stale, now nobody wants to participate in servers unless they are on the winning side. sure some stay and fight for a while but thats how it goes, 500 people per server and not all get to win. i can see who keeps coming back year after year, server after server and i see all the same people together time and time again. wcs is no longer a valid arena for what constitutes a winning team or the best players. none of these servers are anymore. say what you want but i have clearly seen the improvement in the last year from project ttd players but ive also seen all the other teams collapse from the collection of all the most seasoned players collecting into one group and of coarse why shouldnt they. why shouldnt everyone all gang up on shaffa? its the only way to beat em. they have seen the improvements and can estimate the number of accounts against them and the tables have turned but once all of you collect to one side the table will become lopsided and topple. i will suggest for the very last time that you abandon the practice of allowing more than one fort kill and badge per server. make people actually use 50 player teams and make em smaller even if you have to. for the love of kane please consider this. you can erase all the server data and refresh it from begning just like the test server after the fort is killed, it will be easy to do. otherwise it will be soon over for TA and the willingness of people to compete against each other.
