Why Giving land away is Bad aka Small Faction TW

Crow since you brought this up I will use it as my exp---

DF has one player that has a R9 Psy his alt and a R9 Barb his main ( last I checked ) He cannot play both toons during a TW. What does this tell us. It tells us that there are only a Finite number of PLAYERS in PWI. We have 10,000 toons on the Server and very high number of 100+ R8 or R9 toons yes, but only so many players. I would not want to wager the true number of 100+ R8, R9 Players, but I think that it is less than 750 total ( may be wrong, we'll never know ).

SO where does that leave us. The map currently has 4 factions holding land. Let’s take an real look at the players. If we are being really generous about how many show up for TW...the factions together only have about 500 of the total player base ( yes I know we truly do not know what the player base is ). I cannot speak for the other factions but if any of them tell you that they can every week hold a 125+ man TW force, someone is LIEING. (side note-We TW factions do keep count of who is in what guild and we all do have a rough figure in our heads of how many players there are. That is what allows us to forecast our strats)

We already know that we have 10 small factions evident the gank on Levi. If each of those factions as DF has 30 members that can TW, hell call it 40. That is 400 more players to the total available.

400 small factions 500 TW factions = 900 total players available for TW. But wait my personal belief is that there is less than 750 TW players on this server. How can this be? Am I wrong somewhere? Well the simple true is there is a better chance of having 400 small faction TW players then there is of the 4 current TW factions having 500 players available.

What does that tell us. Well even if all ten of the small factions band together to make 4 new factions, then there could be enough other factions to hold land. 8 total.

Point is us LETTING you have land is nothing more that charity. Why do we TW. To measure what faction is the strongest on the server and to have fun killing each other over them win or lose. That is why it is so looked down on to gloat, talk bad things about other factions in WC. Yes it happens and that is horrible, but we try to curb it ( Well some factions do, not trying to bash QQ just trying to make a general statement and more than QQ is guilty of bashing in WC ).

Why does the player want to TW. Some want to be a General in charge and leading a fight. Some want be able to KILL players without the risk of PVP. Some just want to be in a FACTION holding land. But one thing is true among all of them, they all WANT to WIN, or at least have FUN trying. We strive for the challenge of becoming better. Would you play PWI if you started at level 100 could only level to 105 and your gear from day one was R8. Where is the effort or the fun in that. Again charity is not the answer.

SO time for the 4 current TW factions to be selfish a bit here. We know that we do not want to weaken our factions in any way. Start to lose members or land every week. So where are the replacement players for OUR factions going to come from. We all know that players come and go. SWITCH factions for fun sake. People have Real Life and go AFK for week months at a time. Where do we find replacement to fill back in OUR ranks? Our members want to be able to continue to play the game and have fun. We don’t want to lose our land either, we are proud of what we have done.

Answer= Smaller factions have big fish in their ponds and those big fish become smaller fish in a bigger pond. And Bigger fish eat smaller fish that is the way of life.

That was a nature example, now a real life economics example.

Socialism wants us all to play nice and fair. We share with everyone and we do not take more than what we need. We the strong take care of the weak. We the strong are Taxed by letting our lands which we worked for, to be given away to those that cannot do it themselves.

Capitalism tells us much like in nature the strong survives and the week parish. Vicious has 80 players we can TW with every week. 65 of them are R8 or R9. 15 are lesser gear tt99. When a new product come to market and has better reviews than an old product, that product sales faster than the old product. Then the store owner has to decide which product he wants to devote more storage too so he can make money. Soon the old product is discounted and sold off to make room for the new product. In time the better product of smaller guilds will want to be sold to the customer, and the store keeper will then decide if he wants to keep lesser product aka the 15 in tt99 and discount them out of playing TW in favor of newer better geared product. IF we never brought in new product our store WILL FAIL.

So by GIVING land away for free to lesser factions, not only are we encouraging competition for our supply of players, we are in fact making way for a WALMART to come into our town and shut down the local business and solely dominate the map.

Thoughts?
