Wake me up when QQme falls apart (again) and the game becomes fun (again).

Meh. I've seen this kind of thing happen on other games. Join the top or be left out of any chance to be at the top. One of 4 things happens:
- Server dies as anyone not in the elite group finds more interesting things to do (PvP are more prone to this then PvE environments). "WTT my coins here for your coins there" is a good warning signal if it's frequent that this is going on.
- Admins intervene and force a breakup to make the game more interesting for groups as a whole. Happened in other games. Don't think it'll happen here.
- The "elite" faction splinters due to internal squabbling, usually instigated by a few folk with huge egos (the proverbial epeen measuring contest - though with the amount of women in this game that metaphor doesn't fully apply). Usually this goes with enough shouting and namecalling that other factions become aware of the internal issues and a nice old gank ensues at the TW that follows it.
- The remainder of the other factions get organized and group-assaults, simply overwhelming the top dogs with numbers. The "swarm vs giant" tactic. Works as long as the pressure is kept up, but usually sets a lot of bad blood if one group is ganked repeatedly. Still, if that one group controls over half the map...

As if to prove Bhavyy point.



Wow butthurt much. I hope THIS helps you out.

Wait a second, did he lie? No he didnt. You make yourself look like the one in need of the "Tucks"...ijs. I dont hate QQme, Levi, or any other faction I have been in. I had fun for a short while in them all.

I dont see the point of a discussion, if truths will be denied just to save a false sense of respectability. Then again, what is the point of saying anything negative about ANY top TW group, when no faction is innocent?

No one faction or even player is responsible for the way things are. PW is responsible. They will make their game available to more people when and if they feel like it. They obviously do not feel like it. b:chuckle

All they really need to do is lower the cost of their best items to something affordable, but that is impossible it seems. Those that buy-their-win obviously plan to keep buying it forever, and that's all that PW wants or needs.

Since you will all be seeing each other in NW/TW for many more years, you might as well learn to like each other, right?

It is what it is, afterall. And until a well off player wants to buy the game into 'something better' - it would seem it will remain what it is, too. *shrugs*

I did not suggest that he did lie but what purpose does that post serve in this thread other than to rehash a two year old grudge which is an example what Bhavyy posted that players need to get over with.

This is not about QQme, it is about any faction that hold the top position. Why must the top faction splinter or dissolve to make way for a 'new' top faction as the thread title suggests?

I'd argue that upcoming/rebuilding factions need to work together to gearing up, identify and remove inactives, and recruit new members but for whatever reason they don't.

This is exactly why TW is so boring. There is no one to rebuild factions with. Where do you think players that are going to compete with the gear and numbers are going to come from when there is so very few who are new to the game joining our server and of these people even less play the game to the point where they WANT to have a competitively geared character. Of these people there are EVEN LESS that actually CAN and even less that DO.

If rebuilding was that easy it wouldn't have taken QQme 2 years to do it. Let's not forget QQme also had the help of new members joining from the coincidental "splintering" of Zoo and Wanted.

Faction-splintering is necessary for another faction to rebuild. They're one and the same thing, 2 faces of the same coin, cause and effect. It's written all over PWI history across the servers. This is probably the most simple fact that people don't seem to understand about TW on a game that isn't growing anymore. Better distribution is the key to better TWs. Some people just seem to prefer putting other priorities higher than fun. People also seem to think leaving a faction means you can't be friends with people in that faction anymore or play the majority of the game with those people anymore as if their faction name is some sort of binding contract of exclusiveness... lol@thosepeople.
