Let’s keep it clean in here. All three servers deserve to be here. They are all good Tier 2 material (or better even).
I do want to comment to the gentleman talking about taking TC last night from 40 defenders. That was well done. There are some things you need to understand from our viewpoint on TC.
1 – We spent most of the night defending from two very powerful servers on each side of the map. Often at the same time. It is extremely hard to defend from both SoR and BG NA primetime on TC BL.
2 – After a long defense at Bay and Garrison, our supplies and forces had dwindled.
3 – Our leadership was tired and some of them had already gone to sleep.
I’m not taking away from your accomplishment at all. Especially since you did give us credit for holding out so long. The credit should actually be given to the crew that defended the Bay from both BG and SoR repeated assaults on both outer and inner.
We know how to handle the portal bombs and stacking. A level 17 Elementalist can alone cause those strategies some problems. Throw in the rest of our forces now fully aware of them, and you will find that we have learned a little bit about it this week. I still think it is a silly strategy and the only success on Friday night was due to some of us being ignorant on how to avoid it. Consider that fixed!
The other thing is this continued push to get us to focus SoR or BG from one person or another. I’m sorry, it just isn’t possible (and if it was, I doubt we would do it unless one or the other server did something so bad that we were angry at them enough to do it). A major reason for not being possible is that SoR or BG is constantly attacking us (as they should be) with no quarter given on our home borderland. Don’t ask us to stand down and then bring a zerg to our Bay or Garrison. If you want us to focus on one or another, then use your own strategy to maneuver us into doing it. Brute force isn’t going to do it. Use your strategy to change the turn of events to your favor. Or, you could bring a zerg to Bay for 5 hours straight. That is squarely in your own hands, as it is in ours when we are on other maps. The more likely turn of events is that SoR or BG will see weakness because one or the other is attacking soandso area in our BG and attack us in another area because they don’t think we can defend both. A good strategy if not a predictable one, and a very hard thing to defend.
So just keep in mind, in our own borderland, we are fighting for our lives tooth and nail to defend what territory we can. There is no bias or preference and any tactical decision on who we attack is squarely based on who is attacking us and where.
Thanks to BG and SoR for providing one of the most exciting nights ever last night.

Don’t miss me too much when I go into tier 1.
