Doesn’t matter who is in tier 8, Ioj, SF, kain etc. That server will destroy the other two, devona will destroy ET.
The only good thing is playing against odds helps you learn to play. Even odds, those on ET tend to destroy their opponents. Dev is a little better, but whatever the blob server is they get demolished even odds.
I have said it a bunch, to get better you have to play against better opponents or be fighting at much worse odds.
You can’t 30 v 5 and expect to get anything but sloppy which is why the top tier 8 servers people go down so easily.
I’d be happy if people didn’t just come into these matchups and behave with no class whatsoever. We had a battle in ET homeland this evening and Kain took an outmatched rather lengthy encounter and just behaved horribly after it was over. We were severely outmatched and we actually hung in there for much longer than most would have. But jumping on people who are downed and laughing in their faces is just classless and juvenile. These outmatched situations are really good experiences insofar as learning to optimize scarce resources. But to have to put up with this sort of behavior from Kain is just pointless and the server is just showing us right now that they lack positive leadership.
I’d really prefer that a large guild please not come to ET to make it their “project” as it has been suggested. We have a significantly tenured community there that you will either enjoy or not enjoy, but many who have tried to alter its character significantly have not really been successful. I do not speak for the server, but that has been my experience there and it has always been a positive one. Like anything else, there are ups and downs. In my experience, anyone who comes to ET and respects us we have welcomed with open arms and we stick up for each other, in an unfriendly fashion if necessary.

Alteros and Liston, agreed to both of you. Thank you.
My server has had, with the exception of last week, been mismatched badly on a consistent basis for at least a month. I understand that server populations can vary radically from one ranking to the next and that it must be extremely difficult to maintain a variety of matchups without lopsided scoring as a result. That I can live with. What I really take exception to is the behavior of players I have seen in some servers that are at the high end of the score for most of the week. And it’s getting worse. There is no need have to tolerate disrespect and taunting from other players when a score becomes a rout. People in every server have invested time and money in building up a guild or combat scenario that they want to continue to develop. Being subjected to ridicule by opposing players is what causes these mismatches to become a bigger issue than it needs to be. Nobody wants to be on the losing end of a battle if instead of treating opponents with respect and basic courtesy, they are subjected to abusive and taunting behavior. Any match between any server can be a good playing experience if there was a lot more respect than I have seen in recent weeks. There’s just no reason for it.
