Wars and Farming

Found out there was a war in ascension...not a clue who it is, as I can't make sense of the Galactic Colisseum...and honestly, it's not my responsibility to keep track of every fracking player's allegiances and wartime activities...



So, on behalf of all of us who aren't vultures, but just regular joes trying to get by...



Please put a note somewhere obvious, let us know you're at war...





And if you're not...suck it up, people get attacked...and if they aren't doing it repeatedly...it's not farming...


That's the way the game is played, and I wonder how people who don't understand that ever ascended...



:roll:

I don't claim to be a regular joe, but I also don't claim to avoid farming. You can be in as many wars as you want to be in to make you happy. If you can't defend your DMU and you collect enough to tempt me, then it does not matter to me if you are in a war or not. Or to be more precise I will add one more war to your list.

Good luck trying to do safe farming Eternal Usul as every player has a different definition of an acceptable hit and acceptable frequency of attacks.
Pirates wander the verse and the loot lays thickly upon the common man.

Hallowed ARRRRRR the Orrrrrri!

Well no offense to you, but whats it matter if anyone is at war? You hit me and if I'm bored and have nothing to do I may mass you back.

As you say, suck it up.

You don't want to be massed then don't farm active accounts.

If you cant figure out from GC that there is a server war thats been going on for over 1 year now, I wonder exactly how well you even looked TBH.

Re: Wars and Farming

I don't really understand the whole problem. If you're in a war you would no doubt leave everything untrained to bore the other party into submission? lol there's one alpha account out there that's had 28 dmu sitting on it for about 6 months.

The way I see things I would rather have my dmu/naq taken by someone other than who I'm at war with. Can't see the point in handing over loot to my enemy.

But who am I to offer a logical, reasoned argument that will no doubt be shot down with the usual vulturing war nonsense from both sides :roll:

I sympathise with you Eternal Usal, but this is the environment we play in. If you can't handle it or tread carefully enough then put your account on vac.

Well I actually play a similiar tactic. I untrain overnight or when I'm away but I train when I'm around a PC.

Thing is I have stats, pretty decent ones at that. Normal hits from someone with stats don't bother me, its when someone builds up 1 time a week/month dumping all into a strike of 40 or 50 quad, farming all their AT away and walking away from the game for another 1, 2, 3, sometimes 4 weeks that aggervates me.

My issue isn't them hitting me, so much as it is them complaining about me attacking them...


I get hit every day...not that big a deal, I'm just tired of the whiney messages in my inbox...
