Raiders never get raided....

I just took a look at my military records since July 11 (when I acquired my current account), and noticed a gaping difference in the ledger:

Untrained Kidnapped........115,873,812
Untrained Lost..................29,688


That's an epic difference. Then I thought, since I raid so much and train so often, I very rarely get raided. I'm just wondering if this is a trait common amongst frequent raiders?

I'd imagine raiders know what raiders will look for, and therefore know what not to leave out. Also, most raiders have a defense, and raiders like to raid 0-def targets.

Re: Raiders never get raided....

Re: Raiders never get raided....

id say your right for the most part that raiders no better but youve obviously had some good luck as well as ill give a few examples of why i say that:

brokered someone for uu (whom said they were online) only to have it accepted after youve gone to bed.

massed (with raids) while raiding or sleeping (thus resulting in having UU out)

for me those are when i lose uu :'C

or of course when selling to someone over the trade limit :P

Re: Raiders never get raided....

well, considering that the ME is a zero-sum game, [spoiler]meaning, if you take the sum all of the UU raided from the entire server, and subtract from it the sum of all UU lost (also from the entire server) you get zero.[/spoiler] and that not everyone raid (espescialy inactives) than (statisticaly speaking), the heavier a raider you are, the bigger a gap there will be between your raided and lost. the raided/lost ratio would also be bigger. this of-course is dependent on time played, activity, some other factors, and pure dumb luck, but given enough time and players, a graph of raided Vs raided/lost ratio should show a nice inverse proportion curve. something like a 1/x curve.

Leaving out UU would be counterproductive for a raider. I also never willingly buy UU. I don't like the thought of losing 1% in a trade, so I don't have to deal with canceled trades. Any trades I do with UU, are for ATs and people usually broker me... therefore any UU pulled out for those trades is immediately gone.

Sigh... but I did have a 1.5m UP there for at least a year of the server war and I have willingly been raided by others for a few 100k UU at a time, when they 'mucked' up their ascended calculations :)
