I think you will find i have been massed by TL for fewer hits on you, than it takes for DDE to mass me. Also, DDE are making more of an effort to keep this game bringing in, and keeping new players than yourselves in TL. Their members try to suggest ways to help new players, it seems TL then shoot them down, and try to get updates to make themselves stronger.
It always seems dde is full of new ideas and suggestions only when their ingame needs dictate it. Or do you really think the bright idea of separating ascended and main servers came to them for any other reason than having half of their members descended in a war lol? etc. etc. Its always the same with people of the old guard, no matter the tags. Philanthropy is nothing but a thin thin veil.
It would also seem dde maintained a 1hit=mass policy for as long as they could enforce it while it's a fact TL always tolerated fair hits that weren't excessive alliance page farming. However it is probably true that you can get away with hitting dde more nowadays since there is noone there watching the logs anymore. Instead they have you pointing out to people how they're the boogeyman not worth the risk.... and the mother Theresa of GW at the same time... lol?
I mean come on. Most of us here have been around for years. It's a bit of a stretch to sell the group that with its aggressive play style, consistent "we touch you don't touch us" policy and tendency to form server life choking coalitions ala GA/COP/FUA as THE constructive force in GW.
For the vast majority of people who have been around the GW block newbies and "noobs" picking apart DDEs body would land nothing short of epic poetic justice and irony par excellence.
Play the game as it should be played, hit everyone, don't let yourself be intimidated. The few egos that cant accept that are on their way to a new game, pending doing as much damage here as possible, anyways.
