My 2 cents on the 30 defence ordeal
Why has any sort of defence have ever been tolerated in the pure community?
For the pay to play bonuses. First off it was 20 defence for mystic, rune gloves and initiate armour. Then it was 30 defence for the handcannon, turmoil and w/e you mains use. What are the chances that the whole community stops fearing the consequences, grows some balls and bans 30 def?
Honestly, not good. With many people getting defence to help out their clans and then getting booted for it, it would create an outrage and we'd lose a lot of valued members of this community. Also, people are too stubborn to accept that it's wrong. So what's the proposition?
Mandatory 1 def gear for f2p trips. What's your reasoning behind such a preposterous proposition? If you got 30 def for p2p bonuses, then make sure they stay in that server
one defence armour is far lighter than mith or addy, you can return faster and you can move around longer in wars
Many top clans such as MM/FOE in the HPC bracket and NME in the MPC bracket are doing better than most of you and they don't use addy.
In a previous topic it said that 70% of people don't think 30 def is pure. This would be a first step towards earning their respect and possibly getting new applicants
better mobility in the wild
a display of maturity and cooperation that could go a long way in healing this community
less head on fights, more binders, more interesting and demanding fights
What about clans that rely entirely on their defensive bonuses to compete?
There are only a few clans who are in such a situation and sadly they influence a lot of the other ones. The reality of this is that it works both ways. IF everyone agreed to this the def clans would eventually be subdued by the rest of the community. LOL nerd na 30 def #1, we pwn u noob lmao
Also, anyone who wears addy to f2p is gay.
Reference (sorry for the bad quality, could find anything better): What about p2p?
Lets take it one step at a time
