Just because half your numbers are stealthed, doesn't mean you don't have to push
This just goes out to all the wargs out there. Something I've noticed you like to do a lot is get a large warg pack going and sit around a fight while everyone is solo. Now to the freeps, it looks like there are more freeps, when in reality you outnumber us 2 to 1. So what do you do? You wait and let your fellow creeps die when they push, then when the freeps finally do push, you gank them.
There is a certain courtesy in the moors: whoever has more numbers or superior force should be the one pushing. Just because you can pretend like there's less of you than there really are, doesn't mean you can just wait around for the other side to push into your npc's when they're horribly outnumbered. It certainly doesn't make you good either, you're just taking advantage of your opponent giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Seen wargs ditch Soul several times this week

Is worser a word? ;) :D
Honestly, I feel bad when I KB Soul cause half the time other creeps are bailing on him to protect their stars, I can see him push, look around realize they stopped pushing and he's a... is hanging in the breeze. The other night 2 wargs were at EC woods, they got a couple killsl then 3 other freeps arrived at the same time rather than one by one and they pushed, wargs bailed on him and he died. Happened again, next thing I see, he's on ta lawn and pretty much by himself against the 4 of us. I really don't wanna zerg, so I wait to see if the wargs pop out, they don't the other 3 freeps zerg him, he dies, then they rush to lug rez and it's a pew pew fest. Over and over and over again, I see Soul doing what he can, as often as he can and the other creeps just don't seem committed, so I wonder what he's thinking this whole time cause nobody likes that, not me, not you and I'm sure he doesn't either. When Friz told his raid not to get Soul and push for Arrowz only, I was relieved. When Dahhu did the same, I was ecstatic, finally the guys hiding behind him won't get away yet again.
On a positive note, I was happily suprised to see and be pounced by a few wargs (mostly green) trying to save fleeing WLs, BAs and one reaver. Lunmaz said a warg has never pounced to save him. :/
Top gear vs typical player

Totally true, same in a different way can be said for creeps - non-p2w spiders, BAs and wargs and just new creeps in general come into pvp at a major disadvantage - audacity, cost in comms to get skills, audacity or anything and puts pressure on them to buy from the lotro store, especially (and likely) if they solo.
New players in general are at a disadvantage. Wendey was upset at being ganked over and over and over and people pointed out gear and she replied in OOC "I got the best I could - great river crafted armor" we pointed out that has no audacity. I don't think she knew at that point what audacity was.
This in effect deters new players which keeps the moors smaller in pop than it could otherwise be.
