It really is a matter of perspective. I fully agree.

When I was 14 I bought my 1st car. It was awesome piece of machinery. I had loads of fun and went anywhere I wanted. Oh wait... by the time I bought my third car, I recalled what a piece of junk the first one was and it often left me broke down on a back road.

Perspective changes with experience and time. It can be true last nights pvp were fun. To a degree, I do agree but from my perspective its barely a shell of what I know it can be.

Let's examine this. Who ever said heal stacking is a sign of intelligence is a full on dimwit. Heal stacking may prolong a fight but it in no means offers a better quality fight. It offers more points on a single engagement and that is all. Does more points equal more fun? Yes, perhaps for those who value rank. How ever if rank is all that is wanted why bother and just stay on after prime time and farm rank like many in those very raids do each night.

Further Heal stacking doesn't make pvp better it merely allows noobs to remain noobs longer. Bludgeoning WL's who repeatedly run back individually again and again is foolish. Especially if they are leading the raid. I can't count how many times I see this night after night. Consider this, Had all those heal stacked players been on Reavers and BA's those fights would have had better results for the Creep faction. This is a long proven fact. DPS Wins fights.

Moving along on the pvp front. Exploiting the map. It is bad to teach new players to do this. I watched Freeps and Creeps alike both employing the same exploit again and again last night. They know who they are and what they are doing so no need for me to explain and further degrade the quality of Landy pvp.

After the raid fact. Freep players flipping to creep offering thanks in a hidden guise of passive aggressive trolling, openly admitted by a known Freep raid/target caller. You know Bro, that's sad. Just for record bait trolling is equally a violation of the rules. Also gloating about point gains is all unfounded ego mongering. Those meager gains are nothing to brag about. They are in fact the lower end of many pvpers gains while not caring about points in the pursuit of fun.


The pvp is slightly fun but for the most part it is predictable and boring. The same tactics day after day. (I'm not seeing the basic functions being performed by the Creep classes.) Doing the same things and never even consider there are loads of alternatives for the mildly creative person to follow through with. I'm not seeing creativity here. Creativity and producing the unknown. That is what makes pvp fun. Executing the unexpected and winning through is far better for raid morale and than zerging solos and telling the raid they did great afterward.

Step it up a few notches if you plan to make Landy pvp worth more than a footnote in LotRo.
