are more of the older generation players leaving more than coming back? from what I've seen on the boards it's true. I see people that were around for a long time quitting left and right now, the end game scene seems to be slowly diminishing. I wonder if the new generation of people will change the "blackened" reputation of this server's english population. would be nice to hear of somthing like that.
 
doubtfull, most of the up and coming are dumbasses that put the perfect picture in others eye's of why NA {Too Weak}
I do my part, but endgame is so time restrictive its hard to manage with my shotty work schedule. I'm sure people are learning the roles, but as far as any view changing it isn't gonna happen because the people that set those opinions are training those to follow in there footsteps.
 
Scuse me, what's wrong with our NA? Blackened reputation huh?
 
We don't get much done end game? O.o who other than Kaizen has killed a wyrm? who has killed a king within the last month? not many NA that's for sure. Maybe 2 shells? I think that's what he means. How many NA LS take on and successfully kill the Jailors in Sea? 2? Ya...

I downed KB twice in the past week with HNMLS...but you all will complain that it's not all NA.........../cry =P
 
Blackened meaning we're a peon in comparison to other servers, exception being Kaizen who is one of the top 5 HNMLS in the game.
 
Delta Enforcers were rocking pretty hard in the Ballista tourney last I saw. That along with Kaizen should say something possitive about our servers' NA population. The JP on our server just zerg stuff for the most part anyways, where the NA tend to be more tactical is their kills. Didn't Loveless completely empty out Dynamis-Bastok with only 30~something people? As far as I can tell, the NA on our server are running strong.
 
Actually Tymon most of the old school players are coming back. Please see the DrgAsh thread. Some of the best people on the Quetzy server are back in our graces again.

Granted, they had to start their characters over again from scratch, but I have total faith they'll be rockin' our socks within the next few months.
 
not putting down kaizen bc they are a strong ls (prolly one of the best on our server)but ive been told by a few people from other servers that some of the worst HNM ls are doing as good as kaizen is doing. I think this is what tymon might be talking about, that we should be doing alot more than what we are doing and its not happening bc the new players coming up have no skill (just try and hit 75 as fast as humanly possible). And like only 1 ls killing wyrms etc (what ele was saying).

Just for reference_ http://www.theorderls.com/bigkill.php

It is also important to take note of which LS' actually have picture proof of their kills and drops. While there are a fair amount of LS with alot of points, Kaizen does rate pretty high. In reguards to people from other servers talking about the actions of our servers LS.... You really think they are gonna tell you their servers' suck? Consider it how people support their local sports teams reguardless of how much they suck. At least in this case, the numbers are readily accessable, and you can see that what your friends were telling you was BS.

sadly.. they are only back until that expansion on WoW Comes out D:

and Dowzer... that's not NA :P so it doesn't count. Though I do like the fact that NA and JP can work together ^^ it looks good imo

tactical? From what I've seen most use SMN zerg and BLM zerg to kill things XD
 
whoops x.x stupid double posts
 
i dont get what you are saying...Kaizen isnt even in the top 10. And what i was saying isnt BS. I didnt say Kaizen sucked, i just said that on other servers there are alot more linkshells doing all the things they do, and that its a shame more ls arent doing it on our server. :/

You said they compared to some of the worst LS' on other servers, thats all I was saying was BS. The worst HNM LS aren't even up there and you can see how they compare to the rest of the servers. The link was mearly a source for you to make your own conclusions with more than just the heresay of some other LS. And once again, look at the kills of the people in the top10 and check how many of them actually have proof of their kill. I'm not saying they are the best, just that they are by no means average or comparable to the sub-par.

That's a better tactic than getting spikeflailed and wiping because you had 5 tanks voking from all sides of a Wyrm. Tactics don't have to be overly complex, in fact it just makes people who fail look even worse when that's all it takes... but then Tiamat is easy right? ^^

If you think we zerg things, you might need to pay a little more attention. Using a lot of one job on something is not the same as zerging it. ~_~

And Kaizen was actually #5 the night before they added the Jailors to the points list, but we all know how fun it is to get Virtues and whatnot in Sea ... =/

Actually, Quitita is pretty much right. When it comes to Land HNM, every LS on the more NA populated servers, has done everything, even the shitty ones have at least 3 E Body Abj/Dalmatica or whatever abjurations in their linkshells. How many do we have minus Kaizen? 2, maybe 3 altogether.

I blame the people that leave linkshells once they've gotten everything from sky. No Linkshell is ever gonna leave sky if they always have tons of new members every week. Just stick with one shell, it makes no sense to have been in more than 3 like some of you... Not only that but I'm pretty sure this server was one of the first servers to be made, and it doesn't have a generic FF Fanboy named that everyone would flock too, so you're bound to see the JP dominating it.
 
NA is just as good as any JP... if not better. JP arent these super gods.. they are just normal people just like us. Some are good and some are bad but in the end you can't just judge a community of people and say one is worse because that is speaking for everyone. We all have out personal opinions but in the end, I say we're just as good as anyone else.
 
Commitment Determination Motivation- big three things all needed to make a successful linkshell, lack one you're only mediocre at best.
