Post Grab: How could we stop some greed?

[Meikura001]

Just tried that post grab thing for the first time. How is it that we get matched up with people who are at Titan skills? Now, I don't mind p*expletive*ing them off by moving from one spot to the next and flash the crystals with my color, but this is poor matched out in my opinion.

If this were a war game then we are all warring against the common enemy called lag and we are all losing badly like the food being played by cats. LOL

I always try to be a good game-izen & want everyone to feel happy and entertained while playing a social game.
It actually makes me feel really bad to beat up people less than half my BR, especially if they are new to the game and need some rewards to start with.
But since #12 justifies the obnoxious 'strategy' to prevent others from getting rewards and wants no peace for themselves, we're giving up hope for peace and would hold no remorse nor mercy for this time.

Why restrict the benefit to be one-sided if it could be mutual? Why give yourself and others hassle when you could save the day for both?
Those are the questions I don't see a normal person could answer, but I'm well aware that not every player is normal.
Likewise, I've seen people being very rude and wrongful towards a nice and weak player like my main is, and then go beg my alt to carry them through TOK, got ignored and whine like a baby saying big players don't care about small players.
If they bother to check others' and their own behavior, they might have the intelligence to notice we are the same person. And I really treat the weaker toon as my main because that's my social toon and the one to receive roses.
Big or small, we are here to play the game for fun. If you make others unhappy, the same unhappiness bounces back to you.

Nope, it's bloody LAG/BUG/SKIMP/SWIRLY-tune where it handles like a school bus to get anywhere, frustrates players to no end, and has meager rewards that probably don't amount to much now than it was years ago. Not to mention the tons of swirly based objects that don't want to die or disappear that is taxing on systems.

You'd be lucky if you can get a WAR going without it going like the 405 during daylight hours (can't say rush hour as it is clustered no matter what time of day, see "Carmageddon California").

it is not a D**K move it is called strategy even if they cant get rewards it stops other from getting rewards, if you aren't getting rewards join a guild that is. slowing people down from getting rewards and keeping up is strategy. this is War Tunes not share and peace Tunes

There should be a drop in rewards if you exceed 50 posts. That would stop it. I really wish you could see who ALL the guilds involved are. Then you can contact them, or maybe a rival guild on their server to smarter them up. But it's anonymous, which bullies love. Zero consequences to being a post grab bully.

Agree so much. They should change the rewards like this:
1-5 100
6-10 200
11-20 400
21-40 600
41-46 800
47-51 600
52-56 400
57-60 200
61 100
The winning team is allowed a "safety zone" of 5 extra posts, but if they are too greedy and don't stop after they have taken 46 posts, they would start losing rewards.
This can't guarantee fairness, as the remaining 18 posts could have a distribution of 16+1+1, but at least it could prevent one team from completely wipe out the rest.

I also feel like at a minimum we should see their server and guild name, and opponents should be able to talk to each other while fighting 1v1 in post grab. Fighting blindly like this is just awful.

Flip the script....Take all the posts and teach them

Doing it now. But really, we don't have time to join their troll show.
Initially, we took 3 posts from blue and 2 from purple, and left green alone, knowing they were greedy.
But then, green just kept attacking us when we were offline, until they took all our posts, and then took all posts from the other 2 colors.
Now we took back 21 posts and guard them on a rotation, but still lost for most of the time for being outnumbered.
We all work full time and travel a lot. It's very hard to make it to post grab in either time slots.
They should really consider the fact that people who spend would have to work and can't play this game 24x7.

We got tired of killing the 2 dozen alts owned by the same few people over and over for the whole session.
They occupied 61 posts for a few weeks. They obviously know that 41 posts and 61 posts give the same rewards.
They already got the max rewards (800 crystals per day) and we don't attack them, yet they still kept coming at us for no sane reason.
And they don't win any 1v1 fights against us.
For rewards or for wins, they have no gain and no good feeling to keep attacking us.
We just can't understand their mentality. Seems so troll-ish.
And they don't show up in BG or cross-server ranking, so we can't find them and talk to them.
It'd be good if we could talk to the opponents while fighting in post grab, but right now we can't.

Might be a bunch of over-enthusiastic newbies, potentially. They may not really understand that taking more than 41 posts is just a d--k move, and like winning the pointless little post fights just because they can swarm them (not many events favor large numbers of weak players).

Can't rule out jerks who know exactly what they're doing, either, but just thought I'd throw in an alternate explanation.

I encourage everyone to participate in the survey on outland events, though, and tell the devs that post grab needs to reset way more often, at the very least. That will do more than anything else to keep teams from getting shut out of the post grab rewards.

Now I recall we've fought them in the last cross server guild battle, and they mentioned they had to finish their main's battle before they could come in for the one against us.
But I really can't remember their server and guild name, and had never seen any of them in BG, so can't get in touch with them at all.
Hopefully their main's outlands opponents could keep them busy so they could stop messing with us.

I've submitted my survey with detailed comments.
