Mobbing Needs to Stop!!

[Alaris]

i would argue that the number of truly experienced and skilled PvP/AB players in AB is very small. this is why you see alot of people who do not move out of an AoE, who stand still instead of kite when being attacked by a melee character or who just don't understand that killing the monk on the opposing side puts you at an advantage. these are basic PvP skills that most HA people use and understand or they get KICKED!

You learn the same things in higher-level PvE btw, or you suffer the consequences.

regardless of rank or title it is difficult to win with any consistency in AB. that in itself says alot about skill and experience in that particular arena.

I'm not sure what that proves. If anything, it seems to argue that you are as likely to be teamed with noobs, and as likely to be confronted with good players, as anybody else.

Easy way to end mobbing: Make it so that for every ally above 4, the number of pips for capping the shrine decreases. ie with 5 people there would be 3 pips. With 8 people there would be 0 pips.

If all 9 or more of the retards are trying to cap the same shrine, it would actually go negative, and get capped for the other team. Tee hee!

lol nice ideas...but uhm...AB is just a farming ground for balthazars and alliance faction, so people think like, we might than just make it easy...so they mob up...

...i mean those mobs r something that rarely a team of 4 can handle, and they practicly take any shrine they want and kill whatever stands on their way...
i played yesterday for about 3h, and there was not once the luxons did not mob(i play kurz), and of all those battles we might have won just one, cuz we did not mob once at all, cuz people say that's the noob way to do it...well hell than, i dont care if that's anoob way to do it, IT WORKS, they get more faction than we do...

...so how do you make a working, extremely effective battle technique, not to be used anymore, i mean, just face it...people dont care if its fair or noobish as long as it works...

Educating people who do not want to learn is never gonna work. Just work around it instead.

exacly...see, i doesn't matter how much we try to convince and talk the other people into changing the tactic from mobbing to 4-4-4 or something...

...we'll just have to find away to beat the mobing tactic...

If you find yourself in a mob, leave. You can almost never convince your teammates not to mob, but you can make sure you're not part of the problem.

Run a bar of annoying ranger spirits and just drop them near the mob.

I will stop mobbing when Anet makes an 12 vs 12 battle without shrines, and I will stop AB too at that point, AB is fun to kill off some people.

Yet the point of AB is to win via capping shrines, not mobbing and slaughtering people.

If I see a mob, I move away from them, simple as that. Capping shrines as I go.

If all you want is to kill off some people, go to RA.. That's your pure random lame PK'ing galore. And noone there will ever blame you for wanting to just "kill off someone".
If you keep on doing it you'll just need to be fine with losing or being bad and have other people carry you.
