40 Fighters and I am the only fighting. Well, me and the other 5 or 6 guys chasing me. But then, actually, that really is just me fighting, isn't it? Cowards, nothing but cowards. Disgusting.

I nominate you for a medal such bravery should not go un rewarded :salute

Hang on a minute why were they having to chase you again :rofl

It is a American thing hoarding a base.

The Germans developed hording in WWII. They called it the blitzkrieg.   :P

Hordes are a blessing of targets in a small area.  It is all in how you approach putting them down... :aok

In my opinion this is what this game has become for most players.

-log in
-pick arena with the most players
-find base with a green blob and a red dar bar
-go vulch

or....

-find flashing V base
-go sit at spawn and rack up 100 gv kills

game play..........:x......not as fun as it used to be
but look at my score
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

Try taking a tempest and blowing through them, you should get 2 to 3 kills in one pass.  Just dont slow down, if you have 2 or 3 tempests its even better they wont even know what hit them.

I think a lot of you guys are missing a critical point to this post, which IMO makes it a pretty baseless whine.  (pun sort of intended :) )
Everyone is holding in a horde over THEIR base, they are not offensively hording.  (according to the OP)  Seems to me the easy way to avoid this is...fly somewhere else?  I can't imagine those 20 guys over their base are the ONLY ones in the air...unless your in purp  ;)

Now offensive hording -- that's a different ballgame.  But this phenomenon that you are describing seems far too avoidable to be worthy of a gripe.  Just my thoughts.

Seriously.  A horde means plenty of targets to shoot at.   That's a good thing.
