I can never understand stuff like this. I have been victim to the Bop horde before too. Is their confidence of their skills so poor that they MUST have 5-6 guys chasing a solitary target? Maybe its because they don't know how to share and MUST race each other to the target screaming "mine, mine,mine". Maybe to them its more important to kill those big bad buildings, and capture the base instead of fighting real moving fighting targets. How much fun can it really be to have 15+ guy over whelm a base?
Years ago when I was in a big squad each of our 3 wings had a mission/job. First group was the main strike force, second was either second wave (if needed), or first wave at the next base or decoy wing(attack a base to get a response and split the defenders numbers), and the third was the ack/pork wing. They would run out front and take the ack out and run off. Ack would be down long enough so when the next group was ready to move on it had a target that was deacked. Or, if on the defensive that night it would be that groups duty to pork troops or ammo along the front. We used our numbers in strategy, not in brute force, of course we were confident in our skills to do what needed to be done.
Bops are afraid of competition, or the base capture is more important. If they were looking for the "fight" instead of the base they could ease off on the ganging. 3 guys up, 6 Bops SHOULD be enough to knock them down wouldn't you say? If that was how they went about it tho, the few defenders there may keep upping because its fun fighting in a low slow furball. Bops could get more kills, learn to share, defenders could have a small hope (very small seeing the numbers the Bops bring) to defend, and would generate a small furball untill they did win the capture.....if they could sustain the pressure.
Sounds like fun for all. On the other hand they could continue with the "horde" mentality, defenders will get tired of getting ganged and will either join the "gang" on their team to fight in the safety of the horde, or log off in disgust as it no fun fighting in a horde, or against one. Before you know it people will be canceling their subscriptions........ hey wait ! Did this happen before?
The big squads CAN dictate what happens in an arena. This is where the community can help itself. Big squads need to take a look at how they are shaping the arena with their play. By making small changes in how they play in the arena, everyone can have fun. Its all about the fun.
