WaaArgh!! Why destro players are so bad…

Ok I am finally going to lose it…
How can destruction players be so bad at this game? I mean come on you got way more players on this side and you still lose like 80% of the scenarios and zerg fights. They lose by doing the stupidest things I ever seen. It’s like watching how they revive and go in 1 by 1 to die instead of grouping up. JUST UN-!#@$ingbelievable.
OK ok *breathe*
Let start off with the healers since I am a so called healer myself (shaman). I swear I see other healers going in first, way ahead of tanks in a scenario fight!! WHY! They go in and now they see the order players charging at them and then their minds finally start ticking which tells them to run back. They run back but by the time they run back they already been either knocked off (usually Tor Anroc) or blasted away already by Orders ranged DPS. So basically I’m left there in the back healing whoever was left alive and wasting my heals on them instead of healing the tanks of close DPS players. Oh and stop jumping around me for heals because I have to heal tanks or melee dps over you.
Lets move on to melee DPS clasees… Why are you standing behind me in a fight? It doesnt make sense for you to be standing behind the healers. If you do at least throw some axes at them for god sake. Show me why I’m going to heal this tard that just jumps behind me. I know you guys are probably squishy too, but seriously you guys can go around the Order players and own up some ranged DPS or some healers. Instead I see them charging at the Order tanks…. while getting nuked by ranged dps classes.
Now to Tank classes… Now tanks I don’t have much problem with since I always see them charging in, but would it kill you to leave the Ironbreakers alone for a few seconds instead of having a 5 min standoff with him.. kill some healers or some range dps class while you’re at it. Also would it kill you to use gaurd on me or any other healers. That would be much appreciative from all the healers.
Finally Range DPS classes.. Oh how I love them.. The way they run once a melee dps class is on them. Truthfully, you are not gonna live if you run when you got a witch hunter on you or a whitelion. I heal you because hopefully you will turn around and fight the guy instead you keep running and running and running and running… then you get CC and then I get pounded in.. then the melee class get pounded… you see the chain here =I.. Also, I see you guys do this alot too with the whole chasing the target thing.. Why you run in to 10 other opposing players just to kill 1 single guy. By the time you reach him either that player is already healed to full health or you died before even landing that last hit. Let the melee class finish them off if you are out of range.
Yes I know I know I might be wrong here and I know all of destruction players don’t play like that but if you got most of them doing this then there is a problem. I don’t get how come Order players (can’t say never) don’t do this.. Shows that even though you have way quantity in the game, but lack a lot of quality players..
Sorry for the long rant… Just had to get it out there.
Would love to hear your comments in this and hopefully to hear some Order players too

To understand this problem, you have to go back in time a couple years. The majority of these players are new to MMO’s having only played WOW or AoC, and when looking at the overall quality of PvP in those games, well … its something to be laughed at.
I’ve played both sides on separate servers, 40 DOK & Marauder on Pragg and a 30 SW on Vortex. Previously I spent 3 years on DAOC’s PvP server, Mordred as well as many players in my Guild.
No matter who we picked up, whether it be tank or caster, they we horrible. Tank couldn’t pick targets, Casters were spec’d wrong and didn’t know how to assist. It was the same thing on either side.
You make a good point, I spent 2-3 yrs myself playing DAoC and compared to most of the players who just picked up on a MMO are having a tough time making it to the top of the game. Along with that, a lot of premade or good groups are getting picky with players, can’t say I would group with just anyone but grouping with noobs from time to time and getting bashed over and over isn’t too fun of a night either.
I wont even que for scenarios unless i have 2-3 guildies with me, i cant stand pugs, i hate the common player because 90% of the time they are HORRIBLE. Pugs suck and the common player should just shoot him/her self.
As for why is destruction so bad its because of this:
Destruction has the most appealing classes. Best looking classes so ever 15 year old and is friends want to play them, regardless of how bad they are at the game. On monolith there is a couple decent destruction guilds with some good players. Thats about like 4% of the destruction on monolith. The other 96% are mindless newbs who can only zerg and usually fail at that.
IMO they need to open up a server that only the top renown guilds can copy to. That way the little 15 year old wow players can zerg it up on thier server and the select guild whod rather fight fair 6v6 12v12 24v24 can have their good skilled matches.
You’ve got a point Keelia, Destro classes are far more appealing than Order visually, but once you look past that, the classes are pretty much a match to the opposing realm. You’d most likely find younger players on Destro and more of the older ones on Order.
An All-Star server would be nice and all, but its not practical. We wont see fair fights until the beginning of the end — When server pops slim down to a quarter of what they are now.
I think it simply be an age issue, Srfto.
I totally agree. Hopefully, everybody will mature in their game play style over the months. So by next year we can really see how far we can push this game to. I really hope it will be epic battles just by walking outside of town. =)
