Re: Guilds Redux

I saw something a few nights back and didn't want to post immediately as I didn't want to make it appear that I was calling specific people or guilds out. In Global Chat someone was complaining about getting "steamrolled" trying to capture a control crystal. Their complaint was that their 2 people didn't have a chance to win against 5 defenders. They ended their complaint with a statement "I can't wait until guilds are broken up."
SO apparently, 5 v 2 is now a guild problem. 5 people constitute a super guild and must be stopped. At what point do we just call this bullshit and tell people to grow up? I hear this often in even 2v1 fights of people complaining about a guild because they are outnumbered. Are we saying the game needs to be tuned into a 1v1 battle system? This seems like the only solution if you never want to be outnumbered. I get it when you are outnumbered it sucks. I've fought 5v1 odds before and it does suck. The difference is I was adult enough to realize that my mistake was in not gathering a group to take on the 5 before engaging them. I don't blame game mechanics for not allowing me to become a super character and fight 5 people all by myself.
An event a few nights ago was 2v1 and the solo person beat the other 2 due to strategy and luck. This game isn't always about numbers but it IS always about using your brains. If you chose to enter into a battle you know you will be outnumbered, don't complain and demand the system change when you get beat. Be smart, find friends, use strategy, and quit demanding the game change to accommodate you when you fail.
It appears there are many people who want this game stripped down to be a cakewalk where they can play it and never have to worry about every getting beaten or have their feelings hurt. I suggest one of the many facebook games such as Farville2 or Solitaire if competition and strategy are outside of your abilities. This constant demand to remove guilds will never end as long as people are coddled when they get their feelings hurt. Once guilds are gone, people will demand parties be removed. Once parties are gone, one person per square seems the next step. Do people even realize the definition of Muti-User Dungeon? I could understand the complaints if there was logic to it. What I don't understand is the "I got beat by a party of people cause I can't stand up to a group solo. Groups should be outlawed!"
