Goblin Rampage – A Warhammer Online Blog.

WAR was designed around bashing stunties, stabbin’ pointy ears and stompin’ humies.  So why does destro, along with many Order prefer to PvE for renown rather than actually stand and fight?

The reason why I say this, is tonight once of the new Order guilds made of rerolls from Destruction from one of the ‘top’ guilds attacked a keep, and left after 10 minutes due to the fact they couldnt get the ram down, even though they had a numerical advantage, not to mention a bunch of people on vent/ts > a band of pubs.  Instead they decided to bugger off, not even hit another zone like the usually do and went and did scenarios to ‘grind renown.’

Heres another intresting thing, people view renown ranks as a ‘grind’.  It is supposed to be an achievement or reward, not something you grind because it makes you good having high RR.  It has lead to a lack of fisticuffs in the field and more a trading of BFOs and keeps.  Hell, we even had people comment saying ‘Don’t fight Order you stupid, we get better / faster renown from just capping.’  Its kind of scary and sad that people would rather do this than actually grow some cahoonies and go in.

In other news, Mythic’s loot system sucks arse – Bloodwrought dropped 3 BO boots, SH, BO & Zealot helm + belt, when we didn’t even have a zealot / SH in the group, and the BO already had all the pieces.
