we play creep because freeps aren't what they use to be
You seem to be in a group 24/7
every hunter I see has friends. 1 BA vs 2 Freeps (Doesn't matter the class) is very low odds of winning.

Nah, not really QQing, just poking fun at some of your arguments.
going point by point:
1) how can this be taken as anything but complaining that freeps are much weaker and you want to play the stronger side
2/3) a BA complaining that a hunter groups is rather silly. if you were to find a solo hunter it would be an auto win 99% of the time for any BA that's even half decent. Even if it's just a duo with one of them being a hunter you should almost always get at least one kill.
As for me, I'd love to go back to soloing, but the few times I've tried since RoR the only solo creeps I've come across are high ranked wargs I know I can't beat, like starfoxx, or p2w weavers (I was fail enough that I couldn't even kill most weavers before they got buffed). I don't feel like feeding them and would rather find fights that are competitive and fun for both sides.
This leaves me with the option of grouping up; there have been some awesome group fights lately which I've enjoyed greatly.
There has also been a lot of zerging and turtling by groups on both sides, and those times are not fun and I've tried to stay away from it as much as possible, with one notable exception being one night earlier this week when I was so close to hitting r9 and there were no other fights to be found.

I agree, I don't like the turtling either, but it has to be done and has been done by both sides. Part of the fights, I guess. As of playing the stronger side, I played my creeps (Reaver and BA) long before I even had a freep. Whole reason I got a freep was because an old friend got me vip and I played it. Most freeps/creeps play both sides. The only fact is, we're doing something different.
If I was getting trolled, I wouldn't be laughing at how seriously you're taking this, it seems you died in a PvP zone. "Troll" me all you want, ain't gonna stop us from going to the moors. To me, it seems like QQ...as it does to many of the other non-tribe creeps. Most of us (I say us because that's the side I played before and now.) think it's pathetic, aseptically how most of the new greenie freeps have the courage to push us against the odds.
Props to Dracko too, he pushes us even when solo. Maybe if you as a whole grouped and pushed us, you'd win. You're all too worried about who likes who.
Idgaf anymore, QQ or Trolling. I'm having a good time killing and Cjing most of the terrible freeps (I was one of em, Speedyboots Koti).

P.s Trolling never bothers me, ask Wadric
~~~ Lotharius ~~~ CWH: Just like your ex boyfriend
1.) "These guys are bad on their freeps, they only win on creeps because they zerg and sit near map points."
2.) "We have ranked fast on our creeps because we are good."
3.) "We were unaware that it was possible to leave the rez circle any other way than running straight into creeps."
4.) "If you group up you have no solo skill"
5.) "LOTRO takes skill to play" * Always my favorite thing to see when people talk about skill in this game, hilarious
6.) "Player was ok on Riddermark but the problem was everyone else so they left but they still play here"
7.) "QqQqQqQqQq my butt hurts"
Its a GOOD RvR thread kids, if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all.

Reason: Clarity
Its a matter of perspective RvR thread kids, if you don't have something nice to say post it on forums.lotro.com.
I thought your post was well thought out (Well Said, Informative, Positive Contribution) and applicable to most real life situations. So I gave it a reputation accelerator. But you miss-typed the last part so I fixed it for you.
Also, Tbow didn't Akara give you a link to a whole gaggle of images/memes/etc to use so you didn't have to recycle the same 3? :P

dont judge. :P I have little patience to fiddle around with photobucket and upload. you just do it for me please. kthx
This is what our moors needs more of. I am thankful we are back to hating each other, and ganking greenies on sight. Everytime you kill a greenie, an angel doen NOT lose its wings, I come to find out. So all good there.
I am also thankful Soviets continues to push into a freep raid solo, with complete abandon for his virtual health, and manages to take out one or two of us in the process. ./salute you, may your shield stay bloody. More WL's need to follow your lead.
hehe I recall a time and day a couple years back you were the ranking creep on the server, rank 5 then 6. Even then you pushed, usually at the expense of your groups.
one of my fav pics of all time...when I tried to zerg you and TheGoat and Kyiv by myself lol. The bubbles were strong that day Krime.
Even as this thread is on the lockdown list from Sapience, it is nice to see our community full of passion, even if it is unbridled and raw hatred. It makes it more interesting to be out here day and night...knowing the butt hurt is strong on both sides.
Most of the vet creeps are coming back creepside soon anyways, so keep the anger fresh.
PS: I may have convinced Dracko to roll a WL and get down with me.....so free peoples beware.

I think the best part of this picture (aside of seeing 3 of my favorite old timer creep vets) is the tell from Jokker. I miss those days and many of the people that played.

I trust your judgement. Is it worth freeping on this server any more? I see qlimax in GLFF adverting raids, ive always thought highly of him. Ms thorgrum got me VIP again so I can freep. Moved my creeps from riddermark, freeps not yet.
you can give me a smart &&& reply thats cool, in it please indicate your impression of freepside and RvR.
I don't know about March since I'm pretty sure I wasn't playing LOTRO at that point and if I had come back, I know I definitely hadn't begun PVPing again yet. My comment referred to well over a year ago and in MMO time, that's pretty significant considering how quickly things change and people come and go.

Thanks in advance beautiful.
I dunno. I don't freep anymore. I honestly don't pvp much. Qlimax is a good leader, smart cookie and people seem to be happy with him so it may be worth taking a look for yourself. And thanks for the permission for the smart &&& reply. I'll exercise my right to reserve that reply for later on.

I forgot to quote tbow when I responded. I learned long ago any attempt to troll you is futile.
that pic was from 2010...before Soviets got his 30 year ban
Lol, still one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. No one more deserving though and I mean that in a good way. That's quite the accomplishment worthy of praise.

Pretty much what she said. He'll run solo, small groups or raids as required and does a great job of it. He tends not to stagnate as some do. Constantly mixing it up, trying different strategies, never staying in one place too long, etc.

Yeah, I suspected it was likely directed at Tbow, but I couldn't resist. If it's any consolation, had I not responded in kind with him, I'd have made a similar comment instead. I think it's rare for him to say anything that doesn't contain the words "Back in my day", "I'm so old" or something similarly superior sounding. Awesome alliteration.
lulz you were right, that was not back in the day. THIS one is, I was only rank 7...and my first freep raid I led. You can see how well I did. We had fun, but Filet was much better than me lol

That looks exactly like the 21st Hall skraid you lead recently.
Strange fights tonight, seemed as if there were 3 separate groups running around for a good while. We only had a small group and it was a pretty good change of pace to have the 6v6 sort of fights that were taking place in random spots around the map. We couldn't handle it when all the freeps were in one spot for the most part, but the back and forth along Sgts. Ramp/3 Hump was a solid fight with numbers on both sides backing it up.
Overall, fun night that didn't have huge RvR nor 1v1 circles for a change.
P.S. It seems that everytime I log in nowadays I see new faces, so whether you are a transfer or just hit the cap, welcome and thanks for coming out.
I agree that the fight at sgts/3h was fun. Both sides were getting a lot of kills. The 15+ creeps camping the rez later against 6 freeps wasn't as much fun. I looked all over for other creeps to fight but none to be found. Why would they go anywhere else when zerging is so easy

Great fun yesterday. I know of at least 3 Freep groups that were patrolling the Moors. I was running anywhere from 4 to 7 kinnies around. We got a lot of kills and we died frequently. I believe Aftermath was leading a crew. I also think that Dracko was running around with a small group too.
I wish I had the time to be out there in prime time more often.
Awesome fights yesterday. There were so many freep and creep groups it was tough to keep track of, and some switched sides a few times I believe. I led a CWH group that varied in size from 3-7. There were huge chaotic fights with lots of deaths on both sides. The back and forth from TA to lug res was lots of fun especially, and the EC fight lasted so long that one of us complained about his arm starting to hurt lol. Thank you creeps for bringing the fight repeatedly.
I don't know if it qualifies as Raid vs Raid but thanks to all the freeps and creeps whom came out this evening. Despite an all blue map, and watching numerous trolls get nuked down we stuck with it and managed to create some enjoyable fights out there, speaking for creep side anyway. I'd like to think freeps enjoyed themselves as well given the consistent action.
I had a lot of fun. Creeps were good sports tonight. They were outnumbered most of the night and kept fighting. Gotta give them respect for going hard all night long. cheers
Thanks to everyone for the fights at EC/Lugz rez (hit rank 5), and the grams fights today only 15k to rank 6!
I would like to ask for both sides to stop the flipping of keeps while the fights are hot.
I want to see more action like this( minus the camping factor) more often.
P.S. I hate you all<3
