There's No Reason To Continue

If there's three people fighting someone, one in interlock and two others attacking... Why is there a need for a second, third, or fourth MKT to neurodart the person that's getting their *CENSORED* ganked as it is? There's no longer a need for skill in this game. If you're Zion, you can just call one of the thirty Factions that plays on Vector and one of the top ten will show up in numbers to defeat the five or fewer M-named Org members. To make matters worse, usually this is a way to get revenge because there was originally 3 Zion and 3 Machines/Mervs and because the 3 Zion were unable to defeat 3 M's, you're determined to bring back as many as possible to show who the real force is.

 During events it works the same way. E Pluribus Neo and Zion aren't supposed to be the same, but when there's an EPN event then surely Zion will show up to help. Oh, there's a Merv event? A Machine Event? Bring every last Zion to kill them all. Nevermind the fact that the Machines are supposed to be getting along with Zion during events. It's only a fair game if Zion wins all the fights. There were a few Zion factions that I had respect for, but even they have proven that all they want to do is "win," not follow the story.

The only way this game is going to be balanced is if they give us a real perk for going to the Merovingian or Machine orgs, otherwise there's no further use for PVP. I played as Zion and let me tell you, it was difficult to get an honest fight... If you interlocked someone, there's no way they're going to make it out. Nine out of ten times I'd have two or three more Zion neurodarting and Full Auto Reduxing the person I was fighting. Now I'm back on the receiving end of that and it felt wrong from both sides, but now it feels even worse... We'll never succeed in an event that Zion doesn't want us to. We're not supposed to ally ourselves with Mervs. As a Machine, I'm content to quit this game knowing that in several months there will only be Zion and Merovingian players remaining, but mostly Zion. The few Machines that still play will grow more frustrated until they quit as well, as they've slowly been doing.

 The only thing that PVP proves in this game now is that when you defeat someone it means you're going to get slaughtered by the reinforcements. If you single someone out, their friends will get you as they fall. If you're outnumbered, they will give chase. You can be awesome and help one side only to get eliminated as soon as you're the only "red" on the screen. There's ONE red, let's everyone use a root. There's eight Zion and three Machines. They may be able to take one of us down, so check this out... You, load a Patcher Sim. I'll load UGM if you load Doctor. With buffs and sims, those three reds won't be able to fight us three to one. Remember, if they roll out use Crippling Throw.

 Man, I just did alot of griping and it wasn't necessary, either. Afterall, I've read threads like these over and over, repeatedly. I'm now guilty of one too. It's not going to change things. It won't get better. I'll just deactivate my account for a while and then reactivate it again when I get bored and miss the masochism of paying to play a game that would be really good if the players weren't a bunch of ganking noobs.
