Reason: Most people don’t understand the tactics, and get frustrated by them.

Some of my friends and I have used tactics like this to make our own fun in games like WAR and WoW for a couple years now, following the example of classic cavalry leaders like Cooke, Buford, Stuart, Forrest, Pleasanton and others, conducting guerilla style warfare, hit and run skirmishing and generally annoying the enemy forces we encounter in an effort to disrupt their operations. Nothing quite beats disrupting an enemy zerg to the point, where they will actually turn off their zerg objective to chase you across the battlemap!

Ride on, good sir! Ride on!

You make a good point though. There are a lot of players I know that would rather do small scale fights, but they stick to zerg fights because they think that it’s the only viable option. It’s not the only option though. As much as folks like to poke holes in what Mythic is selling us, they’ve done a good job at making a game where the PvP is actually fun. I disagree with some of their methods, but overall the PvP in this game is awesome (especially if 2 equal forces meet each other in ORvR).

Don’t encourage him!
