So yep, its quite poor a statement.

Nothing poor about it, first it's a statement that everyone wanted some sort of acknowledgement on..and you got that. People forget that in these games you got to make decisions that prevent bad things from happening while also making sure things are productive. They pretty much said "Okay..so we understand, but this is what could happen..are you okay with that?" and people are at first until a few weeks pass by and their friends stop playing PVP. Then many of these people will be right back here complaining again about pre-mades like they have before. It's the circle of bitc......ahem..life..

Someone made a wonderful statement earlier about this and, to me, preserves both lore and the players who say "screw this"..make a mercenary selection they can join whatever they want.

I agree the GC restrictions aren't great but there are better ways.

Well a big deal of this is because people wants to play with their friends in their teams regardless of what GC they are in with, aka, pre-mades.

I fully understand why you would want to play with your friends I mean this is what the MMO is all about. I agree you should be able to play with friends, but after the new smell goes away, how do you stop the past from repeating itself with the sudden constant complaints of pre-mades. It doesn't hurt some because they're gone, got their gear and left..but now we're back where we started with premades in wolves den. I'm not saying you're wrong just asking, what would you personally do to continue to make the game fun but not so dominating from a premade after the "I'm just here for eso." leave?

Then again, should we really punish those who love PVP so much they actually make parties, strategies and develop leadership for the other members?
