I am Adders since the begining in chaos, i can tell you,
Adders was going good when we was doing secure, bad when the slaughter come out, then better... The same when this new pvp come out. even worst , with the new pvp mode.
In all new pvp release we get a lot of new players trying the new mode.
We was realy bad two month ago. (hopefully we have good groups atm)
But yeah we got often sandwiched by the two GCs, but i don't think it's because Mael And flamme think we are easy to take or bad. We are certainly hated from immortal and mael and hate is old, Adders is hated since Secure Pvp^^
