Re: Premades

Please understand, the only benefit a premade can possibly have over non-premade is better coordination. Beyond that, there is nothing they can do that you can't.

Except that premades are also typically made up of the better/best PVPers on the DC.

Sometimes, but I've seen some pretty mediocre ones coming from less-populated servers (ie, Cactuar).

Although it's funny as hell when we squash one "top" pvper with a PUG group he comes back with a full party of 8 because he really isn't that good without his 3-4 pocket healers.
What's even better is that after you beat him a few times he does nothing throughout an entire match:



And the above has happened more than once.

If there's anyone who doesn't deserve to be called a top pvper, it's that individual based on his attitude alone.

I wouldn't consider him a top PVPer but that's just me :3

A wannabe Nex Cross.

. . . Who have the same tools you have to work with. So again, it's not WHO you're fighting, it's how well you fight. And you can't fight at your best if you hesitate or become intimidated. Again, there's nothing they can do that others can't, and this includes forming your own premade. Even so, coordination, proper use of skills and the battlefield itself, and teamwork can overcome odds. Someone mentioned running away; tell me, aside from obvious cheating tactics which are punishable of course, is there anything considered "foul play"? Fair or Good strategy is anything that keeps you and your team alive and helps you achieve victory. If that means running, so be it. If it means aggressive offense, so be it.

The most important part is to not get caught up in the fact that you're fighting something/someone thought to be prestigious. Don't ignore the fact, no, but don't be swayed or intimidated by it. Consider this: did Muhammad Ali ever show doubt or fear or concern over WHO he fought? Or did he get in there and fight at his best, regardless? Psychological warfare is a very real and VERY effective part of ANY battle. Focus. Fight hard. Win against any odds.

So? More satisfaction when you backhand them for daring to come out of base in the first place.

If they're not an 8-man premade, they're not that hard to beat. Just two decent Adders working together is enough to get a winning streak against GCs with only a few big names if you can outmaneuver them as a GC. We've done it.

Although there was one really annoying 5-healer premade from Zalera (I think). Their AST killed our BLM after a skirmish... just chased him down with DOTs while he ran back to me through caves shouting in Discord.

All of this was a hell of a lot more interesting than Shatter.

So you say 2 people who work together is enough to win? lmao "5 healer premade" Thats more trolling than actual premade who wants to win. I really want to see those 2 people who legit think they are the reason for a winning streak haha

you might of not had the pleasure of carrying a match with two people but it's easily done
