I honestly dont know why they didnt take pld, but lets keep in mind

1) garuda was broken

2) after a hot patch to fix garuda a team of JP players brough ALL jobs and doubled up on the BRDs , in this set up the PLD was the tank, they won the fight with as much ease as the first group that went through. soo not only is your point moot but atempting to call me out on such premises is a sign that you obvously have no amunition probably due to the fact that you have no Idea on what your talking about and or your just another love drunk war tank that cant see past your own ego to realize WAR has its limitations.
