    Anyway... this phenomenon of "feeder premades", can't say I've observed it much if at all. It's usually one person tucking themselves into an obscure part of the terrain. If I notice that and they're not in my party I'll be rather direct, "/a Anyone with one <somebody> in their party? Suggest a votekick if I were you, they're afk/botting". Perhaps you mean the thuglife premades that selectively play based on who they see in their alliance (or know which fellow gangstas are on the other factions to further guide their actions)? /fakesmile Find that to be a bit more common, insular tribalism is a common thing... so it's much harder to weed out if it is proving to be a problem at times.

    I digress somewhat though, however this is covering "integrity" so... eh.
    Some matches only make sense if you recognize one padding/assassin premade is going after another. I'd say that's a pretty clear game integrity issue.

    We're reading from the same page. If the inverted commas on integrity made that unclear I apologize, I wasn't speaking with disdain there. Was just detailing on that type of premade and that it's a more common fixture than it's been made out to be. Given that it can be driven by far more unsavoury elements (let's just say pettiness) than mere sloth, it's a more eminent thing too. Just my opinion of course.

    Bit of personal trivia, but I believe I was removed from one bunker discord on the basis of questioning that behaviour. Was told, "fuck honour" and not that long after that I was no longer a member. So yeah, it's kinda a thing yannoooooow.

    Understood, and I completely agree with you.

    PvP Discords definitely do some good, like keeping Rival Wings sort of alive. But some servers have a culture that that is highly counter-productive to PvP integrity, and frankly attracts people I'd rather avoid.
