This was the last time I brought my team to the Taus to fight like this

@everybody who was not there: Please, save your wise comments. You misunderstand the situation for something it is not.

@"Drrobe": Around 20 players were somehow involved, I would guess. Look at the lack of kudos after a massive fight. Look at the complete lack of kudos written by experienced group pvpers or group leaders. It's more telling than the few kudos that actually appeared. Moreover, I doubt that your intervention here adds much, as you were not there this time, and you were not there the last 10 times. I get your point, however it's not a really substantial one, as the low numbers of quotes that you analyzed clearly show.

So do you forsake encounters because you personally did not like it, and are potentially lessening encounters for others that did?

You can't know that, so I'll clarify it: I am the only person (this is no exaggeration) who has been organising the response to the OC+GC+Asco Tau group. My faction facilitates the interaction (by e.g. group mining), which draws the offer of a pew by the Asco group (who are mainly cool and experienced guys and normally wait for us to get enough people, so it is a fight and not a massacre), and then I start drumming up a more or less makeshift force to counter what starts arriving for the pewing. Like it or not: these are the facts.

And surprise, surprise: I am not willing to organise anything that leaves me and my faction disappointed repeatedly. I am not keeping anybody from stepping up, but I won't do it. It is not worth my investment of time and energy, if this is what I get in return.

@Dark_Predator: At some point, you will understand that 8-10 snubs on 3-4 Ascos [2 of which are top-5 of GB pilots] plus a few snubs is not a gank. These are the past fights you hinted at. Just realize that gunboats stack very powerfully when spammed. But hey: Just cloak, refill and come back again. Then hug the Ascos (or Razor Cruisers, or Dreads) and see your opponents melt/insta-explode, and cloak before dying to refill. All legit, but perhaps not exactly what motivates me to organise a response next time, don't you agree?
