Guys, would you take out the earplugs and*snip* -DL listen to what people are saying?
Do the simple math. we can have 200 (actually only 198, but we'll round up here) players on the server at a time. How many factions exist in this game? Roughly 5 factions per house, 10 or so non house factions... that's 35 factions that players will be flying in, probably closer to 50 in reality. Let's say even 20 of those are military factions which are constantly surrounded by enemies, whether they be NPC's or players.
200 players / 35 factions = 5.7 players per faction on at any one time. Anyone who has played here and kept their bloody eyes open for more than five minutes will realize that not all factions are equal. In the order, we have, if we're lucky, two players on at any one time - when planned events are being done we might have 5-10 if they can get past the swarm of idiots taking up the other 190 server slots.
For the past six months or so, during 4.84, whenever I was logged onto my order character, around 20-30% of the time there would be one other order player online. 10% of the time there would be two or more others, the rest of the time I was alone.
Escorts are not an option for 90% of the people playing here, quit acting smug and realize that fact.
