Not saying this, just stating it has huge unused potencial, personally hope it will remain that way :-)
I am a huge proponent of teamwork and rally everyone I am playing with to use it and we
DO use it to great effectiveness.
I am starting to see pikeman and the squad system employed on the NA servers more and more often as people watch us get x5. Although, still rather rare.
I don't know why you don't want teamwork to happen. It makes the game so fun and interesting adding new facets to play. Yes, people are more effective fighting in a group. Have you heard of this thing called war? Have you ever heard of battles and phalanxes? Shield walls with spears being the primary weapon until the formation is broken; which they try their hardest to never allow it to break?
Yeah. Wars were not fought with people running around in single-combat flailing about sidestepping all over the place and teamwounding with two handed swords.
Yes it works now, and yes it will continue to work most of the time in this game simple because people generally don't play while thinking. I know I even play normally on auto-pilot.
But if you keep thinking that you can attack first with wild two-handed swings and then you run into my shield & spear wall and get killed without even a fight? Yeah 5 people SHOULD beat one warrior almost EVERY time. No, teamwork is not exclusive to clans either. As soon as you witness it in action it is effortless to duplicate with random people. I would know, I do it half the time when I don't have someone to play with.
I ranted a bit, I am sorry.
I am trying to use that potential and help others realize it. That is all.
