What a nonsense... do you even play battle once in a while? When there is a rather big team of one clan, there is always a bunch of "randomers" just tagging along and working instantly together with the clan group. Happens more or less every single round.
Besides, we barely have new bloods and maps are basicly all overplayed. Everyone knows what to do on this or that map to achieve the highest possibility for the team to win. There is no need to force people to anything...
I haven't played battle for some time, but it was the only mode I played while I was active. And what I saw there was a display of ignorance and unwill to do anything else than to press [W] until the enemy is reached and then spam until you are hacked down. It was literally zombie-like. And whenever I saw a clan on the server, they usually stuck together, follow by not more than a hand full of random teammates who know how things are done, but the rest going for the autowalker-Rambo-lemming mode business as usual. And even those clan group usually tended to seperate from the team, to have a glorious last stand. Byzantinum did this on purpose for example, and admitted it. This is nothing I'd call teamplay.
Can be that your observations differ from mine. But my perception is all I got for judging things, and I described my perception above. Enemy team waiting in some ruins, having cavalry superiority, my team charging over the open field three or four times in a row, having 50% losses only due to cavalry, I write "wait for THEM to come, or their cav will always ride you down while you are moving" and all I get as answer is "no, just charge". How fucking braindead is this? It kills my fun on public servers, and makes me write those suggestions.
