It takes all of our faction members efforts throughout the day to even get 30 mercs to show up, most of our friends were smart and left this shit community before we did our blaze of glory on our way out. You check an hour before a battle and get a guaranteed 40+ mercs show up. Why? Because every single member of mb, acre, astralis, and lco exclusively mercs for each other.
Basically all the factions that never attacked anyone and did nothing all strat are friendly and thats 70% of the remaining active strategus community, if not more. What little is left of his dying mod is saying "we want trade simulator 2014!" If you wanted more you would do something to support the only members actually participating in a war game. Instead all the trade-simulators merc against the only active factions attacking anyone on the map. We are heavily outnumbered with weaker gear and yet we still attack to give the community battles knowing it will be rough fighting plate and weapons that costs more than our armor because they have dozens of members that spent countless hours in last 8 months doing trade runs and nothing else in a war game.
However, instead of being glad for the xp and the battles provided we get trolled by the daycare clan, have nighttime setting abused and aldo crying to all the remaining factions abut how under-merced they are. We can just as easily provide xp abttles for our friends only and sit in castles while you guys go back to 4 more months of trade simulator. We have the power because you are too cowardly and passive to do anything but what you do and you dont stand a chance against us when we are defending at primetime.
