We've all heard and read the recent outcry about some people going pirate, some sort of rift within Gankalyst, and the pirate faction as a whole getting stronger. While I love reading all the forum drama while at work (amirite?), people really need to look at the bigger picture.
Complaining and blaming others doesn't get anything done. You have to work with what you have in any given situation and quit waiting on others to save you or motivate you. If you're content not going out and contesting, that's fine because you're entitled to your own style of gameplay.
But for those who innately enjoy PvP and competition, it's time to get our acts together. This isn't a call for faction unity or a plea for anyone to work with guilds they don't like. Fuck that, it will never work due to people having personal issues and not wanting to move past them. But there ARE strong guilds and players outside of ParaDen6 that likely would enjoy going out to the front lines but see it as pointless because they feel they will just lose.
You probably will lose. At least for a bit until you figure out why you're losing. But you won't figure that out until you've had your ass handed to you a few times and can see if it's numbers, gear, skill, or coordination holding you back. That's all stuff you can work on.
Regarding those who cannot/will not work with ParaDen6, why not work with other eastern guilds and form some sort of alliance that you can take out and fight with? Raid up, go fight, take whatever loot you can win, and keep repeating. The game is fun if you let it be. :)
