lol, we did that a couple of nights ago. The kurz teams we were getting teamed with were pretty fail (as in the only group to ever cap a shrine was ours while the other groups were headless chickens trying to rambo the mob) at Kaanai, so we rolled 3 trappers with natural rituals. We trapped and spammed natural rituals near the rez at the bridge. What ensued was pure slaughter, as the opposition was too braindead to just cap around and let us be.

Problem of AB is that it is a PVP arena with PVE players. See how much Terra Tankers, 55hps, wammos, touchers and chars with farming builds are in AB

Which is exactly why a good group that's build around each other can usually decimate other groups they come across.

the only way AB would become popular again would be if they add new maps or new goals or even increase the reward point or lower the cap point system cuz at this rate fff is way faster and more productive cuz you get money for completing with faction... As far as the time goes it takes you amx. an hour ot get 10k while ABing you win max 4 matches so depending on where you win it isn't much.

The game just becomes frustrating because way too many people just want to kill players instead of capping shrines ...

I think the faction(balth and allegiance) awarded should be increased to regain popularity. I kno AB right now works around capping shrines but if you have matches with ppl just running around from shrine to shrine it would be extremely boring. I think kills aren't rewarded enough in AB. Think about it if kill counted maybe for 2 points or more, matches would go by alot faster and that would make room for more matches and decrease wait time.

I love AB.

It's fun and far less annoying than RA and my class pwns there far more than we ever will in high-end PvP unlike my Warrior.

Good times for my Sin.

It's like a crappy b-film compared to The Godfather.They both have their place and purpose.

What a minute, this thread topic complaining that there's too many new players? Isn't growth a good thing?

You see a new player, enlighten them with sage advice, don't ridicule them for their inexperience.

GW is based on the insult of noob as much as anything else.

Sad but true.

Only noobs make out other players for noobs. In my experience decent players tend not to use local chat too much.

ive recently got back into AB (hardly ever abed for a while). It's such a stress relief system. How lovely it is to see a ranger panic his ass off when he realises i have wild blow xD

Ya, the over flowing noobs are killing AB. I'm a devout Kurzick but the sudden rush of noobs have told me sumting...It's time to FFF. Screw the noobs, I'm here to get faction not teach noobs.

It's clear about half of you guys are the "running noob", "mobbing noobs", "wiki build noobs" and "I'd own you 1v1" local chatters who sucks horribly at the game

AB has never been up a hill, it's always been in a pit, a very very deep one.

I like AB. I use it to test out builds for my chars, I don't mind how long the round goes just as long as I test it out . It does get a bit confusing though, because of lots of MM's these days I in fact faced 2 whole armies of MM's who were each camping one of the teleporters out, the other 10 of their team was sitting at our gate. And instead of that nuker ele going to THE ******* MINIONS HE NUKED THE HUMANS
