You must be new there, because gear is easy to get in factions, we currently have tons of stuff, and still increasing, so gear is not the problem but controled zones - in which we don't have any, or any guards, so we're the weakest, enemy found our family gate the best place for pk because they aren't counter attacked, because they know we're low on numbers, all we can do is some random pk or move to other faction - you would ask why - I can answer simply - who wants to lose all the time?
I think we agree, I'm not sure we are "losing" we're just not doing as well as the others.
I dont think you understood what I meant by the post :s
We beat the PK campers back all the time, and if we don't they get bored VERY quickly.
As for gear being easy to get, well yes and no. Its very easy to armor and arm yourself with something/anything.
However the best gear really adds up in price! (Blood or caps) So dont you think stealing their gear was a good idea, I certainly do. If we get kills on the way all the better.
We need to stop trying to beat them only with brute force and start using some tactics...
E.G
.Gorilla tactics, Hit and run, In and out.
.Mass stealth, Intelligence gathering and disruption.
.Pincer movements (This helps running in a tight squad of roughly 5 so its easier to learn eachothers movements)
.Diplomacy, Traders and politicians (This one is not likely to take off)
Just a couple more things. Sometimes entering a conflict that it taking place between two other factions is also not a bad idea, it causes disruption and they are already weakened from fighting each other.
And IF ITS POSSIBLE, say hello to the enemy sometimes you will be surprised how far it gets you.
I'm no tactician, I'm a medic but we need to do somthing brother!
