Biggest reason Red sucks is just cause the population sucks. If the server had enough people to support like 3-4 Empire's instead of 1 it would be infinitely more enjoyable. An avg nightly pop of like 600 people would make Red amazing. Unfortunately that will never happen cause the vast majority of people that try Red get frustrated by the degenerates with ~300k geared twinks sitting in lvl 5-50 dungeons ruining everyones day all day long. If you manage to get past that into your 50's then your options become either join Empire or get crushed/raid meaningless shit to avoid getting crushed. That's another one of the huge issues is that 1 guild basically controls everything through zerg tactics. If Empire was forced to split into 2 separate guilds somehow and the rest of the server just picked sides it would automatically be better than it is now. I used to think "Why the hell are ppl so excited about stupid "Teams PvP" server when we already have Red that blows ass? But then it all made sense when I stopped to think about it. A Teams server kind of discourages a single zerg guild at the top. Much higher probability of there being multiple high end guilds when the mechanics of the game force people to not pile into 1 zerg.
Red has potential to be a great thing but human scumbag nature seems to repeatedly get in the way.
