Just wondering why empire raided uncontested while everyone cried about it instead of doing something about it.

Contested ever quest is surely more enjoyable than uncontested ever quest (for all parties involved).

TL;DR in bold. I know it's a lot of text. It's because I have a lot of thoughts. LMK what you guys think of these hypotheses.

The "resistance" were too concerned about not getting YT'd. The environment here is so cruel. I was afraid that if I died trying to contest/grief <Empire> that people would disrespect me (also the corpse run). I wish now that I had risked it.

The "resistance" leaders didn't know ToV and how to grief raids in there, and how feasible it actually is. That doesn't make sense, though - they did it last night. Did Reebz and Zechariah always know how to get around in there? I wish <Friends> had led me into ToV to do what they did last night. Maybe we would have kept <Empire> from progressing and gearing up.

As for me, I have never raided ToV , so I didn't know the zone layout, location of the CoV mobs as opposed to the KoS-to-all mobs, how raids work there, etc. I'm only just beginning to learn that content now.

• The "resistance" went after their own pixel gains while <Empire> raided. Velious offers lots of solo/quest/group content. Scout Charisa, 8th ring, blue diamond jewelry, panther skin armor, and more. Plus, with Kunark largely abandoned, people could get epics on alts. Perhaps the resistance players were too distracted by their own potential pixel gains to halt <Empire>'s.
