This is just silly. Nihilum is humiliated constantly on the forums, particularly in the Nihilum killshot thread. There's not a single person outside Nihilum who actually thinks they are decent at pvp, and probably few people within Nihilum who thinks they're a good pvp guild. People join Nihilum for the pixels, that's all.
Like I said in this thread and in various other threads, YT just encourages a certain style of PvP by making it implicit that anyone with more YT in their favor is "better". Favoring a certain style of pvp/rules of engagement is not a good idea. Whenever YT is implemented on a server it becomes an informal leaderboard, so you see people bind camping, killing AFKers, and killing people on CR's more often. Basically, you get pvp for the sake of ego-stroking which is not what classic pvp was (necessarily) about. Killshots posted on the forums provide context to show that a person is being bind camped, killed while naked, etc., so those are better for people to show off their kills. Global OOC lets people find groups easier and broadcast where pvp is occurring if they really want. YT isn't needed and it just creates more problems than it solves.
Inb4 "you're just against YT because you're afraid of pvp".

P much sums up why I'm indifferent to YT.
Global OOC definitely needs to happen, though.
