Looking at these is interesting, because in almost every single one the Elyos have more players online but less at siege.
That coupled with the people complaining that Elyos have less players (all the while it's untrue on both servers) really makes SL-E look like the "I want my participation trophy" faction. It sucks for the people actually showing up and putting in a ton of work, but what is anyone supposed to do about it?
- If Asmos reroll Elyos then the numbers advantage only grows larger.
- If Asmos start to give Elyos more free forts / contest forts less Asmos kill any morale Elyos currently have.
- If NCSoft gives Elyos anything more than just XP boosts it will cause an unstoppable swing in momentum, because Elyos already have the numbers advantage.
There's no real solution to incentivize Elyos players to attend sieges that doesn't just completely flip the scenario on it's head, because the issue isn't a lack of players it's a lack of attending players. It would be different if Asmos had 1500 people online and Elyos only had 1000.
The point remains the same - The faction that refuses to play the game seems to expect rewards for doing so. The goalpost just moves from "people aren't sieging" to "people aren't leveling." I see the complaints here, and have both personally experienced and observed every single one of them happen to Asmos as well. If you really want to use "I get ganked" as an excuse, go somewhere you can't be ganked.
