Having been in warring clans pre-wildy removal, I have to strongly agree with this statement.

It's easy enough to get pissed off at people who aren't attacking the target you are, but you also have to remember that there is mass confusion in fights, and sometimes it's decently hard to pull a single guy out of a pile when the only thing that is being called is "west!" Where is west? West of what? Sometimes people need to get their bearings, and while they're doing that I think they're much better off fighting down someone else while looking for their target than sitting with their thumbs up their asses.

I'd also like to make another comment on the issue of the rage-bind that really turned me off of PvP. this "hybrid" style that's heavily worshiped seems to be ineffective when you're trying to be mobile in rune. Casting binds while trying to melee someone is going to fail 98% of the time (which was the case). Instead of trying to make everyone hybrid binders and cost them three spaces of food, why not set aside dedicated mages with a rune set for tanking who are practiced at binding, that way everyone else isn't worried about shuffling through their spell books to bind, clicking their str pot, trying to find a target, trying to chase the target, trying to fall in again, re-shuffling through their spell books, rinse, repeat.

Tl;dr: It's my strong opinion that the mass confusion caused during the fight was from poor directions and complications with the hybrid system. Perhaps we, as a clan, should take a bit to debate the necessity of a two-style system with all builds, and take a few days to rename cardinal directions and things like that to fixed landmarks (calling pentagram instead of "center" for instance) since not everyone will be at a position relative to the name caller?

Either way, I had fun.
