Yes, we've warred a lot recently, and we've also lost a lot.
It's not that our opponents are better than us on paper - none of them are. It's that we're rusty.
Those clans have been having one or two miniwars a week for the past... three months. We were less active.
Warring is practice, it's training. Each time you get KOed, it's a reminder that next time you should be careful. Each time you war, you familiarize more with the clicking patterns or switch from robes to armor faster.
Each time we lose, we can learn from the loss by:
1) Localizing our weaknesses
2) Finding out how we can improve our tactics
How did the top PK'ing clans get so good in individual skill such as tanking, hybriding, sniping...?
It wasn't through practice sessions involving only their clan, it was through endless hours of doing the same thing - piling, hugging, binding, sniping in a PK Run In.
Now PK Run Ins are gone, but the more you fight, the better you'll fight, that's what I believe in.
Losses are inevitable at the beginning of our "de-rust-ization", but I can guarantee that if everybody attends and tries to improve each time, stays focused, we'll pick up speed sooner or later, and start winning.
I'm willing to host practice sessions, but do attend.
We're healthy guys - a large amount of us are active, there is no drama. It's a really good base to build on and improve steadily - let's keep going in that direction
