Trin does use Teamspeak. And yes, for awhile people just recalled. We're working on that and people have started fighting back.
I also like how people have all of these cures yet one admits doesn't play. Where was this great direction when you were in the alliance?
Some talk about how others run from a spawn who don't ever go to champs to help defend them.
The most truth here is Slice. Champs just aren't worth it. The only reason I see champs as something viable is that it is something a large group of people can do together. The truth is, a lot of people in Trin are just bored with champs, PKs or not.
There is a whole map full of things to do. Dungeons, overland spawns. Do some boating. We're having a blast on the seas and hope the GMs will direct more into that mode of playing like a sea champ or something. There are places that people playing don't even know exist until I mention it. Like the Grotto or Abyss.
PVMers have options. Not everyone wants to pvp but they play here to be with friends. Player solutions are what is needed. Like all large zerg pk guilds, they'll get bored. If you stop doing champs, they'll stop coming and find something else to do with their time like run around Brit bridge. As much as I don't like it, $ and the other guilds have as much right to ruin our fun. So find something else fun to do.
I am going to do a weeklong event for our alliance where every night we go somewhere new and show the alliance that champs are not the end all of PVMing on this server.
It isn't my job to take care of 50+ people, there are guild leaders and emissaries for that. I am not bothered by the fact that champs aren't able to be done, I just offered a solution from a point of view that isn't directly involved yet I sense venom in your post.
I also think 'finding something else to do' isn't exactly a player driven solution as much as it is giving up.
