Syncing totally destroyed the fun of RA
I like RA coz it's just random.
You can learn more different builds from it. And, I'll be really happy if sometimes I get on a randomly balanced/spike/whatever build.

Yes, syncers take the piss, but if you don't want to go against 'em, GO TO TEAM ARENA's!

like all exploits theres a trick to doing it right.

question : did you quit the team you joined those 10 times straight away?

If you did is it not an additional negative effect upon the whole gametype?

No, we played the game through, then waited for the other to lose, or if the team we were on was really bad and got lucky, I would quit after winning. edit:Quitting straight away wouldn't b possible =P

anyway... "If you did is it not an additional negative effect upon the whole gametype?"
Are you suggesting that failed syncing attempts might have a negative effect upon the game type? And that syncing should be made easier?

Well personally its not a big deal if you click enter at the exact same time as someone you know and you just so happened to get on the same team, I personally consider that just being lucky.

Now where I have a problem with it is if people leave matches to sync. They enter a match, don't get on the same team as their friend and leave in order to try again at a sync. Now this has been largely fixed with the /report feature.

Another issue I have with it is going to empty districts at times where very few people are playing and then syncing to farm glad points. Now you might say I previously said, "thats just being lucky." Well if you're going out of your way to get into an empty district and improve your chance at a sync well then you're actively trying to get around the randomness. I don't have a problem with ppl entering at the exact same time in full districts where you're just 2, 3 or 4 ppl in a sea of hundreds. Its when you go into empty districts to do it that irks me.

@ Wu is me, yes. But like Inger points out that bit has largely been fixed with the /report command (although that does not stop people from just playing badly so as to get out quicker).

IMO PvP is what ruined this game, the simply fact is that ppl need to cheat to win, with gimmick builds, and exploits. What happened to friendly competetion. It's all about winning, or farming. titles is what needs to be taken away, get rid of rank and fame and the glad title. But for all those who have there emotes, keep them. Why people why must you cheat?

Is sync-ing 2 pve monks a bannable offense? no, it certainly doesn't give a great advantage to a team and sometimes can be a big hinderance (draw games) + the random system does it all the time.

my friend and I synced this way the other day and got 6 glad (won 5 in TA lol).

also, wouldnt it suck to get banned if you and two other guildies ended up in the same RA. Big guilds like LaZy would disband...

All these idiotic people trying to act like the "1337" PvP'ers by whining how Ha/GvG is soooooo much more important than Ra should just go DIAF.
Who are you to say what is important? People like Ra,got a problem with that?Syncing is an abuse and should be stopped.
That hard to understand?

Oh the irony. And yes, GvG is the most important aspect of PvP, let alone the game, and so most efforts should be focused on improving/balancing it.

Go back to AD1 little scrub. Anyone can post here, but if you're just going to post stupid shit like "leet pvpers should stop thinking the world revolves around them", which is the argument 90% of pvers use to post in pvp threads, then just don't.

how is stopping people from syncing in RA going to screw the balance in GvG?
and next time you post,keep your degrading comments for yourself.

oh ok.

thanks for telling me, you do realize you are coming across as a genuine class A little gem i hope.

I could explain to you just why that layout is wrong even IF you were going for manga style but since you cant seem to grasp basic A B C logic i'll leave it at that.


ive had enough of your attitude on this thread, the OPs question/statement is "is syncing cheap and unfair gameplay in RA" the answer is yes, and just because you do it does not mean that anyone who DOESN'T is a noob a "QQ"er an idiot whatever.
