about two minutes later his group dies to 3 groups of albs near the green knight and they start complaining about it on /gu. we come kill the albs, but his group has already released. there is talk in /g of how we need to move together, and i point out that emal agreed to move with us before anyone ported to albion but, as they did the night before, have taken off on their own and died for it. we talk about meeting between surs and ber again but emal says he refuses to stick to my group. celest talks with him and says she will drive, so after hesitating a minute, i stick to celest. we wiped out on the hib zerg at beno several minutes later and most people in my group log.
i'm sorry, but this entire mess is absurd. personally i think emalei feels insulted that a lower realm rank is trying to lead his group somewhere, which i find asinine. it could also be that he doesn't like my driving, which is understandable
i'm a crazy driver, but if this is the case why is he agreeing to follow my group in the first place?
my view of this is fairly simple: i've taken the initiative to invite another group to follow mine, which the other group has agreed upon, to both function as a guild in rvr and to fight zergs with. the other group is backing out of this deal and then blaming me when they've died for running off alone and said nothing before hand. i couldn't careless if someone doesn't like the way i drive or lead groups, but for me to initiate something another accepts and them to blame me for their failures is idiotic.
i clearly lead decent groups - i'm earning between 160 and 200k realm points per week on a limited weekday play schedule
and making almost none of them in emain. my driving is a little crazy but noone who groups with me often complains about it anymore because it works. ask anyone how often groups get the jump on us vs we do them unless i'm doing something stupid
