This kind of ties in with my last post about RP farming. Have you been in an RVR zone to only have destruction get the drop on you at every turn, or when you are in a less than traveled location? Well this is also what is happening on Skull Throne; there are a hand full of characters, most not even high enough to be in T4 who run around following the warband giving away its location.

Thanks to the heavy use of IM and voice chat, it is easy to get this information out, but when you are already in a situation where you are out gunned in every fight to only have one of your own giving away coordinates...there is a problem.

This issue was brought up to me by a guildie who noticed that we where getting jumped a lot, way more than normal over the past couple of days. In addition to that there was a lowbie following us who when we where attacked, he was left untouched, and in fact would run around in the destruction group while the attack was happening. So I have started to watch this and I find it interesting that people stoop to such a level for a kill, wait no I don’t I almost expect it. It is good that they have an agent among us, but without the ability to lose them for all intensive purposes we are stuck with someone always giving us up at every corner, by releasing numbers, how much support we have and exact locations.

I know Mythic really frowns on this practice, but it is also very hard to prove, in fact extremely hard to prove. So that leaves us with always having to expect the worst and preparing for the worst, but when you are always out gunned you are up a creek most of the time.

There's an interesting bug going around which enables people to see the Region chat of the opposing side. You may have been the victim of this amusing bug.

Oh I have seen that one as well, in fact I have been privy to the destruction chat a few times. I have taken that into consideration though, but most times we talk in tells or warband chat. I do think that the issue of seeing the other factions chat is a bit sketchy and really needs to be fixed though.

Mythic developers have officially condemned organized battle in which killing a specific character is discouraged.

Try pointing to that one. They're avoiding killing one certain character. They're discouraging combat to their own ends. I cant look up the post as I'm at work, but its something to keep in mind.

Horrible, disgusting, demeaning, and disrespectful.

I honestly don't think they would care really care though RP, in fact I am sure that is what they are going for, none the less "Horrible, disgusting, demeaning, and disrespectful" describes it all.
