Norb is correct in that this sort of tactic is perfectly valid in war. You feign attacks until the defenders grow lax then you launch a real offensive and take them unprepared. Of course suicide charges are not good practice but it's still historically accurate.

However this isn't really war is it? It's a game and people have their own lives outside of it. People have work to do or school to attend and staying up late in order to defend an OP at some odd hour is something people with lives find difficult to do. To say that people should be willing to just put up or shut up is being incredibly inconsiderate to the lives of others.

I applaud the actions of the CSRs because they are maintaining a level of consideration and fairness for people who's lives are being abused by false attacks. OP wars were designed to be important guild events, not a method of convenient harassment. I realise Norbs tactics are sound for real war but the tactics of the CSRs are infinitely more sound for being considerate to the real lives of the people playing.

War has no consideration, but this isn't real war with real armies that are employed to be willing to fight 24/7. It involves people with other lives, who play as a hobby, and as such they should respected and allowed to engage in battles as a fun guild event, so for one man's idle amusement.

That's just my two dappers on the subject anyway *shrug*
