The pitfall of CR5s?

[Sploogey]

today we were on Hossin on emeraly for a good 3 hours holding against both NC and TR zergs when he had half of either of their populations
and like always the CR5's were ranting how Hossin was useless and we should abandon our only pop lock contintnt which we were making progress in
but alot of ppl didnt and a few of the CR5's on Hossin kept doing continent wide messages saying to ignore them rightfully so
but 1 CR5 in particular, mental888 didnt like having us grunts disobeying orders and came to Hossin and blew the gen on a friendly facility we were defending, we almost lost the facility as a cause of him but we deffended it sucessfully and finally pushed the NC off until a larger TR zerg swiped us off a couple hours after

the point is are the CR5s getting so desperate to get their every whyms listened to and obeyed that they would sabatoge a friendly base to try and get us kicked off and make us deffend searhus against the deadly 8 man TR zerg force
any way we got around 10-25 angry ppl not only in my outfit but alot of other CR5s to /report him

One of the main problems with CR5s is that none of them agree on tactics. Now I was not on tonight so I dont know the exact situation or how the world stood at this time, but if we were loosing most of the world I would personally have abandoned hossin to leave it to the NC and TR to fight over freeing up soldiers to make advances on other continents.

Ideally, each empire should have a front engaging each of the other two empires. And if the NC and TR werent currently engaging each other on another front I would have left hossin for them to do that otherwise it will just end up a stalemate while the other two zergs (one NC and one TR) sweep through the rest of our friendly territory leaving the VS with a few bases caught between 2 larger enemy zergs. But then again that's just me.

However, even though in this case I would have agreed with mental888 (which i usually dont), it is just a game and people tend to like hard fought battles over actual tactics ESPECIALLY when those tactics involve abandoning your current battle. Like I said, its just a game and what mental888 did in this case was totally unacceptable and i probably would have reported him too.

Lots of CR 5's do know what they are talking about sometimes, just try listening to them at every request for a week and see if you win or lose, that will help you to understand why CR 5's do what they do sometimes.

[BUGGER]

It may have been a good chioce to leave, but what that guy did was stupid. Really, he should get a temp ban, or a weapons lock or something. RETARD.

[Baneblade]

The only way to understand the backpack is to wear the backpack...

[Sploogey]

so cause u cant get ppl to listen to u u go and destroy their efforts
i may not be CR5 but i do understand how to command and doing what he did was not good commanding
it was a desperate attempt to make ppl do what he said after spamming the Global Channel with "Come to searhus and ill give u a cookie" bull shit and how we were a useless force and stood no chance here when we had 2 hacks going b4 the gen went down at Mulac and we lost our hacks

[Zatrais]

The CR5 that blew the gen was a wanker, simple as that.

Altho you should probably have left the TR and NC to duke it out and cap the rest of the world.

Understanding why CR5s make a decision isn't the point in this case. In this case it has nothing to do with the fact that the majority of the CR5s asked everyone to leave hossin. The fact is, if mental888 came into the cont and purposely destroyed a friendly base to try and make them do as he said, it is unnacceptable on any level.

I was on last night, and the decision to leave the 3-way on hossin was a good one. I pulled out when the call came and went to reinforce the caves. However, that didn't give me the right, as I was leaving the cont, to destroy friendly equipment to make people leave with me. They do still have the free will to play the game as they see fit.

[_-Gunslinger-_]

Send him a tell. I do it all the time and get my what I want told to everyone or a ghost hack where I want. You would be suprised how many CR5's are just lost in what they are doing. I would like to point out that the decision to leave was the right one. However he went too far. That was just childish and he hopefully gets a temp ban.

[NinjaBob]

what they need to do about the cr5s is make a ladder of command...only a few could become "elite" and others would be lower than that...not more cr ranks but a system that would allow only the "elite" few could use global..the next in line continental...and the rest the cr5 command chat. or give them their own leading merit system..the more stars the cr5 has the greater his title. 5 stars of experience (maybe CEP). 5 full stars = elite cr5.

[Lartnev]

But how will the elite be selected?

[Baneblade]

Elite come Pre Approved.

[Lartnev]

By whom?

[Radaeron]

Hehe, curious, VS Werner did something similar to this not too long ago I believe.

[KeviN]

I play as an NC CR5, and I've gotta say, we have way too many CR5's focused on just dominating the game, and not on having fun. I wish I had a picture to show you what was said to me in /c chat when I was on a "worthless" continent.

The thing that bothers me about this game is that every day it basically resets. Every day we will zerg and spam for those same continents that we did the previous day. I just think it would be nice to have a few more CR5s focused on good fights, and less on just turning the world blue.

[Sploogey]

rightly said
and there comes the SOE approved CR6s or elite CR5s

[slytiger]

One of the problems with the cr5's is they dont always work together. For example, there are two cr5's leading 2 battles seperately, one on hossin and another on amarish. Both of them want to succeed so they will try to call more forces even if it means to take them from the other's front. Now im not trying to say that all cr5's do this but all it takes is one of them to mess up world wide strategies.

[CassH]

I was CR0 and i had a beter knowlage of tactics then most CR5s why are there so many stuiped kids geting high CR?

Because all that adults have JOBS, where they go and get MONEY, then they only have a little time to work on PS. Most kids have all day ( except school ) to work on their CR, thus, the reason why most CR5's are under 16.

[Sploogey]

haha very true which explains alot of their "decision" making which is often controversial

[Kikinchikin]

Even from playing the free week, I could tell that there's really no point to being a CR 5 anymore. Command chat was even worse then back in the day (I got CR 5 end of October), and of course there was no agreement on tactics. There are way too many of them now, enlarging the chance that one of them could be an idiot. Therefore, no one listens to them anymore.

[SilverLord]

I hate how all you "older" folks think every kid is just worthless and such. I just turned 17, have my own car, pay for planetside by myself, and that thing called a job, yea got that too. To tell you the truth, i bet I am pretty much better than alot of the CR 5's here just because i focus on what? The grunts that are fighting, if they want to stay, they stay, it my not win the world but it sure as hell is fun. Stop being so stubborn and play the game, get CR 5, then show me your l33t tactics. Then and only then come bitching on the PSU forums.

[Baneblade]

It took my less than 48 hours to want to go back to CR4 after getting CR5. The bitchin wasnt worth the bigger OS and CR5pam.

[Majik]

Look everyone, there it went. The point of the original thread jumped right out that window over there. I saw it :D
