This is what I typically see in larger groups - players roll around in a blob from territory to territory getting capture XP and avoiding the enemy. When the blobs meet it is by chance, not intent. When players try to stop the blob they usually get rolled and have little choice but to find their own team's blob and roll with it. Larger outfits have the numbers to chance this behavior, which is why I don't see it on ops. Seen several reddit threads pop up about this sort of thing too.

Seems to be a combination of playing the territory control game + path of least resistance....but it isn't fun...at all. Its the exact opposite of what I experience in outfit play where we intentionally go after the enemy and pick fights because that's where the entertainment is.

Any feedback from the PSU community on contributing factors to this behavior? I have my own thoughts but I'd like to learn what y'all think is going on here.

I honestly think that this situation (which occurs a TON on Genudine due to the moderate numbers of players everywhere except the Crown), can be solved with a couple of changes:

1) Drastically increase exp gain when fighting in territories where you are very outnumbered. I would love to defend, except I have a 2-3 KDR when fighting equal numbers. It drops down to ~1 or less if I am taking on the zerg outnumbered. I hate how slow I gain exp (and less importantly the hit my KDR takes) when I try to fight the zerg.

2) Bring back squad-only galaxy AMS. Allowing squads to attack territories without having to travel on foot is a huge deal. My outfit and I normally roll in groups of 1-2 squads. We often don't even get to our objective, because we run into the zerg or get bombed by air. It is really not fun, but we have to go on foot, because we NEED a spawn point (sunderer).

If we could travel in gals with squad spawn, it would be faster, safer, and give us the vital spawn point we need. It would also let us outmaneuver the zerg without getting farmed (or at least not farmed as often).
