Is it like that?Follow

The answer to this is usually very simple, combat is as messy as the people who engage in it. Organized combat is only for the first few moments of a battle, after that discipline kicks in. Without some kind of system or training combat is very sporadic. Heck even with years of training you still get caught by surprise or the plan fails.

I don’t know for sure but combat usually only looks organized if you’re winning, and meeting a small amount of resistance. Melee combat looks wilder in any situation. Chances are that it looks like chaos because it is.

A major raid will take tactical skill, or overwhelming numbers and luck. Tactics decide who leaves the battlefield, numbers only determine how many fall upon it.

Bringing superior numbers to a battle field is part of the tactic itself. This is an MMO, i bet alot of the "random" spell casting you saw was sleeps an stuns ect being cast on priests and other mages as the raid leader calls out targets over team speak. Unless it was just an unorganized brawl, in which cause yeah it could have been.

The bottom line really is that these characters are each individually controlled by other human beings. There isnt 1 person controlling 12 people at the same time directing them all at a specific spot, so having the level of organization you're used to in a WarCraft game is pretty much impossible.

From what I'm reading it looks as if you prefer PvP consensual. Fast pace is fun because it gives more a feel that you're in war, do you want to have battles where every single person is basically having a duel with each other? The reason why you think the server is sloppy is that the main tactic in any MMORPG PvP is zerging.

IDK, I'm still holding all my PvP giddyness for when battlegrounds come out.

Can you say squeel like a lil school girl?
