    It's actually pretty self explanatory.

    But, let me help ruin my own implied joke by explaining ad nauseum what I mean.

    Video 1 is of a martial arts badass taking on 30 trained martial artists at once and kicking the crap out of them including their master at the end. (What players think they are, a complete badass that can solo everything)

    Video 2 is of a foolish (but well intended) cavalry charge into a situation they have no chance of winning. The player can either be the guy with the gatling gun (the FOTM cheese build) or the underequipped army of lemmings being fed to the cheese. Another way of looking at it would be the new era of snipers pegging away at someone from safety, while the actually good players are cut down because they arent using the new FOTM (notice they did slaughter the bads on the ground with them first)

    Ah, thank you. :smile:

    Video 1 shows an application of the popular wuxia trope Conservation of Ninjutsu, which states that "In any martial arts fight, there is only a finite amount of ninjutsu available to each side in a given encounter. As a result, one Ninja is a deadly threat, but an army of them are cannon fodder."

    I do not buy into the claim that any number of players seriously believe themselves of being able to make a stand against an opposing army and survive. Any time spent in Cyrodiil will teach them that in short order, because there are next to none one-on-one fights to be had, and contrary to what movies would often try to make us believe, no group has the courtesy to attack one member after another, ever.

    Players being who they are, they will always be on the lookout for a) the path of least resistance, and b) the highest efficiency at achieving anything. So Video 2 is correct in that players always try to be the guys with the gatling guns, or the guys who can safely strike out without fear of retaliation, or in general, be on the winning side. That's just human nature, and can't be faulted.

    But I now see that indeed the joke lies in opposing exaggerated wishful thinking and stark reality. :wink:
