The thing you don't understand is that 75% of EP's zerg is going to chase those 2-3players who captured the scroll, and AD will take 2 keeps in the process. They have mentioned it several times in other threads which got deleted. Their plan is to get those keeps back, it's not even about capturing the scrolls even tho they did manage to bring 2 back in the 8 attempts so far.
I do actually understand that the zerg will chase down the scroll. It is just like any tower, outpost, or scroll farm. The objective is to occupy the opponents army with a trivial task. If your team isn't profiting off of a diversion then it isn't much of a strategy. Actually capture the scroll and all the merrier. Yesterday AD handed DC a scroll to force attention up north while we kept hold of Ash, BRK and below. IMO All is fair in war. The move certainly wasn't for team green.
The counter to these are good scouting, proper communication in zone, teamwork and an understanding when your opponent may attempt to distract. Until (IF) this gets fixed I think you should adopt a new strategy.
What you just explained make perfect sense regarding strategies and diversions. The only point you forgot to talk about is the fact that capturing a scroll without opening the gate first is against the rules. They already worked on a static field to counter it. You guys found a way to get around it. Still against the rules. If it would be allowed, I'm pretty sure that the Staff members would have mentioned it already to the whole community so we can all be clear about it and make it happen on YOUR side aswell.

If the other Alliances don't have a problem with it then, like I read earlier, "Alls fair in war" so do it. Problem solved, it's not a lack of strategy or stooping to a lower level. If a weak point in a wall them hit it hard.
lol well you got me thrice today! here's a cookie! explanation? you had more players! lol

When we enter a keep we'll go in one by one. 2. We wont cast any skills when they're available. 3. We'll always make sure to be spread out as far away from each other as possible. Because I mean, lets face it, Being stacked tight and using skills (especially the ones that require you to be within an 8 meter proximity) is in fact a serious exploit. Who needs to be in range of your groups buffs? Why are their even groups? Everyone should run solo and spread out, without the benefit of other skills that are not on your bar. We will stop. I promise.

And also if we could just retreat to DESHAAN, every time *(60 well skilled AD with single target abilities on their bars) will hit Arrius (BRK) or whatever they are in mood for....THAT would be great
*def for small group in AD dictionary when referring to AD troops (=lagfesting zerg blob impulse spammers monkeys if they were EP troops in the same dictionary)
just sayin'

This is a lie. Stop perpetuating this lie. You have no proof. There are no links. The only place you can find Brian Wheeler anywhere with this topic is from other threads and other forums with you saying the same thing.
Actually Brian Wheeler told us that taking a scroll while the gate is closed is not an exploit when we did it months ago.
