Guess it just depends on your 16.
EDIT: I wasn't there at all last night, too much work etc. But I do know VE joining an already lagtastic campaign is possibly the last thing anyone needs unless 40 other active primetime DC players decide to leave. I see both points, but tend to side more with Jules and hiding behind large numbers.
It's not like we are taking keeps from inferior numbers, we were consistently fighting against more than what we had.
Not sure where the 16 man came up. Agree with your sentiment.
And we've been on Azuras for quite a while now, this isn't anything new. If the group size is 24, and you've got 24 guildies on, why not run with them all? 24 is the max group size. I get 16 is the cool number because it's smaller and 16 is maximum AP gains. If groups of 24 aren't stacking on top of each other I don't see the big fuss about it.
Well it does create more lag, and essentially removes a lot competition as it is somewhat rare you have to fight truly outnumbered, and almost never fight outnumber against other organized guilds. I say run with 16 if you are about the competition as many guilds before had done, some people aren't as concerned. And the argument that "Well they had more zerg power" is just hard for me to understand. You guys can only control what you do, but don't use others as an excuse haha..
Even if GoS had 24 and then 6 pugs, that's just essentially 6 free kills.
Regardless, the discussion is about AP gains and how large groups are pulling it off more successfully now than ever. Sure, winning fights is how you make AP, but people are now winning so many fights because they have so many players and all that entails.
It's Monday night at Raid time. Our old server Trueflame has 1 bar population yellow, blue, and red. Sorry to create lag on your server, but we don't feel like PvDooring all night. Or do you want us to murder the PvEers that maintain the Axe buff server. Or should we go into an underpopulated Haderus and just draw the ire of the people there for upsetting the balance and turning that into a lag server?
As someone who probably counts as a "pug" according to your definition since I don't affiliate myself with a Red Guild and occasionally am in the same fights as groups like GOS, I appreciate your honesty for how little I count in the grand scheme of ESO. K, I'm useless and free AP. Nice. I've seen you with a horde of yellows more times than I can count - the one night where Decibal, Alacrity, and every assorted yellow guild under the sun running circles around Arrius LM is something no EP who was will ever forget - so go right on ahead and try to hold yourself up as a shining example of what the ESO community ought to aspire to be.
el, Decibel.
And it was likely our two groups combined farming, or just a Deci group. And was still likely not full at all, and were farming actual guilds with pugs. And no I don't consider you a pug as you are an active player with an organized guild. Those aren't the players I am referring to.
And no, I don't blame VE for playing on an active server at all, anyone would do the same. Does not change the fact that another group will end up causing more of the same issues.
@Winnamine Why are we stopping at multiple raids? The game was designed for 24 in one group, but its mass PvP? I have 40 friends that I want to play with.
Like you have 40 friends.
(I joke! I kid! )
Well its at least down to 39 now -_-
R.I.P
As long as we're still friends, Muffin.
38 and counting..
hahah

That yellow hoard at Aleswell was legit. And people tell me I zerg, holy mother of Akatosh that was beyond TKO levels of raid stacking.
If you'd brought half as many I probably would have just let you have emp instead of taking Ash and Alessia.

Is fine with me is their time, the real challenge is to dethrone them, why complaining. To e honest if each faction would do their job, Crowning EMP wouldn't be such a cake walk. I like PvP to be competitive, i don't care about team orange, i don't care about AD zerg, i do care about having fun and good fights. The true here is that the game is broken and we have to deal with countless re log due to bad performance, extremely long logging screens, server reset during epic fights. There is nothing we can do about this but wait for the next best Real vs Realm game. So stop complaining, play the game and enjoy it, if you don't like it get a bottle Double Black and get drunk, playing the game from a drunk perspective is an entire new experience lol.

You a lost case brother, i see some potential Publius on you. You have fail to acknowledge that the entire situation here involve game broken mechanics and not attacking a faction or a guild. Either way i am going to make my money and keep rolling AP in my screen but i would like PvP to be more competitive and Zos have fail to delivered that experience. .

5:58 am is when I posted that. So yeah, 5 man.
Meth, Hektik, myself, Clerod, Vex and for some of it Aegon. No ones denying there was insane EP pug aggro, we were laughing at it ourselves. But to just assume we're in a 24 man is pretty daft. We were nowhere near a full raid before or after meth got crowned.
But grats on finding your way to the bottom of the cesspool legacy.

Much to say, but none of it would make any difference so what's the point? It's wonderful to see acknowledgement of the significant pug support though, that's an improvement.
Even though meth can be a dangerous emp, I've only ever heard good things about him (from all sides), so I'd certainly prefer him over some of the red that belong in Jules' cesspool legacy.

Ok all i did was makea statement which has been pretty indicative of the last 30 days of azura's...day 1 last cycle it was tough for ad to crown me emp, i went to bed and they crowned shendell at 9 am roughly...every crown emp was done in the sane fashion...all of alma ruma's are the same...meth last night is the same...only thing that hasn't has been bbq's first iirc. That's all i said in that statement...i know perfectly well the situation as I'm frustrated with having to fight 2-3 groups of blue wherever we go...i guess thanks that you think we're that much of a threat that you need that many to wipe us but come on...take crowns and many others advice and don't send the entire faction to defend one keep that's being hit by a group and some solo players...last night you were justified with having that many since we decided to play the numbers game we all hate (4 fps and 1k+ ping...don't see how that's fun for anyone)...but show some respect for your opponents by letting skill decide who wins and not lag, numbers, exploits etc.
