Midyer Mayhem this year

L_Nici · February 20

I really don't know what happened, but this years MYM feels dead. It was never this way. I mean we are used to shrinking player numbers but during MYM PvP felt alive, but this year it just doesn't. Instead you sit 1.5 hours in a queue to enter a campaign where nothing is happening, where there is no more players than on any usual day, where all alliances are poplocked, but the players are nowhere to be found.

Its sad, just sad. MYM was always a joy, it was full there were tons of groups, but now there is nothing more except the longer queue duration.

I mean speaking for myself, as a mostly pve'er... I used to enjoy mayhem. It was the one time I felt like I could have some lighthearted pvp fun and have people around who were at the same (nearly clueless) level as me. I remember some big battles in IC or at a cyro keep that went on for hours. I think more randoms would get picked up by Cyro groups back then too, when the cap was 24.

Anyway, for whatever reason(s), the last couple of mayhems haven't felt the same and I've entirely lost interest. Very minimal interest in my pve oriented guilds as well, except for bg's. Between the proc sets, performance, skill gap, and smaller groups, it's overall not very welcoming for a new or casual player. I let my sub run out and will be playing something else for 2 weeks, and I know others who feel the same.

It's too bad, it really did used to be a fun time.

I only play PvP, I haven't had the chance to log in today. It's very disheartening to hear that the event isn't bringing more people into PvP. I always have looked forward to this event because of the influx of player, with the influx Imperial City becomes a target rich environment for ganking. Hopefully the population will increase once we are closer to the weekend.
