a) is it possible to change this?
b) is it possible to make it so people can recruit others into their team while the team is under attack?
it is hard for a small / medium sized guild to defend their tower.
usually it ends up being a "help we are under attack at xyz" spam in ooc and lft.
say i board my plane and zip on over i will not be able to join the defenders team and count as other thus making both a defence and offence extremely difficult to coordinate.
unless we have bully guilds there dishing it out, most people who attack/defend will be of several smaller guilds.
i think it would be more fair to somehow evade this since i see the largest portion of the battle groups will be (at least while nw is still fairly new) the "others".
