I was in a lvl 100 tower fight today where i was the attacker. I was in the mist of a fight with an org member my lvl from the defender side. There were a group of high lvl players 150+ standing arround healing the person i was in a fight with (which is a problem in itself) but then all of a sudden i was attacked by the higher lvls and down I went.
I petitioned it thinking that it was a bug or exploit but the ark informed me that any lvl player can attack a lower lvl player if they are defending their towers. That means if a bunch of lvl 50 players are tring to take down a lvl 50 tower, a lvl 200 member from the defending guild can come in and just cream them all.
Is this true? And if so...... what??????? That is completely unballenced in favor of the "uber" guilds.
Personnaly i think if this is the case then the system dosent allways work correctly because i know there have been times where i have been defending my tower and was unable to attack certain members of opposing guild because they were two low.
I also would like like some clarification of what defines you as an attacker when you are in a tower fight. In this case I had not attacked the tower but someone in my org did. I can understand this making you an attacker. But I was in another fight were noone had attacked anything yet we had just stepped into the zone and one of my guildmates was attacked by a lvl 190 trader.
As i see it now:
-If you attack a tower you are considered an attacker.
-If another member of your org attacks a tower you are considered an attacker.
Those two i know and understand. But....
If you attack a member of the org of the defenders are you considered an attacker?
If you are attacked by a defender are you considered an attacker?
Is there any other oddball stuff that considers you an attacker? Like if you are in a team that is attacking the tower or a reflect sheild or anything like that.
I would really like to know so that i can run as fast as my legs will carry me if im about to creamed by 10 lvl 180 omni :P
In any case if your under lvl 150 better make some high lvl friends to escort you if you ever plan to attack a bigger guild. <sigh>
