It's an expression, you are very sensitive if you take such simple words to heart so much.
you already saw mass player (like North Bandits) don't have FR for each member, only faction like BBS have many Fr for each players
I am in The North Bandits, you are telling me now how we are playing? Great.
BBS is as numerous as anyone currently, that's not the point, i hope i didn't make some of their members angry of using their faction name in this topic. The point is when two teams come equal in terms of players, alts play a huge roll, i have this feeling you didn't quite catch by what i mean snowball effect and the example was quite ineffective for you, hard to tell if it's because of your ignorance.
It's when a larger faction of more players use more alts than a faction with less players, per player.
Swarm, swarming has taken a whole new level. I don't approve that, if you don't like that, you could at least due without meaningless yapping about some militia witch is totally irrelevant.
Actually it brings less action. Players without fastrelog will simply stay out of action because they know they won't stand a chance.
Relatively, yes more alts will result in longer fights, but as well longer time to prepare and yes, i know some players who just simply aren't playing because of this FR in combat and i don't know anyone who will quit if he won't be able to use multiple per fight.
