@Dylara I'll note that you don't want to defend. I was definitely counting you as someone who was willing to fight, that's my mistake.
I know it's annoying to some people, but I do like to send tells to gauge if there's any actual interest in having a fight. For me that's what's fun in Lusternia, I understand and accept that it's not what's fun for you.
I hope you don't get too worked up about any raids. They're mostly harmless in the end.

It's the frequency.
Avurekhos says, "Dylara's a PvP menace in my eyes, totes rekting face."
The eye of Dylara materialises in your hands and flings itself around your neck, tightening incomprehensibly until it is irremovable. Perfectly clean, this eyeball has been wrenched from the socket of Dylara. It has been animated by some unusual force, constantly looking around itself as if in shock or fear. It is bathed in a light covering of white flames that roll endlessly over its surface. A single chain of empyreal metal pierces either side of the eye, allowing it to be worn around the neck.
I see you guys around when I'm around (not so much Ciaran). You could raid the people that are always willing to fight. I think we've put ourselves out there enough at this point.
Lets be honest - you didn't start playing 4 months ago. Maybe on Twytch, but you're well aware of other things that have happened in the much farther past than 4 months ago, you also likely know that credit prices have been a pretty stable 40k-50k for probably at least a year now, if not longer. Sometimes it swings higher, others it drops a bit, but 40k average seems pretty consistent.
Yup, last time I played was 2010-13, and I remember prices back then was at 20k when I left. I don't see how that's relevant -- if anything, it shows that Lusternia's economy is even more outrageously broken, considering Achaea's moves at a slower pace (6k-7k over a three-year period). Even Imperian's credit price inflation is pretty low, and gold generation there is much easier (there are areas which generate a ridiculous amount of gold).
Yeah. We're not stupid, you're transparent in both your constant attacks against a specific org and your methods of attacking them, and a lot more things we aren't allowed to talk about on the forums. Nice try.

Part of what happened with the credit economy was travel curios getting sold for gold. We quite suddenly had a very obvious comparison between like products, one at a gold price, and one at credit price.
I'm Lucidian. If I don't get pedantic every so often, I might explode.

Hey I'm gonna try to stay up a bit later tonight! What time do you and the crew get online?
Take great care of yourselves and each other.

I'm at the point where I'm wondering why I even play any more. All I do lately is deal with raids, which are not fun for me, and I never do the things that were fun for me.
Do what's fun for you. Seriously. Screw everything else. This is a game, and you play it first and foremost to enjoy yourself. I spend 99% of my time chitchatting, designing, and shopkeeping, and while it doesn't make me the most useful member of my org, it definitely makes me enjoy logging in. That's all you gotta do. If anyone gives you grief about how you spend your time, then they've forgotten that this is a game you play to have fun. It's not an obligation and it's not a job. It's a hobby.
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
I personally feel the "Are we doing this?" tell is incredibly insensitive and uncalled for when you are raiding their territory. You are looking for a fight / instigating against people who may or may not want it themselves. It is different in neutral territory if they come after you and then just sit in a huddle somewhere, but when they are in their org territory and you are the invader they are under no obligation to "give you what you want". If you are not getting the fight you want, I feel that you should just leave. It is pretty easy, and doesn't end up making the people you send tells to feeling like you are taunting / trolling them (regardless of how you intend it to sound, I can easily see how any defender unhappy about defending constantly would take it that way). Be polite / good sports about it. After all, if you discourage the people you are raiding, you're just going to end up with fewer people bothering to show up.
That said, I do feel there is a slight difference if someone was instigating and you chase them back into their territory. In that case they were looking for a scuffle, to me. But for a person who was doing their own thing, it is better to either be encouraging-- or, at the very least, just not say anything at all.

Honestly, a lot of the times seeing things like this on forums as an effective noncom often feels like someone saying "We're over here in Alcatraz with the National Guard, but you and your Civil War Re-enactment troupe are welcome to attack any time you want."
The Earth to Nil one is on the entrance of the Citadel of the Rock (leads to the eastern side of Nil). Similar to how the Water to Celestia one is outside the Grotto and leads to the western side of Celestia.
Or you could always raid us when we're around. Fun times.
EDIT: With that said, WTB permanent rifts from Fire -> Vortex and Air -> Continuum a la Water/Earth.
We do
I must miss all of it, the single defense I've participated in for the whole past two weeks is the Averice/Ceros combo yesterday with Ciaran (we were defending EtherSeren, heh). Other than that, most of the group combat has been offensive raids (or revolts, I suppose; the last one had a bit of a fight).
I've seen you around plenty during my playing times. If you missed it, it's probably because you afking in havens or something. There's been several raids this last week.
It's not like you of all people actually want to fight though.
I do not like this change to forum posts. Not one bit.

That's your go-to insult, except it's really not true.

Ok I'll just remember your 'sphere and run to the Matrix tactics' the last time you 'wanted to fight' You know, the one I called you out on. Actions speak louder than words, and your actions continually show that you don't want to actually fight.
The grind brings more tears the closer I get to the goal.
I've done it six times. You'll make it.

@Twytch Are you gonna let him say that to you? Come on say something back.

Please don't encourage stupid Tweets fights. Not taking the bait is the correct response.
But @Phoebus, what about the peoples on the sidelines with the popcorns? What are we supposed to watch if there are no fights?

Wouldn't you rather watch something besides reruns of the same fight that gets played every week?
I didn't make this popcorn for nothing, Phoebus.
