It's not that Azrael is the only one interested man. But look at what it takes to get a guild off the ground here with all the trolls, guild floppers and general retards. There just aren't enough people willing to put in the time and effort to running a guild. There is also an issue of this being a 300 pop box so the zerg guild is never going to have any recruitment standards. People aren't forced to come up through the ranks in lower tier guilds where they might find they like it and stick around.

Azrael would have had a fuckin' blast on RZ in 2000, it was exactly what you guys want for this server. No huge guilds, a lot of 10-15 person PVP focused ones and raiding only got accomplished through alliances with other guilds. I wish we could have that here but the deck is stacked against it.

Supply and demand. The problem is you have a zerg the promises an easy ride, and far too many people that want an easy ride coming here

If the supply of warm body benches stopped then the warm body blues would stop joining the zerg.

People who come from blue to actually experience red would have no issue fighting survival, instead of being care bear warm bodies in holo.

TLDR: stop offering an easy ride zerg, people will gravitate towards smaller guilds. PVP will happen, interesting alliances will be made and broken. Etc.

So you're asking for the guild full of players who want an easy ride to stop recruiting players who both desire and enable said easy ride?

Yeah not gonna happen. Holo is not going to change, because the way they play has them satisfying their own victory conditions.

And I think you're underestimating how many people wouldn't just say "shit Holo isn't accepting new members, I'll join another guild or make my own". I think a large portion of them would just say "fuck it I won't even bother switching from blue to red".

The entire server would be a lot better if people would just stop giving a shit how other people played and just did their thing.

Holocaust isn't zerging, just playing the game with pals that have a common goal of casually destroying the competition and neckbeards of the server with little to no effort.
