There's two things I notice quite a bit while playing in Syrtis. The first and most important one is the language barrier. I can repeat myself 1,000 times over that there's 2 archers and a mage SW of central save until my face turns blue. It won't make any difference cause 98% of the people i'm trying to warn don't understand a word I say. I'm trying to learn some basic spanish words to help bridge that gap but this takes time, and for now it sucks. The second is apathy. I've never seen so much indifference in my entire gaming career. People will literally watch their realmates die to enemies that pop back and forth into visual range to pick someone off and retreat. All the while they insist on continuing to lvl instead of helping their realmates run off the attackers. They simply stick closer to the save for protection. One persons reply was "Well we can't catch them". So instead of driving them off with a massed attack which would be insanely easy to do considering the size of people chilling at save. We just go on about our own business trying to hit that magical lvl 44 by the end of the day. Leaving the people entering through the gate, or any stragglers to die.
If this sounds like a rant....it's because it is.
