Can someone explain WHY these frenzics and toxns would be mass joining general chats?
The majority of boxers just autojoin out of laziness, but the mass botters doing it intentionally is a fact. It has been noticed on several servers especially in the early eras of a server. Why they do it is left up to much conspiracy and I've never seen definitive proof of the answer. One theory that I've heard quite a few times and makes the most sense to me is that the servers in which they choose to heavily invest their time in, they have a huge incentive to make the server appear as populated as possible in order to draw in more people. The more populated the server appears, the better it is for them in terms of krono gains. I've had several people tell me that Elderan is either one of the big mass boxers or some how connected with that group. Never seen proof or an admission of this so that could be entirely inaccurate, but I had a discord conversation with the two 32 boxers that existed on Aradune and they mentioned it, and was also told the same thing by another big boxer from mangler. Was told this was the main reason he pushes the general chat number as that is a number the botters can manipulate. Again I dunno if this theory is true, or maybe part of it is true and part of it isn't, i dunno. Just what makes most sense to me out of the several different things I've heard.
That's right, Luclin was the first one OGC really competed on and they won it. Before that they did the ST thing but not much else, guild was still on the way up.
The OGC win in luclin is something that's always funny to me when I really think back at it. It was a perfect storm. Literally every single thing went right for OGC to win that and everything had to go wrong for AOS to lose it.
-AoS didn't really know OGC was taking luclin serious (if you look back at forum posts, many AoS members posted they didn't know OGC was even planning to race Luclin)
-AoS wins if the GM's didn't respond to Dima when he told them the emp click up was broken in DZ's and didn't require a key and that AoS were planning to use it day one.
-AoS wins if dima isn't able to snipe the rifts on AoS OW kill, since at that time both OGC and AoS were locked out of emp DZ.
-AoS wins if dima wasn't able to sneak in our emp DZ kill by having all of our mains out in key zones while a small group of boxes were in the DZ starting the emp cycle, making AoS completely oblivious that we were just about to zone in to DZ with emp at the zone line.
Dima truly solo carried that entire thing.
I unfortunately lost a lot of my desire to play phinny after the PoP launch where AoS corpse banked 18 lvl 65's in order to guarantee the expansion win. I completely understand why they did it though, they absolutely couldn't risk losing a second expansion in a row and also that was a tactic Dima had used against them on a prior server. But that big of an exploit to win just made me lose motivation to race on that server. It was probably a good thing AoS won pop though in terms of all the future races they had. AoS might have imploded if they lost a second expansion in a row.

's methodology years before anyone even knew about it.
