The biggest problem is complete lack of pvp leadership on the West side.
That and everyone is running around in small scale pvp specs so when those two things come together you get shit on in these large scale pvp events.
The east have Shawnsy and his band of autists, who, whether you like them or not have a lot of capable players/leaders and other general players who are willing to encourage pvp. Whereas on West, even the “better” guilds like me too and buying time don’t have much of a presence at these events.
Back in the days where PANTSU would play these events and be outnumbered with a potato faction, the way we would win is leading from the front, as the faction would see the momentum and shift we created, they would join in and we would win those fights.
Buying Time / me too need to step up and start taking 15-30 people min to these events and leading the charge on their end via voice comms and showing the West running isn’t the best option.
