Kiting stuff, keep it here!

[Malong]

I beg to differ.

It's just fact. "Forces" rhymes with "crosses," your replacement choices ("bent swords" and "bear furs") don't rhyme. The corresponding words aren't even the same meter either, since the break between syllables is shorter than the break between words.

Anyways, on the topic of kiting, the claims that shield walls are more teamwork is a logical fallacy. Just because there's fewer people does not mean that there is any less cooperation and teamwork. It may just be that it's less apparent because with a full server you have more resources (players) such that you assign specific players to dedicated roles. With fewer resources (players), each resource has to have a higher impact. This manifests itself such that while kiting, everyone has to take on multiple roles and individually, on a simplified level, use more effort and play more efficiently.

Also this:

Quick preface: I didn't kite before the patch, and I don't kite now. The nerf was a bad and unnecessarily indirect way to discouraging kiting. For example, they could have just further decreased the strength of ranged weapons, the armor and absorption of ranged classes (if they are to be glass cannons), the speed and maneuverability of ranged classes, or any of the mix of the previous.

Beyond that, the complaint that solo players received all the rewards from their kills is and was always nonsensical. If any player does all the work and killing, they should have gotten all the rewards from their kills. But for some reason, this logic doesn't carry over to NI, and the borderline envy of the players that were able to handle bots on their own without other players somehow won out.
