Warfare & Tactics

For some reason there seems to be a huge push from experienced Gallente pilots to try and discredit our (TEST AND CalMil included) accomplishments in Faction Warfare. You are crawling over each other to accuse us of either trying to scam CalMil members with our programs or constantly tell us the goals we've set and reached are not goals at all and are the result of some mystical pendulum.

We set out to reach T4 in FW, we have done that.
We set out to control a majority of the warzone, we have done that.
We are offering an LP to ISK cash out service to help line members make ISK without crashing the market
We are offering an ISK for AWOX program to Gallente pilots which is paying out

We are not lying to anyone. Our programs are not scams. They are created with newbros and line members in mind. Everything we have said we have accomplished has been accomplished. Every public program we put in place is very real. Yet GalMil spends their time accusing us of trying to cheat people or diminishing our accomplishments, pushing the goalposts. The only thing you have to show for your efforts are some ~kbstats~.

The problem with GalMil has become clear, you have lost sight of what a big part of FW should be and that is a training ground for newbro's. None of you GalMil 'big dogs' are concerned about warzone control because you've been doing this so long you have alts cashing out in CalMil space and have been sitting on piles of ISK so all you need to do is sit back in your sniping ships and camp gates. No newbro is learning anything from that and certainly not making the ISK they SHOULD be. YOU may not care about FW control but I would bet the poor GalMil line members do. The newbros who were hoping to make some isk and learn to PVP are suffering. I can't count the amount of times I've been told by the GalMil leadership that they don't care about warzone control. You wear your disregard for new Gallente militia members like a badge of honor, it's a shame.

GalMil newbro's, if you're reading this please believe our programs are real. These are not lies. These are not tricks. These are not scams. You will get quality ISK for your efforts. You will cut your teeth in PVP against the GalMil elitists. You will not be forgotten with us like the GalMil 'elite' have forgotten about you.

all of the above is true, we are taking your space, and its fun

Our topics are merely offering our services or celebrating reaching a goal. Experienced Gallente pilots have replied to each and every one to try and discredit them much like you are now. Your reply is further proving my point.

Don't be fooled Gallente newbro's, when the Gallente leadership and old guard say they don't care about warzone control, they MEAN it. You suffer, they do not.

I was really shocked when we joined FW. The stakes are lower and the fleets smaller, large scale battles are dozens rather than hundreds of people, players can join in fast and fun PvP without huge amounts of skillpoints, and you don't need nearly the same level of organisation as nullsec alliances. Naturally I thought this would mean that there would be less anger, less xboxlivesque smacktalk in jabber, and a bigger focus on enjoying the game and helping new players find their feet.

How wrong was I.

I have heard more rage, more weak pride-saving justifications, more dickwaving and elitism here than I ever did in nullsec. It's no exaggeration to say that I've heard more excuses for Galmil dropping to tier one than all of TEST made when it permanently lost several regions, one of which we'd held for years.

Galmil, I'm afraid you're letting your rage blind you. TEST can teach you many things if only you'd listen. We remember it is only a game, we put a higher premium on how cool people are to chill with than their KB stats, and we foster an environment where new players are welcomed and encouraged to go welp dozens of free ships so they might learn and have fun instead of being ridiculed for their KBstats.

The best thing you can do Galmil is get over yourselves and learn from our vastly superior culture.

More attempts to discredit our attempts to provide a fun, ISK filled experience for new and old players alike - color me shocked.

I'm sure a selfish GalMil such as yourself who cares not for the needs of your newbro's wouldn't understand.

Confirming FW is training area and not about instant PVP, free wardec. and being payed for PVPing.

When taken into the context of flying mostly frigs and dessies, please answer what the difference between infinity * 4 and infinity is? The answer will give you insight into why we are the way we are.

-confirmed-

i love TEST too

!!!

Test has always been about newbros: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96b7Jk5xCTQ

I don't doubt you have "higher" (read: SP and kbstats) requirements. That's exactly what we've been saying: you're elitist. Remember: it's just a game!

Your own PR guys claimed that Cal Mil were a broken faction before TEST got here. That same broken caldari faction claimed the same warzome control a few months before TEST even joined FW.

Im not here to explain the pendulum, im just here to exploit it.
