Farming v Containing

Farming = Farming for 20 minutes.

Containing (Glorified farming, a plague in the twink community) = Farming for 10 minutes and 3 capping.

What's the similarities? You are taking the competition out of a competitive setting and ruining the game for another person. I really hope things aren't as bad as I'm hearing, considering I'm on vacation and there's a lot of people complaining about glorified farmers.

GY Farming, GY Containing, so what if one's more justifiable? They BOTH damage the bracket.

So easy to counter my little friend. All res at once. If you are getting farmed usually means you are beaten by a better team.

End of thread please.
 
i don't see whats wrong with escorting your flag carrier as safe as possible.
 
Lets just tie. Shaking my head at these "unfair" comments. The better team contains so they dont have to fiddle faddle around 15 minutes and just win quick and hope to get into a competitive game.

People gy camp cause the opponent rezs and feeds them honor.No one farms corpless gy.

I agree with Metro. I prolly don't belong in this thread but it seems like this there's alot of qq for nothing.
I know most of you f2ps have ratail accounts.. so why not just get a 24 group and return the favor, at least end their fun and stop them from doing it. If you are unable to compete the only thing you can do is up you're game. Enough said.

Cuz not everyone shares the kind of mindset of "1-upping" the other like you do. Not everyone else will allow themselves to stoop to the farmers level (figuratively of course). I don't mean to go after you or your comment but the whole mindset of what you're explaining here has started the downfall and will continue to be the downfall of this bracket.

OP comp of dps? Let's make a OP comp of healers so they can't do anything and we 1 up them. 5 person premade? Let's make an OP 5 man to 1 up them. 5 person 24 premade? Let's make a 10 man 24 premade to 1 up them. Better F2P players? Let's make a 5 man spriest comp to 1 up them. When you share this viewpoint it's sort of like there is no such thing as "bad" or dishonorable and whatever someone else stoops to you will just stoop lower to get a win or to counter them.... Idk maybe it's just human nature but it's something I've had a few discussions about and noticed in your post..
 
^^ This.

'Someone else is doing it' has to be the world's most pathetic excuse. There's a reason the phrase is 'Monkey see, monkey do.'
 
All im trying to say is there's nothing you can do about it.. I see all this qq about farming but to be quite honest there's not one f2p or a f2p comp that can make a difference. If you want something to change you need to try and do it you're self. I don't try and one up people lol i like going against other 5 mans when im in a group because its fun.. i mean thats why we play games right? f2p happens to be in the way, if you dont like that than maybe pay for reatail like this game is supposed to be played and you might have a chance.
 
All this talk of farming makes me want to pug

One post really speaks miles about the kind of person you are. Welcome to TI :) You will either be gone by next month or shunned so much that you will quit anyways. Gratz on your p2p reroll fotm 20 hunt gy farming skillz!


Really sad as this thread seemed to be having a nice mature convo but then the sun went down and they came out :/ At this rate it will be locked by sunrise probably
 
Hey guys, how's it...

Containment premades used to be pretty standard from AP, during CTA, when gearing. Flags were relayed while we prevented the other team from achieving anything objectively. We didn't actually farm the GY. We just sat off a ways and kept them from leaving. The honor is great but of course there's no challenge. The idea was to win a bunch of games in a short time. The smart people sat and had picnics with us. :) Back in those times we really REALLY needed our BoAs to be competitive. I'm still ok with it during CTA, not everyone bots their honor.

I usually wouldn't post without reading first but not this time. ;)

Containment = farming and farming = containment.

There is no situation where containment is not farming and farming is not containment.

There is also no situation where containment is alright because you didn't use the word 'farming' and farming is alright because you used the word 'containment,'

There is no legitimate reason or purpose for graveyard farming other than the total humiliation of a team who is at a disadvantage due to poor comp or lack of group coordination. Taking advantage of those situations proves just how petty and small minded a lot of 19s really are, especially when you go to such lengths to excuse your pitiful behavior by using a different label for it (containment!).

The ONLY reason to ever sit in a teams GY is when they have your flag and that's where they are holding it. If that's the situation, then by all means, have at it.
 
Containment is where you prevent them from leaving the general vicinity (ie towards your flag). It doesn't mean farming HKs. Sorry to completely ruin the flamewar. It's a very specific strategy in a game where the outcome is already set, the question is just how long it takes. If you read this post and my previous, you will understand what I and those I know from AP consider gy containment to be. If you ever see it happen you'll recognize the difference quite clearly. Carry on.
 
whats hilarious is 6 min 50 sec game started this entire argument/ opinionated thread lol i still cant believe it. i mean think of all the times people have been farmed before.. but no it was this one particular time that really cut deep in their feelings.
 
Personally, speaking from MGs tactics, if we steam roll you. We will contain YOU as we cap all 3 flags. Running back and forth for a player who is not a druid/holy paladin could take anywhere from 5-10 minutes depending on if boots are up and a number of different factors. For example last minute spawns to defend opposing team flag or random player grabbing our flag and needing our players to return it. There are a number of different scenarios i can name. Regardless a typical steam roll lasts about 5-10 minutes at most/ least. Notice i said contain YOU and not YOUR GY. We will not hump your spawn point. Like the person above me said, the entire reason for this thread is because someone from a premade ap horde team got crushed and whined about it. A 7 minute game doesn't mean you are getting farmed. it just means you were beat. Suck it up, and premade with better players, or better yet, all healers. That strat seems to be working out for the majority of your realm.
