I think I’m still updating this out of some sense of commitment even though I’m not involved in anything anymore. I was considering dropping this thing just this week, since it had become dreadfully boring (Boruta gets kill without contest, the same guilds get the same territories) without anything changing from week to week. But then Forbidden showed up and took a territory after being absent for a number of weeks, so I decided to write about that.
I haven’t been in Boruta for a long time now (though 6 weeks is an exaggeration, the number doesn’t really matter at this point), but it’s not like it’s difficult to go and look and see that it died in barely an hour. Really, it doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure out that nothing eventful happened. Talk with enough people and you can get a decent sense of what happened, and when you’re wrong you can always depend on Cunningham’s Law to find someone to correct you.
I might add that I find it relieving not participating in Boruta right now.
We were told by someone that my guild is trash and that we’re allowed to be there due to some twisted sense of pity and graciousness while they attacked us because we accidentally hit an alt of theirs. I had to hold my guild back. Despite the fury and indignation, we weren’t strong enough to truly fight back without being obliterated. So we grit our teeth and said nothing. We took the hits and ran away and hid. That’s how we got third for a number of weeks.
If anyone wanted to know why FullMoonCafe tried to make an alliance and change the status quo, it was because of things like that. Since failing to change anything, I feel like I’ve seen a lot of friends leave Tree of Savior since Boruta was introduced. There’s sort of nothing to do if you’re endgame and can’t participate in GvG. We definitely can blame bad game design decisions for a lot of things, but it isn’t an excuse to be so mean.
