Still, the damage is already done. I'm voting for swp gear removal btw. To write my thinking about the gameplay in all bgs here I still think it would still be similar even if you remove swp gear now just because of all the zerging that exist. It would be better but it would be the same in a zergy way. The best lockdown would be that a group starts to play just like you play an rated bg on retail. But who is up for that task now when the server isn't what it use to be, who would bother to do that now, not me anyway, sadly. Hypocrite much? maybe. I don't think that any active player would start with it now when you can have the advantage of using swp in bgs. Remove it and let us all bleed and we'll see if the community adapts just as it was shaped by haste and low resilience.
There's no more trusted observer than someone who suspects you.

The item restriction will solve the problem of SWP gear in bgs, about zerging, can you give a solution for an example. It will be fun if somehow orbs are attached to players in grps 5+ ( ab, eots ) similar to the ones that Eagle Avatar in ZA, its a bad idea tho.
my favorite thing about smolder compared to other servers:
you get high end gear right away and don't need to farm/level for shit so you can compete with others or do any dungeon/raid (if u find brained people) right from the beginning which enables you to experience tbc at its best.
as well as transmogs, that really was the only thing missing for tbc to be perfect.
my favorite thing over all:
that gotta be my stronk, moo-y cow and the community. despite people thinking having a bunch of retards in a community is a bad thing, it's the opposite to me. it would be boring without all the retards and noobs on smolderforge. I always enjoyed to act childish/retarded and of course troll people but there are also clever players and you can have an intellectual conversation here.
Most definitely for me it is the fact how smolderforge is not money driven one bit. Sure there is the donation option and there is rewards for it, but there isn't anything totally exclusive about it, the way it is on the other servers where 150coins = legendary wep and there is no other way to get it.
Hen is a great leader for smolder and you can simply see it right off the bat by the way the community never accuses smolderforge to be all about money.
This is the reason why I came back to play here, maybe not as often, but often enough to know that every time I log on I will have a good time
Its my favourite private server so far since 2years. 99% of the people I run into are very nice. There is some trade spam, but you can easily ignore it.
