For me, the problem with making demands following a relic gank is that those demands validate the idea that taking someone's relic while they are offline (which is always the way it happens) is any indication of superiority. I would rather boycott the relic ganking system entirely (or if someone wants to gank the relic for fun, we gank it and then parade around wearing it until it crumbles) than validate the system by using it for an RP tool.

It comes down to wanting everyone to have fun playing this game, and taking a relic when you have a spike of superior numbers (which often tends to be also when the other cabal is low on members generally) only serves to kick an organization while they are down. Not only are they now outnumbered, but they also don't have access to their cool abilities. Woot! Now if taking a relic resulted in gains for the victor rather than losses for the defeated, I think I would feel differently, but it doesn't.

I find enjoyment in this game through player-to-player interaction, so I'd rather see conflicts decided this way, not by killing NPCs.

Relic ganking is dumb because no one does it unless all the opposing side is offline.

Also, it's incredibly easy with 3-4 people that know what they're doing.

The Hammer of Light could do just fine attacking the crucie HQ. MC would be pretty difficult though.

Possibly because it's impossible to do when there's 1 PC of just about any class who has a brain online unless you have a group of like 9.

1 PC can really umm... you over while you're having a 90 round goshdarn fight with the outer guardian.

Not to mention a lot of the cabal abilities make it impossible to raid their HQ while they're online. Harhar. Yeah. Go try to kill the Crucie outer guardian while 1 Crucie member is in the HQ. Have fun getting your group of 9 jlooted by 1 pc.

Or your tank xxxed by an HoL member.

Or having <MC SPELL> cast on you while trying to heal your group.
