The importance of defending a fort is obviously to keep the instances and also making sure that the other faction doesn't get ANY medals whatsoever. Oh yes, they can farm the Fort guards all they want but at the same time THEY can also be farmed on, haha. What's so important about the instance that you have to defend the Fortress for 2 hours? Abyss items, goblets, crowns, medals etc., these are the goodies you want to keep within your own faction to strengthen the faction as a whole. You want to keep the opposite faction from getting these, obviously.
With some top legion mentalities, they rather get rewarded medals through sieging, this is down right SELFISH AND ELITIST, only the top 5% DPS/ENMITY will get rewarded, the others, small kinah reward every cycle. Again, selfish, elitists, legions that don't care for the rest of their faction. That's fine though, no one can force them to do anything, nor tell them to do anything, it's their choice. But recognize that it should be frowned upon by those who are the true team players/legions of mmos.
Seraphim (Siel) on the other hand will start to gather some organizational effort to defend forts in the future. It's much harder to defend yes, but I'd rather expect long fights than sieges that last for 5-10mins. I helped organized defenses in the past, we've held back the asmos for at least an hour with BARELY any help of the top legions, it was a big effort mostly from lvl 30-37's, goes to show you that if there was a more united effort behind this Elyos will have not much problem defending forts in the future.
Yeah I can see that defending to keep a shitty instance is somewhat worth it.(It IS shitty, but still a decent source of AP) Not allowing the other factions to have medals either, but wouldn't that mean the same for your faction as well? Why not just let each other farm on it? Besides only the dedicated will get the medals(Or gold buyers unless gold isn't tradable?) Honestly not worth defending until they make the change on allowing defenders get medals.
I also think to prevent the fort to last a small amount of time is to make instance forts or limited entry near the area. Like how Silkroad has it sorta. At least in SRO's fort there are multiple ways to break in and many ways to run around inside without lag.(For me that is) Aion I'm lagging out the ass and not even knowing who I'm targeting with tab.
As the defending.. not many asmo gives a shit atm. It's true, because it's just pointless(Also the top levels are just so close to 50 and want to make 50 first) to go if you show up later and end up being at the end of the top list and get jack shit. Not saying everyone should get medals, but at least some little prize? I dunno put in a bronze medal and allow that to be used for costume items. Something for everyone.
Just me ranting on how the game is ran. D:
