Onliest guy playing t5 everyday in pvp is a guy called n0w. from wpk. the rest farming tier 3. (or just invisible in tier 5 the last weeks)
This is intended, as it states in our mission statement on the first page:
“The WolfPack [WPK], is a competitive PvP corporation that is focusing on T3-T4 play”
And since T4 is dead, we stay in T3.
You will not see us in T5 because the game won’t let our group in T5.
We firmly believe in working together as a one, coherent team. Solid teamwork, strict organisation and profound strategy are the foundations of our success. We have the means and the will to play in large groups, preferably 4 or more.
We are not playing T5 for a simple reason: we want to play as a group in larger games, without waiting too long for a game.
If you ever see any WPK pilots in T5 is probably if they are soloing, and n0w is actually one of the few in our corp that is often online when most of the others are at work, so he is usually soloing some T5 (I used to do the same to get some sinergy on T5s, but it is not as fun as playing with a group of friends, so there’s not much reason left to keep doing it).
Waiting times for squads in T5 are much longer and we have given up on waiting, we have our lives and I have spent too much time with waiting in hangar already, we want to keep practicing our teamwork as much as possible, while having fun. This is not optimal in T5, because waiting times are too long, and games are either too small, or have some very bad, pve players. It is not worth waiting so long, for a boring game like that.
It is faster to get a game in T3, and games are bigger. T5 has many, many pve tier rushers that know nothing about pvp, that think that all that matters is the level of your ship. We do not agree with this philosophy, and I personally think it is very closed minded. Most of us have maxed out T5 ships but we do not fly them, because games in T5 are not fun, take too long, and sometimes have more clueless players than in T3. Solid proof is the teammates we get in Sector Conquest, who are mostly not capable of flying anything else than a poorly fitted guard or an engineer that does not know how to turn on heals. T5 is just full of people like that, more than any other tier. They just play pve all day by themselves and think that this is the best that the game has to offer. That is why we stay in T3, where games are many and games are big, and it will remain so until there is a good reason for us to switch to T5. Seriously, my ships are in hangar and I have milions of credits I have nowhere to spend on. If T5 would be any fun, I would play it, but watching the clock tick and carrying clueless pvers on your team is not fun.
