my server is like this S91/95/97. Majority of the players in our server are in the strongest group. I think 4 of us in the top 10 are in groups we've stuck by before our servers merged. Keep in mind we're all over 100k in top 10 so 6 people in the same group with that kind of power dominates with ease. I honestly enjoyed GNW a little more before merges because we had our own server rivalry in S97. I don't mind it now though because we still compete fairly well for the *tered BP differences we have. I think if you have fun and enjoy the people in your group that's all that matters. So many people are quick to stack groups but also fail to realize the more people you have the harder the pack rotation. Its really preference. If you qualify on your local server then * it out. If you want to have a chance to compete in X-GNW then you should * with the strongest group in your server. Just have fun honestly.
