It just doesn't carry as much weight as a cabal hero complaining about it (and roleyplaying his heart out to change it within the game).
Ok, you have heard a cabal hero complain about it. Me. The fact that I do not have one currently does not change the fact that it made me absolutely sick when I did have one. I guess I could have tried to change it in game...but there were perhaps two other mortals who would have listened to me at the time, and I had been getting more and more sick of it during four rager chars just about in a row.
Now, I do not mind being ganged. Hell, I know it is a viable tactic. Grallon does not hardly ever gang, but that is more from a lack of possible groupmates than a desire to fight one on 5-7. I would not even mind being ganged by battle, under certain conditions, me raiding their cabal, me attacking one of them during their raid of the tower...stuff like that.
What gets me is that the whole Idea of Battle is the "brave warrior" thing. And I am to the point of sad resignation that very very very few ragers will refuse the gang/tag team because it would diminish their bravery.
I never asked for it to be easy to kill ragers. I never complained about deathblow, although whupping on a rager and getting two unspeak deathblows and dieing nomatter what clothes/protections/preparations I make(more often than not)kindof stinks.
Now dhaevor is another story, Ive never seen him do the tactics I am against, and I have seen him many times take out 5-6 people solo...its just that he is the single good example that I can see in the masses of tag-teamers.
