RvR doesn't mean ganking as some might suggest in this thread.
RvR means working together as a realm to defeat the other realm even if you happen to be solo in doing so.
With all the class changes, tanks can climb walls and so can many other classes, and visibles can SL and find stealthers thereby taking away their number one defense - stealth.
Assassins are made for solo play. They are supposed to sneak up on a target, do very quick damage from stealth, and then make a getaway.
Then Mythic changed the rules by adding many anti-stealth abilities for visibles, added group healing, DI and many other abilities that negate an assassin's ability to actually make a kill.
Vanish doesn't worj because it wasn't logically designed to check and remove effects just before the timer wears off. It is a complete failure.
Mythic does not add any purpose for the assassin class. They made it so you really have no chance to make a kill unless you zerg surf, hang out on bridges all day away from players with grouped healing, or try to make RPs defending against someone on a keep wall getting 500 group heals a second from off in the distance.
Another silly example of poor logical design is attacking players on the wall getting heals from outside have an advantage over defending players on the wall itself because the players on the wall can be targetted by the enemy and the healers cannot.

I actually agree with this last post shadora. However infiltrators hav been given a I win button recently with overwhelm. I hit sl just yesterday on my bm and found a solo infi of equal rr all he or she had to do was hit oberwhelm and destroy me what's worse is when I hit my rr5 blade barrier that would normally make me parry like a mad man. Overwhelm actually stopped it from working I have a ss of the error message I got. So I have a hard time believing a rr11 inf can't solo

Until the shield nerf, I couldn't attack tanks at all.
After the nerf, it helps slightly, but hasn't been an I WIN button for me.
Soloing in this game has become almost impossible.
The level of RR really doesn't matter as you are facing 2 to 20 man stealth zergs.
You run across a solo about once a week if you are lucky.

I've lost the desire to play anyway. As the game has become more and more of a skill-less gank and meaningless quest for useless RPs by outnumbering opponents and/or cheating with automated macros, etc, I have become less interested in it.
UO was a great game where skill meant something and DAOC used to have a hint of it between class imbalances, cheats and macro mashing, but now it's almost totally devoid of any skill whatsoever.
With all the CC and ganking the game is really unplayable for a solo. It isn't even fun, it's just an unplayable mess.

1. How would they fix the game so soloers can play without being added on?
They would make it worth less for large groups to kill solos and smaller groups than they are currently in. Example: Instead of a 3 man getting 650 RPs each for killing a solo who would have been worth 1300 RPs, they should each get (1300 / 3)* (1/3) for 144 RPs each. (1300 / 3) would be the amount of RPs for a solo kill and (1/3) would be the (# of people in the group who you just killed/# of players in your group). This would discourage ganking and encourage people to play in smaller groups and fight similar numbers. You could also gain more with this method if you were in a smaller group and killed people in larger groups.
Trolling harder than usual i see
2. Stop hanging around your fellow alb friends at the alb bridges.
I don't hang around bridges. I try to be around seiges, but I can't make a kill because of the grouped healing and amount of add ons.
Get a group then. Around sieges most ppl aint to picky what classes they get as long as it is not a tank class with no way to get to the enemies.
3. Get a higher level of vanish and it will work like a charm, level 1 gives 0.5s immunity and no speed. Higher levels give longer duration AND higher speed.
Vanish only checks effects on use and once the vanish timer wears off, the DoT or effect that landed after you hit the button, but while you were vanished (due to lag or spell delay), will knock you out of stealth again. It does not check effects on vanish timer end too. It is a failure.
As i said, higher levels will increse the duration so a bolt/arrow/spell that is inc will not break you. For DoT's use purge before you vanish.
4. Learn how to pan.
5. Mashable purge would make CC useless and make the game HUGELY unbalanced.
6. Mashable purge would make your envenomline useless.
So, it isn't useless if you purge and then the assassin reapplies? Or when you purge and someone else in the zerg hits you with something else and you can't do anything? What sense does that make?
Who in their right mind would use purge on an assasin poisions as it is now unless they have the assasin CC'ed and they need to get away or something? if you get mashable purge there would be no need for any CC, any DoT's or any negative effects at all.
7. Mashable purge would make casters immune to NS.
8. Learn how to play.

I haven't been in a stealth zerg in years. I have grouped maybe 3 times in the past year and prefer to solo.
Although the game makes it almost impossible to solo, that is what I choose to do for the time being.
And no, I will not GTFO until I think it's time to close it down.
What I want is for Mythic to change the rules a bit so that failure is not rewarded as it is now by ganking others with massive numbers and still getting huge RPs for it when you should be getting a fraction of RPs as I listed above in a nice, neat formula.
If you want to gank, your RPs should suffer also. You should not be rewarded for ganking solos and duos as you are now. That has nothing to do with RvR. RvR is supposed to involve large groups of people fighting each other, not FGs SLing the area to kill solo and duo stealthers because Mythic Math gives them good RPs for this behavior.

Bottom line,there are many many many play styles,soooo if we don't grp up and defend a realm,were playin wrong?? If I pay to play,I can play any way I want,with in the rules!! I know people that craft and savage for money ONLY,enjoy it and have many friends,is this wrong too??
They made it crappy to solo and we lost ALOT of subs over it,fact...
Me personally,to much cc and the long boat ride annoy's me enough to not solo and I use to love soloing.
