I can not speak for any big portion of Clan Wolf, but I am sure nobody intents to question the talent and numbers of the Ghost Bear Loyalist Units.
But it is obvious that Clan Ghost Bear gets a big push by several merc units. They mean additional numbers and talent and therefore give Clan Ghostbear an advantage which we of Clan Wolf do not have.
Then there is New Years Hangover. Wolfs could be attacked twice, Falcons and Bears once per day and Jaguars had not to face the kind of opposition we all had. I do not want to whine or complain about that. Simple matter of fact is, we were hit harder and other clans got reinforcements while we had to sort things out first.
Before and after New Years Hangover mercenaries of Clan Ghost Bear attacked Clan Wolfs backyard. Again, I do not want to complain and I know Clan Ghost Bear Loyalist Units have no control over the actions of their mercs.
But the point is, there are a lot of Clan Ghost Bear Loyalist players, who mock the Wolfs as being weak and not being able to push onward or even keep our planets. And that is what many percieve as hiding behind mercs. Ghost Bear pilots literally stand on the sideline, twiddle their thumbs and gloat while they can always say "Nooo, it's not Clan Ghost Bear attacking you. That are just mercs."
Yup. I totally agree with you. Back when the mercs left our faction briefly we got ripped a new one. None of my comrades want to admit it, but right now the success of Ghost Bear basically hangs off of the whims of a few large merc units. You can say the same for all of community warfare for that matter. Personally, I wish there was a limit on how large a unit could get. It starts to be less about 'community' warfare and more about <insert name of largest unit> warfare.
If it means anything to you guys, I never gloat about the Ghost Bear mercs thing. I've grown weary of it, and plan to jump to another faction soon.
