Gaining RP

[Malison]

Just looking over some of the point totals for the past 7 days, and I'm just baffled by some of the things I see.

There are quite a few people who've made 80k RP in the past week. How?  Do they play all day long?  Is there something I'm missing?  

The highest I've ever gotten is 20k, and to me that is a lot!  I'm starting to wonder if maybe the AOE Dot is overrated.  90% of my targets live through the attacks, and I only get points for the small percentage of dmg it does.  A body cabalist can nuke for 400 dmg a hit, so I believe they may actually have the advantage in this situation!  

The flipside is that I still have my utility..I'm draining healers power, interrupting casts, and able to be very effective at nearsighting.

But still, how the hell do they get so many bloody points?

A lot of the people on our server Dual. That is how they are gaining all those RP's. I sat and watched duals last Saturday for an hour and now i know that is how most are doing it because those same names you are seeing are the 1's i saw out there. It is lame in my opinion but Mythic won't stop them so in a way they are condoning it.

You can make a lot at duels from what I understand. I've only dueled twice in my career and don't personally think it's all that good for the game. But I don't care that much if other people want to do it.

Which is funny because once 1.53 goes live I'll be tough to beat in a duel. I might have to do a few just to show them who is boss. Then I can go back to getting nuked into the ground

I remember one time in early-mid June I managed to rake in 100k RPs in a single week. I got most of those from defending keeps and defending our milefort in hadrians.

Things were much different back then though. We still had 5 relics (20% melee damage bonus), GTAE wasn't in yet, hibs had no insta-CC, and Alb in general was doing really well.

...

I think the key nowadays is to get a solid RvR group together. Trying to run around emain with a pickup group with no speed isn't gonna get you many RPs.

You might also wanna try convincing the emain zerg to take a keep. You'll be suprised how many RPs those DoTs will get you in keep defense.

I think its actually all those 8 man teams... if you look... most of those people with +50k per week usually (I use that term loosly) roll as beat squads.

Average RPS per kill in and 8v8 battle is 200 rps. So for 1 battle, each group member can get around 1,600k rps per battle.  Now multiply that times the amound of skirmishes they can go thru per hour and again by how many hours a day/week and you get alot of rps.

From what I understand, the amount of RPs you get from one kill is divided evenly amongst all the people who helped kill (did damage) plus any bonus modifiers (keep posession, etc).

The problem is that most people rely on the zerg. That means that more people are attacking (getting a cut) of your kills. Thats why you see RP kills for 50, 30, 100, 2, etc.

Highest I got in a week was 40k. No duels, just running in beatsquads.

And let me clarify. I wasn't sure if you was talking about the Server, The realm or the guild. My reply was for the realm as a whole. so i wasnt talking about Glan, Reinn, Zutroy, Noreen ect Dualing

dueling/soloing gets tons of rps...the 5 times ive solo'd lvl 50's (casters..yey!:)) they gave me from about 1,000-1,300 rps...and when ive dueled yellows and won (very rare) its usually at least 500
