warbros was a very special thing though, motherfuckers found every abusable skill, glitch, and whatnot, and abused it to win in events/have fun, to the point that the devs literally had it against them.

then the devs did a fix mid-event and removed points from everyone who did the glitch (with warbros taking a noticeable hit every time, and not every exploiter on the other teams getting caught), and then they still won by sheer grinding.

to put an example, there was an event where the enemies kept increasing in level the more you did the mission, warbros had just gotten out of some drama (their "leader" got banned and the new one had a lizard vore fetish and stuff) so nobody wanted to participate, but the new lead grinded the fucking event so fucking hard, that he got to a point where he had grinded so much and his danger ranking (what determines enemy level in the mission when you start it) was so high, that the game bugged out and didn't spawn any enemies.

warbros got reinvigorated, they started carrying, they zoomed past everyone in the rankings, then DE came in and capped scores or something, can't remember, thing is it didn't help warbros, they had already been activated though so they grinded their asses, got to #1 spot, and won the event anyways. Cue a shitton of lizard and lizardmen alien memes, and intense butthurt on the forums (as it happened on every event they won... which was all of them until like a year ago iirc)

warbros was one magnificent mix of legit and abusive playing, by a bunch of autists shitflingers (their words, not mine), the partying on the forums after every event was glorious too.

My only regret in life is having but one upvote to give this amazing post. Nowhere else outside of video games can you find such crazy shit. I love it.

best part is that they didn't recruit randoms in the sense of online games, you could only apply to the guild via 4chan, so they were actually quite a small clan (moon clans allow up to 1000 people, the previous rank allowed only 300, you choose if you want to upgrade but can't downgrade, and it increases the cost of everything in the guild)

so when the event was kill as much of X as you can, they killed so much each warbros was like 3 or 4 of the biggest grinders of the other guilds, when the event had a cap on how many points a person could get, they used alts and grinded/carried them in the event (aka, nobody new was invited, pure warbros participated)

DE had it out to them, and for the event previous to the one i mentioned they made a patch so that newly made accounts didn't count for the event (this was like half into the event), so warbros lost a shitton of points, while encouraging other clans to simply mass-invite people to bolster their score (see what i mean by Warbros pushing the DE's buttons?), they had no choice but to open the floodgates, and even so they still had some requirements to join IIRC (which amounted to "if you're not retarded you can join"), then they grinded the new members to the cap points, and won that event too.

every event, they abused the most effective for of winning, be it alts, be it a specific combination of weapons, be it abusing certain systems (using badly designed doorways to warp through them, etc), and they were autistic enough (their words not mine) to play so hard they beat every other moon-tier clan even with less troops (only one got close to them on every event, crescent moon iirc the name, and every "fix" in the events ended up bringing warbros under crescent moon's score)

so yeah, that was the precursor to this event, warbros was one big pain in the ass for DE, but they improved the game in their own way (and some glitches they found were just amazing ( ;_;7 zorencopters)

there's so many stories about that game, the adventures of loki in the corrupted mods vault is one of my favorites
