    Its like a Purplegate reunion in this thread. Anyway, I understand why Pezstar did what she did. I also understand why many Legion members like myself disagreed with her actions at the time. Conflicting interests; some people wanted Legion to disband quietly with its old reputation intact while others were willing to do what was necessary to keep it alive, albeit in a much changed form. That was nearly 3 years ago, so I don't care too much about the whole disbandment shenanigans anymore.

    On this topic, I think it was a good idea in principle, but it could have been executed a little more professionally.

    Of course, no one seems to remember that NPO said they were going to stomp Legion members even if we disbanded (as Pez would know being MOFA and all) and so when she ran to hide behind some tigers, that left the ordinary members facing a stamp down for Swampy's actions. Where was the justice in that? How was that doing us a favour?

    You may not be the same alliance that you were in GW3, but [i]you[/i] (your alliance, that is, I don't know about you personally) keep on bringing up incidents like Pezstar's disbandment of Legion and claiming it is the reason why no one respects you anymore.

    Part of the reason. I'll say it again, it's only the fourth time. Part of the reason. And only in reference to her critting the Legion. Other people can think what they will, or what they're told to or what they think will put them in with the cool crowd.

    EDIT: I was wrong, my history was incorrect. If you would like to see where it was wrong, check pez's post below. I'm leaving the tl;dr because I still feel it's valid. Nevertheless, I'm just gonna drop this train of thought entirely.

    [b]tl;dr: Pez's past actions have had a lasting effect on the Legion's reputation. However, her past actions are not by any means the only thing affecting the Legion's rep, and none of our internal issues are her fault.[/b]

    This last part is what I said about 3 pages ago, before Pez did her usual tactic of SHOUTING A LOT, which is one way to move the debate on I suppose.

    The Failed disbandment did damage the reputation. If you were to ask most enemies of the Legion why they have the reputation they would probably make the following shortlist:

    Betrayal of the NPO in early GW's.
    Bloated uselessness in GW111
    Losing the propaganda war to NPO
    Being a Chew toy for NPO's then running dogs, Valhalla, etc.
    Swampy's Actions
    Failed Disbandment Attempt
    Viceroyship
    'Stockholm syndrome'
    Various modern PR failures.

    And who cares if it made a big difference in the world? You punch me in the face and I'm not supposed to think it's important because the Chinese don't care?
