CTF and Relics

  To be honest, as someone that(assuming I can be here) is going to have to lead against the A team and all their relic gathering prowess, I don't have a problem with them using relics.  One faction has dedicated themselves to complete control of a powerful set of items.  Just because no one else has stepped up and attempted to join in to any successful degree doesn't mean they should be nerfed.  If it were Targossas that controlled them, I would argue against this all day.  
  
  It's also highly unlikely that one person can maintain them for any length of time of the spam involved in a ctf. They should rotate quite frequently.

  You still have time to take the relics away. Consider it part of the prep for the CTF?

  I seriously doubt that any faction is going to be able to maintain a monopoly on them in any usable capacity during the ctf.  If someone chooses to use them, they will die sooner or later.  If they do not, it's not an issue.  I might go ahead and try to pull a few of them together tonight for Targossas, but even then it's just going to be a starting buff.  Once the initial deathsights start rolling in, it's not going to matter. It also makes target priority that much more important.

  I agree, you're either going to prio defending those with the relics, or getting ahead.
  
  When is this anyway?!

  I think attributing skill to relic control is a bit silly. One faction has the most fully artefacted experienced fighters, that group using an incomparable advantage to amass other incomparable advantages is just positive feedback. Letting that further power creep into world games is just going to make the game less interesting overall. That being said:

  9/22/22:06 (To Tecton): Is there any plan to disable minerals/relics for CTF? I really hope there is, because having to stockpile even more things, and get control of things like relics which honestly completely break any sort of combat balance for a competition would be really shitty imo.
