But you gotta be the only fort left in the game that's spent that much on a fort

Someone with superior RP vision than me please justify this.

I got 2x more an hour after he logged solo so it was pretty amazing day considering I got 1x drop within the last month of daily zone PvP and 8v8 practice throughout the week.

You can't flip around the evasion issue, that's the thing. Prior to I13 you could have a team of two experienced PvPers wreaking havoc on entire enemy teams simply because they were more skilled and more coordinated. Now, unless you're a melee character you don't stand much of a chance if you're outnumbered and phase/Hibernate isn't up, which completely removes skill from the equation (evasion, prioritizing targets, inspiration management, situational awareness, etc.).

The issue is that under the new ruleset, those 3-5 people don't have to work for their kill because after a certain point the mechanics give them that kill (don't need to have coordinated spikes because heal decay means you can just keep clicking buttons until your target dies). I know I'm a better player than most of the random melees I see in zones, but it's incredibly frustrating to die to them when there's absolutely nothing I can do. It's one of the reasons I can barely stand zone PvP anymore - prior to I13 there were lots of valid tactics and at the same time there were ways to counter those tactics, and now the tactics are different and there are no ways to counter them.

(I assume this is probably why, in a certain other game, both battleground and arena rewards are not directly keyed to kill rates, although speed can have a minor effect. But in a battleground, beating objectives is a huge part of the reward generation, and in arenas, rewards are purely a function of playing 10 games and then your rating.)
