Funny how your example plays in freedumbs favor!
Bottom line, friends on victory are not Rude!- or have U been there?(sorry Now that Was rude!) and not meaning to be rude!just stating few facts as i see them, and is my point of view, please do not be offended!

( 20% are farmers) is more like 40% are farmers,
(10% are jerk-wad retards) it only takes 1 and my gaming experience is damaged,1 jerk-wad can Destroy my hole day and The Game!
Only takes 1 jerk-wad retard to post in Brod-cast and hole zone trashed! So 100 rude persons on 1 server
( freedumb worse then i thought) ever zone would be trashed! No thanks. 100 of these jerk-wad retard come to Victory any 1 day and i will be done with this Game.
Sorry Victory is not like that and has never been like that, it may be to quite some times, given the problem u may be having on Freebumb, Victory is Quit & works just fine 4 many of us! we are Mostly all Respectable Adults and conduct our self's like Adults.

your stats, are based on what? u made them up! let me say it only takes 1 any lvl to completely trash environment in game.
ever time i visited free dumb within 5- 10 min there is crying, fighting, havoc in broadcast! Never fails!
I been on victory and many other server 4+ years now
and my experience while visiting many other servers was that many older folks\Adults play on Victory while there own younger kids play on other server's! that the way it is.(my Global Friends list reflex's this)(and it is full and vary active)and as i use voip talking with many adults, it is a fact! ,that my kids play with there kids on other servers!(i watch and i see what going on)
So if You are a kid please stay on freedumb, if your Adult or at least want try act like One= we welcome you on Victory!
This work just fine for many of us! and cuts back on unwanted chatter, and Deaths , and lvl 50 toons that don't even no what there builds power's are or what they chosen, because they have not experience them in battle or no what to expected of them when teams are formed when considering other builds(henc=Corruptors Therms=heals & buff ,Kins=Boost, Rads= De-buff Ect...., Simple fact is that if Pled(power leveled) Build more then likely they have no or little true in-game hands on experience with that build, many Younger kids don't understand what there doing or how the Enhancement math works!, what i have seen on some servers many kids will stand and chat for many different reasons , biggest Problem they get dced if servers over whelmed with players and there internet connection or video card can't process the large amount of data ,often even standing in crowd (like at Black market)some powers cause tons lag , as far entering missions that can be even a Bigger Joke on Heavy populated server's that has tons of Brod-cast crying( from deaths, Bing kicked, and dcing issues, not mention ,wrong enhancements and lack of inspirations and Accolades! and lag type issues!
Basically increasingly populated, servers does not mean better game experience, many factor to consider when choosing servers, I simply said or Humbly request that victory be thought of as Adult Server!
for more Higher Lvl of Experience Type Adult minded Game Play, and would ask we all try Respect this Request!

just a thought = i don't no 100% on any server! but have visit them in past 4 years!
my experience on Free dumb it has lot younger players, a lot drama, and a lot pled toons, at 50 they mostly think there done. u can hear in global chat about getting kicked from teams for no reason , kinda a mess, yea there few good player's there, and exp, but
they ere 1 that Kill u in PVP Zones! and if they don't the lag probably will, more busy the server more lag seems to bring! unorganized it is and honestly, where u should go if u want quick pick up teams and a lot death! yea i know it sounds like Dumb! that's because it is!

my kids play on few other server Infinity ,Justice,and spend a lot time standing around talking! sure there some good players on all servers, many of us spread are self's out!

Victory High END PRO , Top Dog Server!
LOW KEY and we only want your best!
u just got learn where 2 be and who u need 2 no!
seems be adult populated and friendly server, and players there appreciate toons that are not pled and actually no the game offers more then just power leveling to 50!such as Master TF Badges and Accolades,earning respect in VG,SG or with in the Coalition
or having fun in arena events,build sharing of wealth and base building.Hami raid or Ship raid, and
cross chat channels, speed tf,vary talented players!not mention SEXY!
Many skilled player will be found on victory, ( and are on test)
it is slow server low populated especially villain side , but many of players there are good maybe even the best!, nice and help full players, and many are lvl 50 and have been playing since day 1.before villain were even born
They use live V.O.I.P such as Vent and skype and TS,
they hold record times and titles(over there heads) to prove they have earned the right to be called the best in a certain category or event ,so unless u carry a title over your head, u simply can't brag unless u have a Title , then u have Earned bragging rights! these true mission runners and not likely power leveled toons ! vary likely probably holding many Purple Enhancement sets and many 52+Hami(shoe's) yes these Villians they are found on Victory Server!
win u get good lvl 50 villain and rdy 4 true game play the way it was meant to be played that when it time to transfer to Victory


I suggest u spread your self around, it really just depends on what u want do, play the game or role model, or just chat, or grow a 50 the hard way or be Power Leveled!at any rate some can and do play pled toons vary well, but the ones who run there toons not pled, most defensibility no what they can and can not do.new builds may want start on free-dumb!, i suggest u try Adjust video card settings !,more busy the server more likely u will have some lag issues!
Advantages to slower server= lower population =
less lag issues! *Better game play experience*, !
which explains why so may higher populated server has so many low lvl players standing around chanting(begging to be pled), it is all they do keep from bing dced(loosen connection)! i know this it happen on my lap top all the time!combination of video card setting and connections to server!

I have 21 Purp slotted in all and 17 lvl 52+ hami's

Quote:
A pure Granite build is useless if it exemplars below 35 (27 for tanks)

===kinda True ! useless is Harsh! unlike a tank with higher ability take more base damage, taking damage is not all i am about, i can and will bring it! idea is i kill targets and target dies- dead before me!
at lvl 35 I do have Stone Skin,Rock Armor,Tough and Weave, Stealth in 1 run powers, and red wisp along with good regeneration rate.EB, Build up, and 3 primary attacks ,1 vet ranges attack, brawl,and boxing(stun) hauling tray full inspirations. beside i pick and plan my targets and no how pull when needed!if needed!not mention was born in battle at young age, Demonic, Forces of nature, and ability get 5 shivs in 5-10 min! if needed., i always have at least 1.and consider my self professional temp power maker in base always keep required salvage in safe in base if not on me or quick purchase at Black Market .
Running at lvl(35) doesn't happen vary often on my lvl 50, and trade off is Bing total awesome on higher lvl(45_50) Task Force which does happen almost ever day!, i run vary often!
Now first let me say its Team effort and want Credit the teams many well builds\ Toons of all kinds including other stones! there are Many vary well build Stones Brutes on victory!
With that Bing said sometimes i can play great and other times i can be totally off the chart AWESOME typically a kin or two is involved!

as i said at lvl 50 far as minerals and crystal armor i would drop! when it comes to running lower lvl teams (35 and lower) I have many lower lvl builds 4 that!, honestly i seldom have major issue there!

Its big game changer at lvl 50 u need be all u can be!
earning Master Badges requires No Deaths,No Temp powers. I have My Master Badges and have help many get there's!
LRSF, ITF, LGTF,BTF,3rd Re-spec, Rik-ti zone Ship raids and ,lvl 54 groups in zones in 99% all fights crystal armor and minerals i do not use, and are not needed! i don't die vary often, and chances are if i do, its lag, or i got careless hit wrong key(which has happened)and trust me= many times i take as much aggro as any stone brute takes the aggro,hence we rush--Fist person in to group of hero's typically the stone brute so I Teleport up on stage all hero's attack me!i get agro other then join in on fight, i taunt each hero hold aggro hopefully until all 7 hero are DEAD!, i done this(last mish LRSF) more then 250 times!in past 3+ years!
I many times have been the only Brute on team! o did i mention not only do i Consistently take a Great Amount of Damage(watching that fury bar) --I bring a great Amount of Damage! and a lot of it!extra slots i don't waste on useless armor's ,this allows me slots in places that Bring and Resist more, much more Valued Damage!
theses armors(crystal armor and minerals) can not be used together with Granite!(most u can hope for is bonus from enhancement set) (as well as places stick 7.5 log.) and may be worth 1 your attack powers,it seems to me as i always have a attack power available to toggle, so attack speed really isn't a issue and that's with out a kin,my Earth Embrace(heal) & Build up(buff up) is almost always up , and i use both often that's how i keep my Hit Points +(Regeneration) or Damage rate maxed out.
Currently in game I (1 Hand Bandid )have Supersonic title! on victory server
(30 day title) Player De-buffed: Complete the LGTF with PLAYERS UNDER CONSTANT DEBUFF selected. The team with this selected and the least amount of deaths will earn the title: Supersonic. *Note: In the event of a tie the winner will be determined by the fastest time.

Like i said give me good kin and I will Rock on Task Force team!, as far as my build ! Not been issue-even at lvl 35, do i need a kin ? No !given a choice Speed boost on me when i am Granite and Rooted, no right build compares to that!Rooted (anti-mez power)makes me immune to ever mez power,
Speed boost me and I will bring some serious damage to a group of Hero's with 2 PBAOE attacks dressed with partial balanced optimized Purps set and lvl 52+ Synthetic Hamidon combination, o did i mention 1 of my my patron power Darkest Night(aoe\hit debuf) six slotted. on board is(3) 7.5 LOG,did i mention when u get in my mud pots u be slowed, like stuck in mud!attacks will also be slowed.last i want note is #1 bonus power i try to achieve is Regen\Recovery always focused on Hit Points, and damages received allowing me focus on where who is doing most damages so i can take that target out!while forcing my HP(damage output)to max same time! and if my fury bar Hit 100%(hard to do on my Fire\Brute, which can be good means i am avoiding the serious damage while taking blows holding aggro!, its fine line ,fury bar grows as i attack and is under Bing attacked) add some SpeedBoost and Fulcrum Shift= Game on!
Do i like have kin Around ? YOU BET! LETS PARTY!

Sweet

Honestly at lvl 50 Hasten 3 slot it ! i use often,close to per-ma u can get and better chances of fury bar get over 99%, as far as minerals and crystal armor i would drop!, i don't like and never use, and at lvl 50 seems not needed in many of current TF, and taunt is good have, but typically 2 slotted work just as well as 4!
I have run over over 200+ LRSF,, now i am Fire \Brute, and realize many of my attacks have a base taunt in them(i Don't slot taunt enhancements into none of them), base taunt works fine!.
Fact is my mod pots grab aggro and slows 4 and i taunt grabs 4, that's pretty much average group size,many times i can handle couple more! or cap.
Not perfect,but Death is not in my Build!, give me a Good KIN with SB,FS= I Rock on the victory server 4 years now!(REz)
and many my TF teams seem to to just fine.
keep in mind i also have Purple Enhancement sets and 17= 52+ Synthetic Hamidon's combined.not info u requested or what u were asking 4 ,but hope this helps, and look forward to running with u again soon!
