hey, i did a 6v5 earlier & was able to achieve 8 medals. i captured 2 turrets, lost 2 turret and defended 2. i scrapped over the middle turret for a short bit - overall i think 8 was reasonable accomplishment for the effort. as mentioned by another user, obtaining kills while capturing is a neat idea, i wouldn't lump it with attacking/defending unless the turret was obtained. BUT, i would give some medal for kills or damage or healing in a "general" category for overall effort. is there only attack & defending medals?
used a level 80 combat sentinel w/ 336 item rating focused on critical.
as for "pre-made" vs mixed solo, it really does drive people from PVP - not to discourage friends from playing together, but there needs to be a way to keep the gaming sweatshop armies from bulldozing through casual players. i routinely play with my wife, grouped, with cute/matching names but we are casual & not a threat to solo players. how do we get to play together without facing the top 8 ranked pvp teams?
