You all are talking from the attackers side...so of course you dont like speech texts.... but its a two way game....closing gates and speech texting is also used so you can choose the time for the fight as a defender...just because I got all my buddies together at a specific time and we all ported in together...doesnt mean the defender should drop everything because it was a good time for us. So its a two way street and unless you are using a bot ...you still are an active defender and when the defender wants to fight gates open..... depends on your perspective....i dont like honor just bc ppl dont know how to attack should i be penalized that much in my heals....but thats another topic. just saying there are more than one side to that argument.
