Can you clarify what was humorous?
I agree... a lot of what I do in the game is about personal XP - but you're not going to find better personal XP than in a big pitched battle and with the alert bonus.
Having said that... yeah - given a choice between a challenging fight where you'll earn more XP... and an easier fight where you'll earn less XP... a lot of people will choose the easier fight - just cuz.
I'd assume just as many VS aren't going to stay for the duration of an alert as any other faction, so that should be a wash. It's simply undeniable the behavior of TR/NC.
I do think the discrepancy is a combination of people being timid and not understanding how the alerts work.
