Talk:Blue Sentinels/@comment-4134582-20140414124918

I don't even think the problem is lack of people in the Way of the Blue, it's just how rare red invasions are - and that even when they happen, a Blue Sentinel isn't guaranteed to be summoned. In around 100 hours of playtime, I've been invaded twice. One of those times was early in the game when I was in WotB and had my ring equipped, yet no Sentinel was summoned. I've spent a lot of my playtime being summoned by other players and not one of them have been invaded while I was there.

I'm sure some people get invaded more than others, but the chance of invasion while ALSO being in WotB while the Sentinel summon ALSO decides to work is very low. Maybe if they can sort out how invasions work, like a far broader SM requirement in NG, it wouldn't be such a problem. I think one reason why people may not bother with WotB, assuming that's also part of the problem, is that it doesn't actually seem to do anything in practice given how rare invasions are and that it seems to not summon even when they occur. It's much easier and reliable to just summon another player normally if you're invaded, after all.
