Mad skillz of our opponent…

I will be glad if this matchup is over, not to insult any wvw players from drakkar but I have never seen such players in my whole time playing gw2.
You run from everything unless you outnumber 10-1 and only engage when you have way superior numbers. Really sad..

I think none of us have ever seen a matchup with ridiculous players like that but I give Drakkar the benefit of the doubt and blame the WvW season achievments.

Nice of you to paint everyone with the same brush! (or not, thanks Royce) And we know the feeling, for us it’s the same when we play against Fort Ranik, or Baruch Bay. All runners, no fighters!
I think a lot of the real wvw crowd was twinking, farming goods for ascended weaponery, farming gold in dungeons or doing other laissurely things. When in WvW we tested new builds, or did some Living Story Farming or map completion.

On the other hand, i have to admit, i’m a very bad 1vs1 player (to old and stiff) and run mostly group builds, so i also may run to the next tower, if confronted and not in the mood to test my skills.

I’m very bad overal not just 1-1. I think I am older =)
But I try anyway because I do not like to run from fights.
But like I said, and Royce too, this is not against your wvw players. I’m pretty sure they will engage when they see a fight. The annoying part is when you are fighting 2-1 or 2-2 in a few seconds a wave of players come out of their keep and stomp you. It really does not take 20 players to kill me =)

when I have been online during this matchup ( have things to do ):
enters WvW EB, looks out of the gate, sees zerg
enters FoW BL, sees commander, sees commander fail, tries to roam, gets killed by 15 players, tries another BL

and when I was trying to look at the guild tab some charr hammer warrior with an ascalonian helmet decided to attack me, got rid of over half of my health while I was distracted, I die when about 5 more players show up and he starts jumping on my corpse >:(
later I found him inside of a zerg and killed him XD

thanks to the thief on FoW bl.
after a few minutes it was clear that no one will kill the other and we could fight until reset. and thanks to the warrior that doesn’t attacked us while fighting

Thanks alot to PS (former HT) for the nice 3 15vs15 fights yesterday!

Well it seems there is no one with some skill on that drakkar server. Too bad..

You either blob, or you run/waypoint. Not you personaly but you know what I mean I think.

There seem to be many complaints regarding 1vs1 – but please answer me the following:

1. Why should I stop for a 1vs1 when I can just keep running and capture a keep for 800 WXP?

2. Why should I waste time in a 1vs1 with a Zerg/Support spec?

3. Why should I start/continue a 1vs1 if the commander explicitly asks for discipline and to just leave the roamers alone (unless they run into the zerg of course)? (To be fair – many PvE players ignore that and still go 10vs1 against roamers)

4. A bit redundant to 2. – but still too important – 1vs1 skill has little to do with WvW skill. Guild groups are not powerful because they are all 1vs1 gurus. They are powerful because they work well as a team (the individual 1vs1 skill and setup may just be terrible).

^^ Remember fun? You make it sound like to get wxp and be done with it. I’m not just talking about 1-1, but group vs group too. What fun is it to outnumber the other server by 5-1 and steamroll everything?
You do not even engage smaller groups with smaller groups, dont come here and tell me that this is because of your build or your commander. If any commander tells me to go and act like a coward he will be ignored.

Next match (3rd round), FoW will meet 2 servers similar to Drakkar:
………… Ring of Fire + Ruins of Surmia + Fissure of Woe ………

Questions in the air, to change subject of a bored week:
- Are “Ruins of Surmia” server better than “Drakkar”, to win bronze league?
- “Ring of Fire” lost in the 1st round to Drakkar + Dzagonur (rumors in the air claim German servers avoid each other on purpose), now can RoF be considered the outsider server to be the 3rd at the end of this bronze league will?
- Is Fissure of Woe aware of facing another stomped matchup, now by 2 servers starving for points, similar what Drakkar and Dzagonur done to RoF, and FoW starting to be ready to take the week off?

I think RoS has even more players than drakkar. But from RoS previous encounters they also have some very good players that are not afraid of a fight.
