Q:
A:
DH why! We are 6k behind SF and you guys go and hit our borderlands making us split our already weak forces
Last time we help you get into first place
Our huge push nearly got us there! Upgrading garrison ended up being a waste as our guys had to go before you guys came to attack
OMG! We should have moved down instead of DR.
But hey, we are IoJ! We fight to the last drop of our blood!
Goodluck to us all.
OMG! We should have moved down instead of DR.
And now you realize DR’s cunning strategy, but too late!
Guess Darkhaven will finally no longer be called Zerghaven this week.
Welcome to T6 T5 is —>
What’s this?
Thread isn’t full of dumb eggs thinking they’re le mastur trollz?
Good to see you too, T6.
Hi, I’m following you around because I love you.
Stop it dank
we no love you no more
Did SF get alot of transfers? If not please explain what the kitten you were doing in t7 with these kinds of numbers. (notice the 2 orange swords on IoJ borderland; those weren’t ours)
No we didn’t get transfers. As far as what we were doing in T7… the phrase curb-stomping comes to mind.
In truth, we were held in T8 for far to long and once we were finally set free we kind of let loose the fury. Now the higher tiers will have to deal with us as we rise through the ranks.
This is great fun!
BTW: To the IoJ Ranger who destroyed me in between Langor and Quentin… Nice job! You rock! Wish I knew what you’re running for a build because I didn’t have a chance.
Best of luck everyone! =D

They way the rating system works causes a trap in tier 8 where no one can get out. We were stuck in tier 8 for 4 or 5 months. Anet put an additional temporary reward for tier 8 a few weeks ago and we broke free into tier 7. We spent 3 weeks in tier 7 and now we’re in tier 6. No transfers, just an artificially low rating and a lot of nocturnal players.
4-5 months? We weren’t in T8 for nearly that long. We arrived in T8 on January 4th and escaped on April 5th. So we were in T8 for 13 weeks straight (3 months), winning 12 of those weeks straight and dominating for 10 weeks straight.
Adding onto EnemyCrusher’s explanation above, we were unable to escape T8 because FC’s and ET’s ratings were so abnormally low that the rating math for that particular tier did not work as intended anymore (creating the ratings pit “affectionately” known as the Glicko Ghetto). On April 5th, ANet did a one-time boost ET and FC’s rating by 300 each (SF’s rating was never touched) to help normalize their ratings so the Glicko math for T8 would work as intended again. And when FC’s and ET’s ratings were finally normalized, Glicko acted accordingly and we finally broke out of T8. And as Enemy mentioned, it took us 3 weeks to go from T7 to T6.
Enemy is right that we are not the beneficiaries of transfers. The last wave of transfers our server saw was just before the free server transfers were locked down, but it wasn’t a lot and not NEARLY enough to get us out of the T8 Glicko Ghetto like Kain and DR. We’ve been experiencing a WvW renaissance since we broke out of T8 into T7 and are seeing a LOT of old faces we haven’t seen in a long time. Now that we are no longer spinning our wheels, WvW on our server has been revitalized and folks are excited to be WvWing again.
