Dear Mezmereyes (Sorrow’s Furnace, Guild GBD or very similar):
Yesterday in the EB JP, you met up with our party and joined us, promising our leader non-aggression in return for showing you how to get through part of the puzzle. She was out ahead of the rest of us at the time, and after she got you where you wanted to be, you promptly pushed her off the perch.
You then spent the next 45 minutes camped out in a safe place on high, using Focus #4 to knock off anyone who got within range of you.
We finally got enough ET people to flood the area such that you couldn’t get us all off, we got through and promptly killed you.
Note that no one died from those falls, so you weren’t getting any loot bags. The only possible benefit to you would have been some perverse pleasure at kitten ing people off for 45 minutes. This makes you a vile human being in my eyes, the lowest of the low, despicable beyond belief. Behind every toon you continued to grief for no reason whatsoever is a real person at a real computer wasting 45 minutes of his real life because you somehow get your jollies off other people’s misery.
You, sir, owe every person you griefed 45 minutes of their lives back.
I do not hold this against SF. In fact, we ended up running with a group from LORD who were perfectly nice and respectful. I’m not even holding it against your entire guild. However, know that any mesmer I see from GBD (or similar) will become target #1 immediately for me and everyone you griefed.
Griefing for loot bags is one thing. Griefing from a safe spot for no tangible reason is a different thing entirely. And partying with someone to get their help getting to the safe spot, and then turning around and griefing them is beyond the pale. I have never seen such despicable behavior before in GW2, and I hope never to see it again.
This is the funniest thing I’ve read all day. I know what I’ll be doing tonight! Look for the thief throwing dancing daggers at people in mid air

This is the reason wvw is plummeting south. People want decency out of enemies more than skillful fights. A shame. Lot of potential in the game as well.

Which part of that mesmer’s actions were “skillful”?
IF WvW were “plummeting south” as you say, I’d wager it’s because of behavior like this mesmer’s.
A shame.

I understand what you’re saying but think about it from my standpoint.
When I go into the EB jumping puzzle I look forward to people camping it. Part of the fun in running through it for me is the fact that two other servers could be there and there might be people to fight. I like the fact that we are fighting over essentially the control of the puzzle. The fact that there are so many obstacles and elevated areas makes the PvP combat a lot of fun. You can do much more tactical movements when there are more things to move around on. If I find a large group or I am getting killed repetitively I leave, because I can come back later and do it.
I think what it comes down to is, if you don’t like PVP then do not use the PVP jumping puzzles. There are plenty of PvE jumping puzzles out there. And don’t tell me it’s for the badges, you can solo two camps and get 10 badges faster than most can run the puzzle.

Nah dude this game is dying because people want to “feel epic” by sitting on seige which actually takes zero skill (press 2-3 buttons repeat for hours)…and people want to be buddies with their enemies…. Lol if you’re on another server you’re gonna die to us. Just about the entire population of gw2 wvw is here for the social aspect and not the competition. Thus that guy from the oringinal post literally baffled someone could kitten with him in a pvp zone lol.

Also, out of the few active [EDGE] members, some of us have sigils and we run the heard around EB and the BL’s at times for fun or when we aren’t roaming. We don’t sigil when we are roaming though. We prefer to keep to our typical OBS/EDGE 3-7 man group. So if you run into a warrior or mez commanding in EB, don’t start complaining about all EDGE being zergy, know that we rotate commanders with the rest of DR.
And yes, you will usually always see EDGE with OBS, we share teamspeak channels and we are all in both guilds for missions.
No disrespect was meant. PS, the best guild I have ran into when defending the home BL has been CoSA. Hope you guys make it to fight night
on the one hand, what that mesmer did was pretty crappy.
on the other hand, all is fair in war.
i prefer my opponents to have a modicum of honor on the field, but i don’t expect it. it’s just a pleasant surprise when it happens.
but back to the topic and hand... fun match up so far.
first pic, whoever the heck this ele is... dang man, you tanky as kitten. i think me and my friend both together never got you below 3/4 life. kudos.
second pic... yesterday morning and early afternoon watching my server-mates trying to retake our keep in EB. i’m not quite sure what was going wrong, but it was some quality entertainment. unfortunately for me and my friends sitting with me, DR didn’t like popcorn, and hit us with an AoE of some sort. darn. (we finally took the keep like 2 hours later)
Kittens ;D
Ozoo go conditions before they nerf fire + terror, its worth it. Power will be untouched come nerfs so your spec will still be there.
Never talked to Oozo, but some of us like to keep our old builds despite the new “OP” stuff going around
- props -

The game is dying because there is nothing to play for….Want to get stoked about taking an objective? Cool, just don’t go to sleep because you cant count on people keeping it, or lately on SF can’t even count on having enough folks to defend much of anything…Even if you do keep all kinds of PPT, what do you win at the end of the week? (At one point and time SF was motivated to climb out of T8, but beyond that the motivation is just not there anymore)
I have been on both sides of the fence, wanted to win a match, didnt care, lost a bunch, won a bunch….
Best advice I could give people if you wanna keep WvW alive, stop scoreboard watching, stop coming to WvW to meet your PVE nubiness needs, bail your scary kitten out of those cozy towers and keeps, get off that NUBASS siege and come fight and learn to play your toon. That is one thing that I do agree with PAXA on…

Pretty much this. Use WvW for what it is, a massive roaming team deathmatch battleground. Learn your class, REALLY learn it, play it to it’s limits, put yourself in situations that actually have some kind of risk and actually push you to get better, because right now that’s basically the end game. Every time you lose a fight you should have learnt something. Every time you spam 1 on an AC in a tower, somewhere in the world a child dies.
Don’t forgo the best challenge that you can get in this game because you’d rather press 1 to win than face losing a fight and paying a few silver repair costs, you can make that money back just getting stacks off of coyote’s for kitten’s sake.
With all due respect, I don’t agree with you two. Your games ain’t my game.
I do learn a lot, about how to play my toon, in WvW — dropped the sorry-kitten ranger’s long bow and learned the short bow, contemplated thoroughly then actually tweaked my build, tried and changed the pets I used. (still love~ 
my Charlie Brown Bear and Paula Polar Bear <- I think bears thing explained me a lot…)
I was and still is a lame ranger, but lately it becomes possible for me to slowly solo a camp — kill the scouts and dodge the guards first, kite with SB’s skill #3 and stack the conditions using pets and with the help from spirits.
Had some interesting 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or small group fights with my random but regular party in this match. Won some, lost some… or probably lost a bit more. I don’t really care about dying recently. If I am dying or dead somewhere on the map, the other 1 or 2 members in my party will notice and come to check what’s wrong with the particular site or region, before or without me asking or calling out in chat. We usually won’t bring all our 4-5 PuG-like party members down to fight or zerg the enemy. Sadly we siege lovers/haters always have sieges somewhere to baby-sit.
I like and enjoy the strategic and social side of WvW. I’m not a killer-type player. (I’ll roll on a thief? a mes? a warrior? a guardian? an ele? a necro? or an engi? for that, I think.)
Yea, attacking enemy borderland for whatever reasons you come up for yourself is fun. Also being attackers, you have certain advantages over defenders. At least, it’s fun, it’s your call to attack, and it’s rewarding — mentally and physically. Or, at least you know your kitten in advance. Most of the time, we few homeland defenders are either chasing enemy’s tail, cleaning and patching things up, or, most likely, fighting the highy-buffed Lv.99 Legendary Champion Boredom. (._.)
Please do understand that the sieges aren’t there by themselves, in BL and/or in EB. Some smart guys (or, dumb fools) built them gradually involving several runs from supply hut and camps. And sieges aren’t always there by themselves. Some boring people who has no better things to do in WvW refreshed them (or just some WvW noobs tried to fire those seemingly interesting toys) from time to time. Ask any siegers in BL or commanders in EB who ordered and/or built sieges at keeps and towers, the mortality rates of sieges won’t be low.
I understand that people can have fun in different ways, in their own ways, and I respect our hardcore roaming and fighting squads, especailly [EDGE]. (Sorry~ [OBS] & Bukems q: ) Thanks for helping defending our south borderland now and then. I frequently ran into Gwyndor, and maybe Initialise as well, in our south camps before. Even if you were AFK standing there in SE camp, I still feel greatly safer at home. BTW, Zeroskillz is my former guildie, and I think I am the one who makes him join EDGE. (Sorry, had to turn down your invitation weeks ago, I’m afraid that I’m not your type.)
