Guild Wars 2

Best thing to come out of this thread was the use of the phrase “mouth coward”.

I’m going to use it now.

Wow. I just made that post as a joke. I’m seriously impressed that you wordsmithed yourself into actually believing those things.

Really?
In that case, I may need to attune my e-joke detector by repositioning the aetheric humor matix. You know, the one below fluxometric impulse capacitor.
I need an Asura! Someone get CuddleStrike!

Whoa whoa whoa. SoR complaining about transfers to other servers but not their own? Please stop the accusations! Everyone knows that the transfers to JQ and BG are all bandwagoners but those to SoR are “building the server right”. You can’t even compare.

Besides, SoR never buys guilds like other servers. That gold that was put together to help their new servermates transfer? Those were just “donations”. Completely different thing!

I know right?

As someone from SoR said a few weeks back,
SoS guilds to BG -> Bandwaggoners
SoS guilds to SoR -> True WvW guilds of SoS

If you ask any sensible SoR member, everyone will agree that we have gotten transfers, and we’re quite thankful for it. All of our friends in TSYM, AFS, HIRE and so on (I can’t recall everyone off the top of my head, I’m sorry! ) are valued members of our community and WvW strategy. I think the idea of bandwagoning simply comes from the volume of transfers; when SoS disbanded, Blackgate got what was perceived to be a much larger influx of guilds than SoR, hence the “stacking” accusations and whatnot. You cannot deny that your WvW capacity spiked as a result. Similarly with Kaineng, Blackgate received multiple guilds in one go, while SoR has received a number of guilds over the last few weeks in a more spread out manner. The difference is simply whether your WvW population increases in spikes, or incrementally.

As far as SoR donating gold: I listen in to our weekly WvW strategy meetings on TS, and the one thing that gets repeated and stressed every week is that we will not offer gold to other guilds. Should they choose to come over, we will be glad to run dungeons and help other guilds farm for gold, and I’m pretty sure we would also have folks who simply donated gold. However, I think that on principle, this is different from “buying” guilds. I’m sure we can accommodate transferring the last remaining members or whatnot, but we wouldn’t simply say “we’ll give you X gold to transfer,” nor would we meet demands of that nature. Our belief is that you should come to SoR because you want to be here, and if you aren’t willing to put in the time (to acquire gold) to immigrate over, then I’m not so sure how strong your commitment is.

BG -> 2 Major guilds (MERC, ND) and AoI (a combination of small guids)
SoR -> 2 Major guilds (TSym, AFS) and OCX (PvX guild)

So what difference does it make ??

And in the same way that you say that you help other guilds transferring by running dungeons to help some members to come, every other server does the same as well. So basically, BG has done nothing different from the almighty SoR and yet they have to take kitten from your forum warriors week after week. KN choosing us was totally from their side and it would probably have to do with the excellent relations BG had with TC & KN. I wasn’t there when SoR was T2 but if this is the way SoR used to deal with the match threads and PR, are you honestly surprised that KN chose us ?? And in the rare event that BG implodes, do you think any of us would ever consider going to your server because of all this ?? Same with the KN guilds, think about it.

BG got ND,MERC, FOE, AGG all in one go…. FOE and AGG jumped ship however….

Every week this thread is posted and every week I read it. Why? I don’t know. It’s basically 20+ pages of idiots pretending to be ESPN talking-heads followed by bigger idiots arguing about what they heard on ESPN while drinking at the bar last night.

I hope you realized what you just did…
Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.

Didn’t BG also get ATAC, Work, etc and all the other small/med WvW guilds from SoS as well?

Impressive again! Could I pay you some gold to write propaganda for BG? Or, ya know, you could decide to write some first and then I could “donate” the gold afterwards, if that’s what you’re into.

They’re AoI.

i just know that most ppl really think BG buy guilds.
2000g per guild? well, if i’m correct it was 1g/38gem.
2000g cant even move half of their guild members.

all i heard when guilds want to xfer to BG, someone from SoS asked me how things going in BG and how’s queue. and when they made a final decision. they told me many of them farming gold for xfer here. few day after that BG discuss that we should help them, maybe not much but helping (new)friends never be bad thing anyway. and same things to KN.

but look what in this forum?

Can someone toss a score update in here?
