I want to congratulate YB for this week, you guys are putting a hell of a lot of effort into this. Every fight I’ve been in against YB has been difficult and the strategy has been evident. More to the point, your commanders have some exceptional levels of discipline in only seeking out Green targets or blobs. The amount of effort put into not only defending your own territory but also carrying the defense of EB targets on eternal battlegrounds and EB’s own borderland to the point where we don’t even see blue defenders is just silly at times. Well fought, you’ve earned it every step of the way.

As to everything else going on in the forums on this match-up, everyone needs to show a little more respect and that’s not just for the forum warriors beating their chest. We’re all in this for the fun and challenge of the game.

1.) YB and EB are showing an amazing amount of discipline in their efforts against SBI, temporary alliances or not I’ve not seen anything like this without some serious backstabbing later on in the week or at least opportunistic strikes on the ally the entire match up.

2.) Every server has it’s problems and crowing about one server being a band wagon or ‘relying on the blob’ is like calling the kettle black too often. Everyone blobs since the meta currently is numbers win. The bandwagon effect is unfortunate, most came because of the community we had on our own diminished server after the massive transfers off. We’ve felt the sting of transfers both ways and it is what it is.

3.) I’m starting to get the feeling that the trolls on everyone’s borderlands are the work of one guild. The names sound a little too familiar, the guild tags are similar, and their actions are all pretty much the same. Bottom line, trolls be trolls, don’t feed them. Block/report/move on. Get some screenshots or inform some anet if you see them. That’s the best anyone can do.

In conclusion, good match up everyone. Everyone’s been whining about it being too easy for weeks so I’m glad that it’s a ‘wake up call’ for every server involved. Just YB/EB put more preparation going into the week. I can’t say we underestimated either server, we knew it was going to be difficult (or some of us did) just the unexpected alliance really tipped things over. Good work everyone! Keep up the good fight and as always keep the battles on the battlefield, no need to fight each other off of it too. o7

Hats off. Well said
But believe it or not, we NEVER formed an alliance with EBay. It’s true that we wanted to (and we did) focus on SBI right from start as they are strong. It’s a COINCIDENCE that EBay also focussed on SBI rather than us. There was no communication between us and some of the EBay players did imply this in this thread if you dig up.

Although it DID contribute to the 65k+ lead, its just one of the reason, NOT the only reason we are winning, like some of SBI are saying.

Last but not the least, I hope the griefers/trolls get permanently banned ASAP.

Great win YB. EB good run this week. Not sure why you can’t secure 2nd. TY SBI Commanders for always giving a fight.

Shocked that 2v1’s don’t happen more regularly, especially when IoJ and NSP are vs anyone.

Yes SBI has trolls, and they are annoying. They make up a very small percentage of our population. It is disturbing to see how a few players actions can make so many players from other servers act as bad if not worse with some justification of you did it to me so I will do it to you mentality. It is very hypocritical of many that claim SBI does and says all these bad things and acts in less then humble ways, then proceed to do the exact same things week after week even if you aren’t even in the matchup.

Just saying.

Oh I was there for that, you got in our keep and we killed all your golems and wiped you. 10 min later you showed up with 30 more golems so we wiped you agin. We thought you were done but no, 15 min later you showed up with 30 more golems for us to kill. ~100 golems in a hour is pretty impressive.

And E bay was trying to stop our reinforcements from getting back inside our keep the whole time, they even managed to cap a couple of our t3 towers.

Thanks for that fight, it was so much fun.

Sorry about that. Here’s essentially what matters to you guys.

To SBI,

We know who the trolls are. We won’t work with them, I promise you. I’m certain as a community we don’t approve of Foe and the other bullkitten some other people do. Please, accept my deepest apologies these people contributed to ruining the match up. I play for fun, and I play to win. I know you guys do too. I’m aware you guys have your own trolls that come to our BL and do equal bullkitten, but that’s out of our control. As a community we don’t approve of this, and please don’t let our trolls speak for our server. I, for one, care very much about my image and the image of my friends. The actions of the few don’t represent the many. Please accept my apology in behalf of the decent folk in the server, and we look forward to playing with you guys again sometime down the road.

I’m sorry, but this is just a video of you guys bringing far too many golems into an unsieged, undefended, unupgraded SM. It’s not really impressive aside from you guys having enough supply to pull it off. Show me a 10 man taking an upgraded SM with defenders and I’ll be impressed. As it stands Ebay’s taken SM with as much ease as you did in the video, except we use a treb or two and then a few rams.
You also headed to SBI’s keep and then just… stopped. Disappointments are disappointing.

SBI currently has a 10K lead over Ebay, raised from an earlier 6K lead. Looks like you guys are managing to keep up from second, nice job you’re pulling! Let’s see if those of us at Ebay can hit the grindstone despite Thanksgiving being today and close the gap or surpass it, or see if you guys at SBI make the gap wider today. Only time will tell. Oh, and YB, try not to let [DIE] annoy you too much, we keep trying to get them off you with no avail…we have no real control over them.

I think it’s good strategy for EBay and YB to gang up on us, it can be beneficial to both of them, even if it can be a damaging to our morale (which it must be, I don’t see the queues I used to). Wars are not won on manpower alone, a bit of diplomacy can change the tide of battle. If EBay and YB are working together, that’s part of the game. The only thing that bugs me is that SBI seems to have become the ‘big bad guy’ when we’re just another server trying to win. How did we become so disliked, a few forum comments aside?

Meta gaming is one thing (largely possible thanks to Anet posting the match schedule publicly so YB and EB know they are together again next week too) but if you’re going to meta game at least get someone who can do it properly. Had you forced SBI to finish third it would have been that much easier for YB to finish above SBI overall for season 1 depending on placement next week, allowing EB to finish third leaves the door open for YB to finish ranked below SBI when you didn’t have to leave that available.

Getting EB into second place was also within YB’s power to do. At this point YB is so far ahead that unless they get 0 ppt until reset and SBI gets 695 ppt for the rest of the week (impossible) YB will finish first, EB is only trailing SBI by around 10k and yet tonight SBI takes EB’s stuff and is widening the gap. YB essentially donating their BL to EB would have made an SBI second place finish all but impossible with EB’s ppt being too high to catch and two servers to defend it. In either case YB still finishes first and thus in all practicality loses nothing at all for doing this.

Which raises an interesting question.

EB, why are you so content to just accept your fate as the peasants upon whom YB plant their flag? What do you get out of this? YB has the opportunity to help you boost your stats as well yet they are quite content to just let you finish last and EB, you seem so content to just let YB stand on your chest and kitten in your mouth. All partnerships have some inequity and it is easy to see what YB gets out of this, you on the other hand get nothing but the privilege of letting YB kitten on you without so much as raising a hand to you. This is doormat to the highest power.

Then again, I don’t recall calling either of you smart enough to figure these things out on your own or even implying it.

Do you think YB is ran by one person? How is it within our power to give our bl to EB exactly? You seem to be lacking the intelligence you claimed neither server has.

Also, by getting SBI’s attention, we allowed ebay to catch up in ppt with a 6k gap. It is only when SBI realize the danger of getting pushed down to 3rd did SBI went to EBBL and turn it green. If Ebay cant handle SBI blob theres not much YB can do.

No, most of us didn’t know. I would bet that if more did, the vast majority would agree that integrity means more than winning. Both sides did it? Personally, I would rather take the high road.

Our guild has been spending about 20 gold an hour in guild cats and pulling 12 hour shifts trying to make a difference … if our server cheated then it makes it a hollow victory. I HOPE it was just a few people and would struggle to believe it was more than that since we have called this server home since headstart.

Has SBI lost a bunch of coverage, or what? You guys destroyed YB last time. Or are you just all on vacay preparing for next weeks brawl?

For whatever reason we have lost a lot of people this matchup. Tonight was the first time there was a short queue in ebg and we managed to take 2/3 of the map. Some of it is holidays, some new content, some ESO beta (that was my excuse), and some is the running rub with the 2v1. Think once we realized this was going on people started to get busy with other things. Hard to get into WvW when your opponents behave in, what some might call, an unsportsmanlike manner. Think FA will have an easier time with us next week than they did before because of burnout from this match.

We have been constantly defending two fronts on every map where we have an objective, after a while it gets annoying especially when individually YB and EB are both terrible, from everything I’ve seen. I think that is what really irks the people complaining in the forums. Individually we would smash them but together its like facing a T1 server, the numbers are overwhelming. When there are 10-15 people dedicated to preventing yaks from going to keeps, a 20-30 man zerg from the other server hitting bay and another 20-30 man zerg hitting the keep on the other side of the map, you know the ppt isn’t going to be in your favor.

That being said, I have not been in a group that has lost to either server in open field unless we were vastly outnumbered and even then we held out for a long time ( and we have been outnumbered, group vs group, pretty much the entire matchup). Screenshot below is one such example, we only ran into the tower after they put the trebs, superior ballista and ac up because we kept wiping them. For me, that is the real victory, and that is what I will take away from this match and I hope the rest of SBI does as well.

Some of the more annoyed SBI might want to think of YB and EB as sticks, individually weak but together they make a pretty strong ( bundle of sticks). PPT is, and always has been, coverage Yaks Bay has better coverage. /shrug

Looking forward to some honest fights from FA and DB next week.

1. Not to point fingers, but please stop making it sound like YB is the only side engaged in unfair play, SBI did the same.
2. You lost people because of fairweathers, not ESO blah blah bs. ESO happened for all of us, fractal patch happened on every server. You lost more to these events, once again, because of fairweathers.
3. If you want to see us (YB) fight good, please go to your garrison, YBBL’s defenders want nothing more but a secure and well sieged borderland, they are not interested in fighting open field.
4. Did i really just hear SBI said YB has more coverage?

In the end, take whatever you want from this match up, but, SCORE BOARD!!(Im sorry YB worked too hard for this victory.)

Trash talking aside, I really want to thank SBI for a really fun and stressful week. You guys really had us on our toes, especially after the Sunday night push.

Good job YB, you guys earned this victory — I know most of us on SBI do not condone the spying/siege destroying, etc. that went on (both sides), but it did not affect the outcome — YB won this matchup regardless . Well done to EB too who put up a good fight every night.

[One] and [VOID] groups were especially fun to fight, good luck in your future matches!

individually YB and EB are both terrible, from everything I’ve seen. I think that is what really irks the people complaining in the forums. Individually we would smash them but together its like facing a T1 server, the numbers are overwhelming. When there are 10-15 people dedicated to preventing yaks from going to keeps, a 20-30 man zerg from the other server hitting bay and another 20-30 man zerg hitting the keep on the other side of the map, you know the ppt isn’t going to be in your favor.

That being said, I have not been in a group that has lost to either server in open field unless we were vastly outnumbered and even then we held out for a long time ( and we have been outnumbered, group vs group, pretty much the entire matchup). Screenshot below is one such example,

You have some kind of fantasy image of your own server. The real SBI is a server that will call in 40+ people to go after 4 in voice comm.

The screenshot you posted is what we would call a manageable fight. If you actually think that is an overwhelming number of Yak’s then your overall WvW experience is quite limited.

1. Not to point fingers, but please stop making it sound like YB is the only side engaged in unfair play, SBI did the same.
2. You lost people because of fairweathers, not ESO blah blah bs. ESO happened for all of us, fractal patch happened on every server. You lost more to these events, once again, because of fairweathers.
3. If you want to see us (YB) fight good, please go to your garrison, YBBL’s defenders want nothing more but a secure and well sieged borderland, they are not interested in fighting open field.

1. Why do people say they’re not going to do something then promptly do that same thing? Also, I did nothing of the sort, you just have a guilty conscience.

2. I am confuse, not entirely sure you know what you just said. I also dislike it when people blame everything that ever goes wrong in WvW on the ephemeral “fairweathers”. It wasn’t just the “fairweathers” that stopped showing up. The match felt dirty, and not in a good way.

3. So that zerg just hangs out in your BL sipping tea and eating crumpets? Somehow I doubt that. please don’t make excuses for bad tactics, own it and get better. They choose to fight us in open field, and we kept wiping them with a much smaller group. I wasn’t just talking about YB BL though, that was just a hilarious example that I happened to take a screen of. ( Also, it’s fight “well” not “good”. Yes, I just corrected your grammar.)

4. Did I stutter?

Correction: YB and EB worked hard for your victory, please afford EB credit as they deserve it. If you hadn’t engaged in a cheesy 2v1 you might have been able to claim a clean victory on your own merit. I suppose many of you will conveniently forget that going forward.

Let’s see if we can get things straightened out then.

You claim EB and YB are bad in the open field and you have won every fight against them even when outnumbered. The only times you have lost is when you are facing “overwhelming” numbers. Oh yes, and you have been outnumbered in all of your open fields fights. Almost forgot about that gem.

You then post a screenshot with around 15 of you cowering in a tower from a staggering number of Yak’s which appears to be less than 25 people. Our group would consider that a manageable fight with fairly good odds of winning. You obviously don’t have a clue what overwhelming numbers really are.

Overwhelming numbers are things like 4v40 or 10v60.

a group of… maybe 8 of us were doing a supply run, got caught by a group of maybe 30 SBI’s. Most of us managed to run away. Gotta say, I was pretty proud about that.

Oozo, you go out of your way to look for fights where you can be outnumbered and constantly perform well. But now you are on day 6 of being kitten ed off about getting zerged away from a mission critical camp on reset night. smoke a joint or something. Youre acting like that bad experience is the entirity of your matchup. Obviously Qadr is a bad talking smack to provoke. Every servers got plenty of Qadrs.

Our 4 man havok has had both YB and EB call 20+ on us probably once every night this week. It’s because the point we were hitting mattered and the first 5-10 they had sent to fix the problem died. Take it as a compliment that you warranted a large response.

All 3 of the servers in this matchup are terrible and they know it. But we’ve all had some good fights, and arguably the best pvf of the whole season.

Good fights at Orchard (EBL) tonight (midnight-330am EST)! Love you lots e-bay!

-Ranger from [CTDL] (SBI)
-aka the one who kept garri tagged for 3.5 hours

That sounds really, really boring. Someone on your server better send you an abyss dye or something for doing that. I did enjoy watching you die to fall damage once as I was passing through that gate though. That was funny.

I hope they send me something too. It might have been boring if not for the great fights EB players kept bringing to orchard.

This has nothing to do with reset night. I just don’t want to hear some guy from SBI claiming to be outnumbered in all of their fights. Four getting chased by 15-20 is really common from all of the servers (including EBay when we used to fight them). Getting chased by 40-50? I can honestly only recall one server doing that consistently. What a waste of resources and manpower.

Wait…is this the garrison where I was spiking people on the inside of a gate from the outside under arrow cart fire?

The one where I got three ranks from an hour and a half last night from just standing outside with a quarter of my guild and repeatedly waving for more meat to come over?

If so, maybe we’ll be back tonight. It was an awesome farm!

Leave it up to Yak’s Bend to mistake a garrison whose outer walls are down as an open field, eh?

Which raises an interesting question.

EB, why are you so content to just accept your fate as the peasants upon whom YB plant their flag? What do you get out of this? YB has the opportunity to help you boost your stats as well yet they are quite content to just let you finish last and EB, you seem so content to just let YB stand on your chest and kitten in your mouth. All partnerships have some inequity and it is easy to see what YB gets out of this, you on the other hand get nothing but the privilege of letting YB kitten on you without so much as raising a hand to you. This is doormat to the highest power.

Then again, I don’t recall calling either of you smart enough to figure these things out on your own or even implying it.

What you seem incapable of understanding is the mindset of Ehmry Bay. Ehmry Bay has consistently performed well enough to place second in the majority of its matchups, but not well enough to place somewhere that the seasons rewards are supposed to be anything interesting.

Going into this matchup, the prediction was that Yaks and SBI would both wafflestomp us no matter what kind of resistance we had, and we’d come third. Being the “peasants upon whom YB plant their flag” quite literally means nothing to us because we entered resigned to placing third. Any possibility of us placing second only really came at the end of the weekend. Still, I think a lot of us are content to give as many ‘F. You’s to SBI that avoiding Yaks a little bit is no big deal. The thing that you are assuming about our server is that we give any sort of mind about PPT and our placement in the leagues. Don’t go on some diatribe about Ebay being subordinate to Yaks until you really consider the situation. Yaks cares about their placement in the league. We don’t. Some of them avoid our things to focus SBI (which is smart) and we carry on defending our things and enjoying the hilarity on the forums when SBI’s score is barely competing with Ebay’s.

I know that for Void, the matchup is very similar to any other. We may choose to hit SBI first, but after that’s done, any Yaks that initiate a fight will get a fight.
