I feel like recycling posts is entirely appropriate for recycled threads.

We could make it a game: spin the wheel and go back however many months it tells you to, pick the first stacking fix/exploit thread and quote yourself.

Why is it more satisfying? And why is dodging against a wall cheesy? I dont see any difference.

And thats fine. Im not asking you to agree with me. You either do or you don`t. I`m sure not gonna spend the past 12 hours trolling and flaming you about it.

What’s wrong with the game, Anet
People playin’ like they ain’t got no ranged weps
I think the whole forums addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that’ll bring you trauma

Over LFG, yeah, we try to stop stackin’
But we still got elitists here playin’
In the LA, the big GMB
The Colesys and The Liliths and The Swiftpaw

But if you only have love for your own class
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you’re bound to get irate, yeah

Madness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta play how you want just to set it straight
Take control of your mind brain and meditate
Let your bear pet gravitate to the mob, y’all, y’all

People stackin’, people dyin’
OP’s hurt and you hear them cryin’
Can you practice what you preach?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Danicia, Robert, Hrouda help us
Send some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the Stack? (Stack)

Where is the stack (The stack)
Where is the stack (The stack)
Where is the stack, the stack, the stack?

It just ain’t the same, old ways have changed
New meta is strange, is the game insane?
If Clerics and Nomads are so strong
Why are there pieces of trash mobs that don’t belong?

Ele’s droppin’ swords
Toxic communties fillin’ lungs of little ones
With ongoin’ sufferin’ as the zerker’s die easy
So ask yourself is the stackin’ really gone

So I could ask myself really what is goin’ wrong
In this game that we playin’ in people keep on stackin’ in
Makin’ wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin’ each other, deny thy brother
A stack is goin’ on but the reason’s undercover

The truth is kept secret, it’s swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know stacking
Where’s the stack, y’all, come on (I don’t know)
Where’s the stack, y’all, come on (I don’t know)
Where’s the stack, y’all

People stackin’, people dyin’
Posters hurt and you hear them cryin’
Can you practice what you preach?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Where is the stack (The stack)?
Where is the stack, the stack, the stack?

I feel the weight of the forums on my shoulder
As I’m gettin’ older, y’all, comments get colder
Most of us only care about gold makin’
Selfishness got us followin’ the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the Speed runners
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young mindbrains faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the livestreams

Yo’, whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading PHIW we’re spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity

That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feelin’ under
That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feelin’ down
There’s no wonder why sometimes I’m feelin’ under
Gotta keep my faith alive ‘til stackin’ is found

Sing with me y’all:
One stack, one stack (We only got)
One stack, one stack (That’s all we got)
One stack, one stack
And something’s wrong with it (Yeah)
Something’s wrong with it (Yeah)
Something’s wrong with the Ga-Ga- Game, yeah
We only got
(One stack, one stack)
That’s all we got
(One stack one stack)

The later if by far more satisfying to me (and others, judging by the volume of threads on the subject). Cheesy-mode just isnt really my thing

Why is it more satisfying? And why is dodging against a wall cheesy? I dont see any difference.

And thats fine. Im not asking you to agree with me. You either do or you don`t. I`m sure not gonna spend the past 12 hours trolling and flaming you about it.

So why do you want it stopped if its a personal opinion? Seems rather selfish to me.

I would like to see an end to stacking because it would mean an improvement to the game. If that makes me selfish then so be it.

YOU think stacking makes the game worse, while it is intended by devs (limited boon range etc.), open your own groups and you’re fine. I start thinking you’re simply a bad troll.

Many people live in their own little bubbles of thought and they never leave them. Usually that’s fine, until they decide that their bubble of thought is worth something more, that their idea of how the game should be is on greater footing to the thoughts of other people. When this bubble of thought cannot be backed up by evidence or rational argument past ’it’s what i think is right’ it becomes very problematic for this person then, to try and force their ideals onto other people. They risk looking foolish and can fall victim to emotional episodes.

The lesson today ladies and gents is this. If you have a problem and you feel that the game should be drastically changed to suit your bubble of thought, back your skritt up with rational reasoning and sound arguments otherwise prepare to get fried.

How the game currently is – People who want efficiency can stack, people who want immersion can spread out. Everyone can complete content how they want. People group with like-minded people, everyone wins.

How the game would be with anti-stack mechanics – People who want efficiency do the next-most “cheesy” thing, and are annoyed that mechanics are more restrictive. People who want immersion are annoyed that zerker-leets are still finding ways to cheese the content, and cry more on the forums. Everyone is more annoyed, everyone looses.

Give us a sane argument against forming your own party as a solution, and we’ll take you more seriously.

This straw-man is telling me we are not in Kansas anymore.

(I know I shouldn’t fall for this but, meh, office is particularly boring today: No, mounts and trinity are core concepts decided not to be included in the game. I can’t find a single podcast or oficial documentation where they explained why not working on a body blocking was bad for GW2).

Only counter for body blocking is zerg content while in-combat but well, if you really are in a combat situation this will show why zerging is not always as effective as a unpolished game makes you think it is.

You can still stack with body block for what LOS/stack is worth as a strategy. Body blocking not only stops players from stepping into each other but also allows players to stop mobs with their bodies creating new scenarios and adding another variable to the combat dynamic. It seems dumb but it polishes the game give you something else to think of while playing. You would still have dodge to trespass and get out of odd situations and it would increase the cases where dodging into a mob would let you stuck surrounded by enemies. (and the other way around, you could surround a boss and not let him run out).

Actually i;d like to see it in wvw because it lacks formations and real life imitations of combat strategy. Though if they do this AoE limit must go away (it wasn;t welcome anyway) Also I like seeing idiots fail and stumble on each other because they’re careless.

PvE though, there are more pressing issues to address than this.

Sorry, I just re-read the whole thread and couldn’t find anything else against body blocking rather than the possibility of a FGS exploit. Lots of trolling and teenage replies, little new on the stacking subject and only 1 reason why body blocking would be bad, which is in fact exploiting an already exploited exploit (yes, FGS against a wall is lovely but we have to admit that stacking several fire pits meant to be created drawing a line is a wrong use of the skill, thus a common used and seemingly accepted exploit).

WvW without it its a joke. Can’t be called massive pvp if you can just run like a ghost crossing every enemy in line.

PVE I agree, there are most important things to address first. Still body blocking would be a plus.
