Guild Wars 2

Just started doing it a week or two ago, so I can’t comment on how things are in the past.

Has camping always been this bad? I mean, I understand if a couple ppl, a group or so, decides to do it. Then tonight I ran into like 15+ players camped at the cliffs above the room right after the dark room, with multiple sieges set up ,while their realm is losing.

Has it always been this bad?

Its a pvp map and they are killing people. Whats your question?

I just find it odd that they would rather camp a side feature of the WvW map than winning the WvW match, the main objective of the map.

Then again, I was told it is just from a particular server, so I guess it is their thing.

Yes it’s always been like that and likely won’t change. Gather up enough people at the end of the torch area and have a mesmer run up there and port people up.

Yes guilds or a lot of the enemies usually build siege etc and camp.

It actually prevents the enemy from getting siege

Nope, it is your freedom to do whatever you like.

I just find it a pointless exercise when you are actually losing, But you have your logic, I am sure.

It obviously depends on what server you’re in. It isn’t that hard to believe that some losing team would camp a shiny chest with arrow carts and catapults just to annoy players on other servers.

In my experience, it’s never been that hilariously large.

Siege are so cheap though but then there’s those that find teleport costs expensive.

Siege IS cheap, but when you get it from the JP its free. That means the cheap siege they woulda had plus, when accumulated by an entire server’s worth of players, a great deal more siege.

Many players won’t even bother buying siege, but will happily deploy it if they got it from a JP.

Not only that, for a server that’s losing badly it can just plain feel nice to camp the JP on a map you’re losing and actually kill a few people, because the winning team will rarely send an entire zerg to the place.

If you can save up a few silver, that’s already alot. I only have a few left from getting my 500 badges.

If you are going to make a logical argument you would first have to show that winning WvW isn’t a pointless exercise. What do you get? E-Rep from the server ladder?

Well it’s entertaining. You are keeping the bad guys from goodies. Not seeing the issue.

I say more camping the puzzles – make it have traps and surprise monsters than knock you off it. Spring doors, trap doors, poop flinging monkeys and players killing you constantly!

I hate those puzzles…

The people that camp BG puzzle are the same type of people that like to gank lowbies. They know they have the advantage and that’s how they like to make themselves feel better. I’d rather do something useful than waiting for a poor sod to come along and knock them of a ledge for hours on end.

An honest brawl inside the puzzle is more than welcome though, but most people are to afraid of that.
