So I joined my first ever game of sPvP today and was dissapointed to find that I was in a lobby with people who said that were going to “grind me out” for trying. Is this allowed? Also is it a common problem?

It completely ruined the game (sPvP not GW2 in general) for me as my so called team mate stood and watched as the enemy killed me, even joking about it in all chat. If this is not allowed what do you report for?

I am still in the lobby afk as apparently this is slowing them down or something.

If you’re looking to win, and not farm glory, just solo queue in tournaments. 8v8 is all glory farming zergs.

So its not somewhere to go to actually have fun and is just used as a place to farm basicly? Ok thanks for the warning, back to WvW I go.

I think you should try to actually play a few games before judging it. sPvP is a completely different game from Worlds PvP. Glory is just a nice bonus reward.

So its normal for people on your own team to stand and watch as the enemy kill you? I’m not sure I understand what you mean? Or maybe you didn’t read the first post as to why I have a problem with what just happened?

If of course you did read it and it is normal for that to happen I appologise and agree it is very different from WvW and will certainly keep away.

Are you just trolling? No, of curse it’s not normal. The point of sPvP is not to farm glory.

I’ve never heard of people doing this. Of course you’re going to farm glory, try to cap points, get kills, etc, but have fun doing it. If people say that, leave the server and look for a different one. Of course 8v8 isnt taken seriously at all, so try queueing for tournaments.
