Guild Wars 2

Recently these few days as people are “learning” about some tactics such as bleeding, poisoning, cleaving, etc, that they have taken those into some kind of religion instead of actually using them in proper situation. I had a 2v2 fight, and as soon as one member of the opposite team went down, my teammate immediately left to other point, letting the opponents rez an 1v2 me while i desperately tried to cleave.
My teammate’s reasoning was that bleeding out opponents is always better no matter what. At that moment there was no way for me to understand what went through his mind other than being ignorant or utterly unaware that some tactics are situational.

Same thing goes with cleave. People don’t understand that putting poison on downed body is not enough to keep other teammates from rezzing. Some people just believe poisoning the downed bodies is enough, and when the downed enemy rezzes, they immediately wipe and blame other people for not stacking more poison.
Also recently people have been calling me out because I rotate away from 1v2s. I don’t understand this trend of calling people out because they rotate away from fights. There is no rule that I have to 1v2 or 1v1 people and must win, but those people believe that I should even when my team was winning the fight 500-200.

I don’t understand how people just hold on to that one concept and refuse to learn other parts of GW2. Conquest is a very complex gameplay and with gw2 combat and class and builds mixed in together, its even more interesting. Yet from time to time I see these people playing gw2 pvp, and I get baffled because I play to win the match instead of my 1v1s or 1v2s. And those people claim that they put hundreds maybe thousands of hours into gw2 pvp. Shouldn’t they then have a firm understanding of how conquest works? Can someone make sense of this for me please?

I’ve had this happen where me and an ally downed the enemy but I was already low health to begin with and I ended up getting downed. Then my ally left immediately and the enemies ally came. It depends on the situation to finish em immediately such as if it’s a ranger I almost always finish them or depending on where their allies are. Your best bet is to find a team with randoms you just can’t get the players you’re looking for consistently

‘bleeding out opponents is always best, no matter what’. This is especially true when one of the enemies is still standing AND they’re contesting your node capture 2v1! kitten brilliant!! :/ sorz that happened. This almost rivals 4 ppl rotating back to home for 1 ranger. “Well, I’m all alone a mid now guys. Hey I wonder where THEIR other 4 players are heading!?!” /sigh I see way too many people that still have no concept of rotating and paying attention to the minimap (it gives a LOT of info that goes overlooked). These are all low/mid tier problems really though. Primarily Unranked. Rarely see these problems in ranked matches though. There’s a huge knowledge/tactics/strategy gap between the two generally. Unranked farm groups take advantage of this to the fullest for easy wins. Not like PvP is rapidly growing so it should all trickle down eventually.
