I’ve been playing wvw 4-5 days a week since launch on TC a few hours a day (mainly solo or small group roaming). Out of all the match’s CD has by far the highest alt-F4 players I’ve seen. Tonight i thought I’d keep a tally, in 3 hours 10 alt F4’s. I’d be lucky to see 10 all week against other servers. They complain about being out numbered on this thread from time to time yet thats exactly the way they slamed us a month or so ago when they were FOTM. No respect for CD. Yaks however is cool.
Alt-F4 just became popular recently, and you just started playing matches against CD recently, coincidence? No, logic is your friend. I know everyone likes to jump on the CD hate bandwagon, but I can make the exact same observation. TC and YB both have tons of people Alt-F4ing and I’ve never encountered this many in the past. Also, I’ve received plenty of dirty messages from both TC and YB while killing your folks in the JP, so the people who like to say that CD is the only one with rude players are just flat out wrong. I have never messaged anyone insults after they have killed me, and I’ve been CD since beta.
What i said is simple dude, here ill break it down for you, CD alt f4 far more often than Yaks. You don’t notice this because your on CD.
See, I don’t agree, I’ve had 1 CD alt F4 on me against YBs who seem to do it every other fight I encounter them in. I have absolutely no doubt our server has its fair share, being a sore loser and bad sportsman in your own character’s death is not confined to any single server.

agreed. i’m on TC and i’ve seen it done fairly equally between yaks and CD. I don’t delude myself into beliving my own server doesn’t do it as much.
This just in. I would like to report a TC Alt-F4ing while 6 of us were chasing him underwater in TCBL last night. Please report to your commanders for your promotion.
@Xavi are you sure he didn’t just WP back? Was he in combat?
I’m from TC and I find the whole idea of alt-F4ing to be silly. Take your lumps. You die, it is because you screwed up, were beaten, got outnumbered, but kitten don’t take it so personally that you have to actually restart your game.

Are you sure he didn’t just spam the Waypoint while he was out of combat? I know that if I’m outnumbered 10-1 I’d rather waypoint out rather than give the enemy team a free kill.
But if I’m in combat, so be it, will just dish out as much damage as I can before dying.

Nevertheless it’s been great kicking CD’s butt this week, truly satisfying, hope you guys bounce back stronger (like TC did).
That’s not happening. And it has nothing to do with aching buttocks or guilds or anything else that people obsess over here. It’s all about PvE. WvW is currently a PvE minigame that now gives even less/inferior rewards and satisfaction to Instanced PvE and “Market PvP” (flipping).
CD as a whole, is not a server full of newbs.
They’re very capable for being so unorganized and I think this week’s score (despite being outmanned so much) demonstrates that pretty well. We can argue what constitutes skill in this game and I’d concede there’s not a whole lot to master like there was in GW1. But the things that lead to success where it really matters (which currently isn’t WvW in any way), are the things CD really really represents well. Our L.A. is brimming over with “Commanders” and Legendary Weapon bearers. We rarely find many people who fail the tougher paths in dungeons. A lot of times the Priest of Grenth DE will also “Accidentally Succeed” to the shagrin of everyone who was just trying to farm it. WvW just can’t offer enough people like that, the lasting sense of accomplishment and persistent progress they benefit from in our very crowded PvE environment.
The World-bonuses from WvW also mean nothing to people who can easily cruise through the toughest dungeons in the game without Teamspeak or barely even a word between eachother before the toughest fights. They just flow with the unexpected and overcome it and then are rewarded handsomely for it. No planning needed. WvW is currently the complete Antithesis of this.

Same can be said for any server out there.
Most servers though, TC included, can’t seem to talk a lot of PVE’ing faction of the game into participating in WvW. If any server could tap that well of talent…then nothing could stop it.
But how to invigorate a population that simply has other things to do?

Like grind in a dungeon for ascension gear (AG)? That’s my new goal for WvW! Beyond stupid.
The only thing keeping me in this game is WvW. If AG starts hitting WvW and making a huge impact (as I believe it will,) well then TC is out another diehard WvW’er and a player.
I feel unclean even sticking around but I do love the killing.
Kitten-it Anet, why did you have to go and blow it?
I just want to parrot everyone in saying its been the best match up I’ve been part of since release.
I remember TC getting smashed by CD a few weeks back but the tables have turned, anybody from CD willing to share why they think this is so? I’m playing from Singapore so have a few friends playing on CD .. but when I ask them if it is due to server transfers they say no, that it is due to the breaking down of the Titan Alliance .. just curious is all if anybody wants to share.
Overall had a great time against YB and looking forward to playing against you guys next week too.
Hopefully the Lost Shores expansion doesn’t result in too many peeps staying away from WvW this week as was the case with the Halloween event!
We actually did lose some WvW guilds, and Synergy Alliance basically died. OES and Fang are the big guilds I know of that left, OES taking several good commanders with them to JQ. Also, there’s always the ones that just leave to go to whatever server beats them. Free transfers haven’t been nice to us.
