Guild Wars 2

Hello wvw’ers.

As some of you seasoned, wvw’ers maybe aware, there seems to be an increasing prevalence of karma trains in the smaller hours of WvW. I and many others have noticed this, playing on the server SFR and we decided to experiment.

The goal was to find out just how dedicated members in the karma train are to get in the tower/keep and get the the lord.

I hope this video indicates just how dedicated some players are (usually upsacled) to pay no regard to enemies and go straight to the lord for the bountiful world experience and champion baggy.

In conclusion, I think the anti-karma train tactics and be vastly improved.

Discuss.

Haha yea, karma trains can be soooooo tunnelvisioned. Heck ive seen 80+ blobs running up a ramp to a tower lord, leaving ALL siege ON it intact

I would say they are also going to the lord’s room in order to reach their objective – capping your tower, which you will have to wait a while before getting it back. Then they can take their time destroying all siege and in hunting you down, if need be.

It is indeed pleasant to see a small group of focused people being able to down so many enemies, but the remainder of the zerg will still wipe you and then res their buddies. This would only work on smaller groups of 10-15 people, but anything over that will net you a fast (and glorious!) ticket to Respawn Town.

^can be vastly improved?

Yeah I agree actually. Yesterday we slipped inside Stonemist (with about 5) and randomly killed off stragglers from 1 enemy zerg that invaded SM being defended by the other. No-one payed attention to us, cause they were too busy catapulting walls. xD

Sure it’s fun to get free loot, but people actually liking to PvD more than PvP?

It’s about maximum reward for minimum effort.

Cite how many dungeons you’ve done where your group skipped, exploited ,glitched, ran or jumped past trash mobs to get to bosses.

Fast forward to karma trains. Hop on the tag, the tag does all the work for you, you get all the reward.

I find it shocking that after all this time people are still shocked (themselves) that this game is chocked full of PvDooring karma training PvE’ers stuck in a PvP-ish zone….
