Cant blame them, free transfers are ending soon, so people will have to make their final decisions now. So they need to entice people now cos afterwards people will be less reluctant to move servers as it will cost them.

Macros, you can use them as long as they arent macros.
Remember to buy the officially endorsed GW2 Steel Series Keyboard, it supports macros!
WvW, we only care if it affects the servers we play on.

No, I’d say the OP didn’t see it, because it was posted an hour after this thread. o;

I completely agree with the OP.
It’s straight up pathetic for huge server to recruit more because “they’re only winning with 30k points”. I hope they enjoy their powerpoint fights againt those gates!

I am not surprised to be honest. Most people prefer having an extra friend than learning to maximize the abilities of their class. Since this game favours numbers, the majority of people will always want to join whatever group has more numbers to afford them safety. Whether it be running with the biggest zerg in the BL or joining the server with the most players.

I don’t mind that mentality too much though, because it gives me the chance to distinguish my superiority over those players. I am an Asura afterall.

WvW life cycle

Top server→bragging rights→long queue times→transfer to low population server→PvD→server rises in tiers→stagnation from night capping→hop to new server (bandwagon)→rise to T1→top server……

Just like a lava lamp.

You see all these nice posts about “close community”, “great place to be”, “join us in our efforts”. Tons of sugarcoating for a simple message:

“We win in WvW by outnumbering the opponent. Join us so our advantage gets even bigger.”

SoS is recruiting. Really? The No1 server that has won all matchups in the last 2 months bar one (and usually without much trouble). What are you trying to achieve? Build HoD 2.0? We already had a completely broken T1 competition before, it was fun for neither side.

Kaineng recruiting while they 600+ curbstomp their opponents? Really? Are those doors too vicious for you to handle? Need more help with them?

Now, it would be bearable if people were actually honest and straight out admitted that they are in for the win, and will do whatever it takes (fun side note: The servers that get bandwagooned to by people who value the win most, also have the highest numbers of hackers on their sides. Remember BG when they first went up to T1 …).

However, all the sugary “community” sales pitch sounds exactly like that: The attempt by some win-hungry players to dress their selfishness into words that will attract others to ensure their own easy victory without having to fight.

I hope you all get what you deserve: Months and months of unbalanced and boring WvW.

Did not SF just tranfer to JQQ? However, joining a sugary “community” that had a sales pitch sounds exactly like an attempt by some win-hungry players to dress their selfishness into actions. So you want us to believe you went to JQQ to get back at SoS for looking to get EU coverage??? How could you leave your beloved SBI in the lurch, after such a solid post against recruitment? Why did you not do the same, and recruit people to SBI and have some server pride? /flip flop

They did. As did every other large guild on SBI. Right now all we have left is the militia. It was a three way server split with JQ/SoR/Kaening. We had a high population server, always packed. Outmanned in EB last night. Kinda wish they just killed transfers and didnt give a heads up.
