Q:
Arrow indicating if upcaled removed?
Its just another step to make WvW casual for everyone, making it so that upscales can hide in zergs without being scoffed at. This is what Anet want WvW to become.
And yes, its stupid. Zerg commanders depend on the ability to judge how much they can push. Upscales are alot weaker than full 80.
This is only in regards to EotM tho right? People don’t play sub 80’s in regular WvW maps anymore do they? I mean, why would they when there’s EotM but I could be totally clueless. My inclination for anything EotM related is well . . . it is EotM & doesn’t matter.

I fail to see how the loss of the ability to scoff at uplevels is really a big loss at all. If people are really uplevels and not 80 by now, they’re probably new players as I imagine experienced players have many other resources to get to 80.
As for assessing the strength of your own group, I think voice comms and map chat would be sufficient enough. If most of the people aren’t in comms or seemingly looking at map chat, I would assume they are incompetent unless proven otherwise. Heck, I can just glance at the class and buff icons and look at their weapons and pretty much know what the composition can and cannot do. If you see a bearbow ranger with no food buffs and 3 signets, chances are it doesn’t matter if it’s an uplevel or not.
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

This needs to be fixed.
I run small man teams and if I see a much larger group but I see a few PUGS following us we might make a push on them but ONLY if our pugs are true lvl 80s.
Now, I can’t even tell. Uplevels are COMPLETELY useless in WvW and their only use is rallying the enemy when they instantly get downed. It’s lame.
Please fix this.
