Guild Wars 2

I think we need a thread of shame with pics of players doing this in wvw. It’s bad behavior and shows a real lack of respect to your server and the game’s community.
I’m on Yak’s Bend and got on to some players this week for doing this.
It would be nice if guild gm’s would kick and or demote members that get caught doing this.

I think spawn camping is fine as long as you don’t start building siege weapons.

God forbid people use the other exits…

Sssh. No-one must ever know of those. There’s definitely not two other paths leading out of every spawn. Definitely not.

This game does not have spawn camping, I wish people would stop crying about something fully within their control.

This is part of the game. It’s called a block. This has existed in many games as a tactic. DAoC we did this all the time and block the gates for reinforcements. It was awesome and the opposite team would often find ways to break through the “mile gates”. It made for a great Saturday night of war!

Spawn camping is just a symptom of other WvW imbalances.

Not really a balance issue. This has a little to do with the whole “losing team needs a comeback mechanic” issue (which I disagree with). The quickest fix for this is 2 fold:

1. Players need to stop getting butt-hurt and leaving a map when the chips are down. Morale is a quickly multiplying issue.
2. Use the other exits. Honestly unless I’m going to the tower directly, I will almost always take one of the side exits. It is just faster and runs past a supply camp.

But its annoying when its only one spawn point that works, the other ones have swords.

The other ones belong to the other servers (or are contested), so of course you can’t use them. There are multiple exits from each spawn so use one that isn’t being camped.
