Guild Wars 2

today its clear that Yaks Bend and E-bay have an alliance. why not fight with honour, why cheat, i guess Ebay cant beat us in a fair fight so they cheat. shame on you Yak bend. SBI hold your head high we fight with honour.

Its not cheating, stop whining. I’m sure SBI is full of honorable soles that would never double team a server … not even when trying to push themselves into gold league …

Karma, it truly is OP.

You seem really emotionally attached to this issue, you should give roleplaying a go.

Look at the bright side. They can’t win you without teaming up.

explain to me how its not cheating? 35 Yaks Bend escorting 15 E-bay for a cap.

why not fight with honour, why cheat,

By “fight with honor”, do you mean please stop standing on your throat so that your fairweathers will come back, and then you can start ktraining through our borderlands again, planting a map-zerg in our inner garrison – not to cap it, but to farm us for as long as we will let you?

By “cheat”, do you mean please stop using the WvWvW 3 way mechanic as intended in order to allow 2 servers that are facing a 3rd server that is more populated and powerful, to be competitive score-wise and make that 3rd server work hard for it’s victory?

How about this, how about you spend less time on the forums crying about the fact that a server that you have previously beaten in league play by 200k (Yaks Bend), and a server that you have previously beaten in league play by 300k (Ehmry Bay) stood up and did something about it instead of just letting you kitten them, and spend more time in Lions Arch and /g chat trying to get all of those people who were so on board with SBI when the good times were rolling to come out and pay back the community for all that free karma, gold and wexp by putting in some effort in the hard times too.

How about that for showing some honor?

Because cheating is doing something unintended by mechanics, like healing a downed enemy. They did no such thing. They did things that the game allows, and Anet has stated the system was set up so that 2 servers could gang up on one if they were able to agree to. This is player tactics, stop QQing and bring your A game if you want to keep 2nd.

2v1 like a boss EBay and Yak’s … I’d even go so far as to send TC cheerleaders your way.

I remember when SoR and SBI were 2v1 SoS … 1 week or so prior to seasons.

Pin em till reset.

Sigh, in order for it to be cheating, it must be against the rules. It is not against the rules for two server to double team one therefore it is not cheating. I made it simple so you will understand.

You’re simply being focussed by the other two servers. By YB, because you are the biggest threat, and by Ebay because you’re the soft target. Your command and control failed at reset, allowing YB to keep your structures papered and offering Ebay a more inviting target than the sieged up tier3 keeps of YB with scouts present at all times.

Learn to protect what you have. Open with a Karma Train and you’ll find yourself on the backfoot against servers with populations large enough to contain you.

Coron Bale from TSym wrote an interesting article about grand strategy in WvW. Go read it.

As a final note, the patronising tone chosen by some SBI forumwarriors has done quite a bit to make SBI a high profile target. By all means, keep banging on with your conspiracy theories; It won’t help you improve as a server, however.

Just wait til next week SBI. DB and FA have already decided to team up and beat on you some more so let the tears begin.

Basically what I’m reading is that everyone knows everyone is cheating, but it’s okay because we all hate each other.

Edit: inb4 “not cheating:” I’m referring to second accounts building flame ram trains inside keeps, not teaming up. Teaming up is dirty, but not cheating as far as I can tell.
