Guild Wars 2

Hello all. I’m curious as to the benefits of zerging the old WvW maps over EoTM. I seem to get more of everything (chests, ranking, etc.) from doing EoTM. Am I missing something? I understand that some people prefer WvW for things such as world completion, server standing, roaming, and small group play, but I’m speaking from a pure zerg rewards standpoint here. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

EoTM has better rewards. That’s that.

You end up fighting people on tradition wvw more often than on EotM because there will be people comming back to defend their points, oposed to the karma train mentality (Let them take, so we can retake) of EotM.

Reward-wise, EotM is much more profitable if that’s what you’re wondering.

There isn’t any benefits. That’s why i don’t play normal www at all. Lame TS PVT zone blobs. EotM is about personal skill.

You’re really living your signature… That’s some really poor trolling.

For me,

WvW is about fighting better, dancing with a melee train, and then dropping a meteornado on their head and watching em drop. You’re pitted against other players who are trying almost everything they can to stop you, and you need to use misdirection and tactical opportunity to your advantage.

It’s incredibly satisfying to take advantage of a distraction, like a fight inside SMC to swoop in and paper a fully fortified tower that the enemy server spent hours defending and upgrading, especially if you’re outnumbered or “outskilled” by your opponent.

I’ll bait enemy servers into killboxes, and I have the satisfaction of tricking 50 players into filling my bags.

WvW is a place to practice your synergy between your players in an open environment against organized groups. For me it has absolutely nothing to do with who wins or who looses, but a place to practice your weaknesses and capitalize on your strengths in any way possible.

thx mango for this nugget ^^^^^

EoTM is a Karma train. In comparison, it’s MIND-NUMBINGLY boring. Once I was in EOTM for a whole 3 hour match. I was so bored at the end of it i actually had to take a nap. it was like 1 in the afternoon.
anyhwoo, thats my 2cents.

The mistake ANET made was even discussing EotM in the same sentence as WvW. They are completely different.

EotM
—This is a PvE map. You have a variety of more difficult NPCs to fight.
—Karma training. The rewards are much better here.
—Ganking. People use this map for farming or to level new characters. That makes roaming really easy since you can kill a lot of uplevels or PvE type people.

WvW
—Poor rewards
—More strategy
—More sense of community

EOTM is designed for guild groups to farm Ultimate Dominator titles off of upleveled karma trains so stupid that 90% of the mindless zombies in the 50 man blobs will CONTINUE SPAMMING 1 AT THE DOOR as they get slaughtered by a guild group a quarter of their size.

Until you run into a guild group from another server!

EotM is like zoo. You can go there watch all kind of weird creatures.
