It has come to the point that as WvW has not received real updates since launch that we ourselves would not mind doing the testing.

I can appreciate that many people don’t like EotM, but don’t conflate a lack of updates that you personally like with a lack of updates. WvW has added a great deal of content and rewards over just the last calendar year.

Hopefully you will find more you like in future updates and we’ll continue to add to the game.

Hey Devon,
could you please look into the following issue some nice guy has brought up on reddit?

Thanks for your time.

Cant be avoided or helped unless they turn EoTM into regular a WvW matchup rather than everyone just being given a color.

As soon as people can hide behind anonymity they become kittens to other people. Its the First Law Of Internet.

With specific servers (ie regular WvW) at least you can call them out… and most people on their own server wouldnt be too happy either about spies. Of course its not impossible to do, but you get the idea.

wow just saw the reddit post, crazy how a guild would do that stuff just for K-training

I got excited thinking a developer had stumbled onto this forum again, but alas, no, someone just felt compelled to necro. Perhaps the forum software could be adjusted to remove that red icon from the thread once it’s been more than six months since the last developer post. Hell, make it a year.

I really honestly doubt WvW will EVER see new maps before the game mode just utterly dies and most people stop playing it. They can say it takes months and months to do it, but the game has been out 2 years, and we’ve been given 1 map that is more PvE than WvW. EotM has a lot of interesting potential mechanics (breakable bridges, etc) that will never be put into WvW. In the end, I can guess that WvW players will have to do with empty promises from devs saying they’re “working on stuff” and resign ourselves to the occasional update doing small patches and quality of life stuff, and a few more masteries… After 2 years they haven’t implemented some of the biggest wants/concerns from WvW people, such as a useful squad system/commander tag updates. WvW CDI’s have been a total bust, and it seems that even the devs have stopped responding to the forums for WvW (not PvE mind you…)

Absolutely disgraceful!

This totally goes against the games Rules of Conduct; but will we ever see anything done about it? Will any dev or mod ever read this post?! We all know the answer.

EOTM should have been in the PPT rotation from the start. Making it a special mape where there is no specific objective other than loot was a huge mistake.

Then if they wanted they could have made duplicated versions for people in queue, but at least you would have a choice.

Hope the devs can figure out a solution, but spies have been present on servers since WvW’s inception. What IS pretty lame though, is having members of the same guild on all three sides and coordinating with each other to do nothing but karma train. That’d be like a single mega-guild on all three servers in the same match-up coordinating to fix the match. It makes a mockery of WvW. >.>

I never quite knew how to respond to EotM. Nothing about what they do bothers me, yet they still bother me. After reading the reddit post for a while and contemplating, I realized what bothered me.

These people don’t run ktrains, spy, organize attacks/siege/defense for the joy of it – they do it to spite commanders they don’t like and zergs that don’t do what they want.

Essentially, this guild is filled with vindictive children that throw temper tantrums every time something doesn’t go the way they want it to. When anyone acts out of such spite toward other people, they’ll usually carry other negative features – it’s basically the horns effect. I find more negativity in them because the little they do act out on is negative.

If anyone else were actually doing what they were doing, though, I would imagine they were just playing EotM.

Where do I send pics of my chat log to? I got one of their commanders to admit to the match up manipulation. This is after I got told repeatedly in the last thread on this subject that it wasn’t happening and the reddit post and the post on their website where faked.

If that really was a guild post and not a troll posing it would have been removed by the poster by now.

Defending, no matter the game mode is very very unprofitable. When you can kill and flip a tower/keep over and over again for karma, champ bags, greens (the occasional rare or exotic) why bother defending and get next to nothing? This is especially pronounced in EotM where there isn’t even a PPT to keep your server from ending up in the toilet.

Until they nerf the loot and/or give bonuses to defending equivalent to zerging they will not fix the problem. Players will always choose the path of least resistance hence they will fix, spy or do just about anything for the best loot.
