Guild Wars 2

Over the past week, the jumping puzzle has been occupied by countless Gates of Madness trolls (mostly individual guilds), who have taken the time to build arrow carts and other equipment on top of the arena. I know it is not just GoM which does this…all servers in WvW have probably done something similar, and that’s fine.

What’s not fine is how many of these trolls are on for pretty much the entire day, killing any and everyone coming near, mainly due to the success of arrow carts.
No one has come close to taking them down, even with Anvil Rock and Borlis Pass personnel teaming up to try to at least get halfway to the top of the arena.

Is it a problem which can be stopped permanently? No.
Can it be toned down so at least some of us can finish the jumping puzzle? Maybe.

I don’t know if it is possible to remove siege equipment from the jumping puzzle all together as it is not a separate instance, but that would be a start. Just think, people at the top already have the chains to pull, and skills like scorpion wire to troll and take care of enemies. It would be more enjoyable if people had a chance to get to the top vs getting killed in 5 seconds with an arrow cart.

As far as other solutions, I have no idea. Maybe there is not a solution. But I know one thing:

Stuff like this can be fun for a while, but after dealing with it constantly, I want it to go.

Any ideas, suggestions, feedback?

there are ways around it, do a forum search before making a new thread when there has been probably a hundred threads crying about campers already.

infact theres a thread on the first page talking about one out of many ways to get around campers. look with your eyes.

They just need to remove siege weapons from the jumping puzzle, it makes no sense why they are even in there in the first place, apart from lazy programming.

Only works if you have the mad king back piece as a lighting source to get through the dark room. Also lag dictates that the arrow traps you roll through will inevitably hit you any way.
