Guild Wars 2

I often try to go the the EB JP and am unable to complete it because of campers. Not a new story, to say the least. While some people say, “Good there’s less defenders in the other parts of the world,” that’s not really what I am concerned about. Why is the JP there in the first place? There is no strategic advantage to holding the jp other than that if you are really good you get to farm your monthlies (by camping).

I’ll be honest, I’m just going there to farm badges anyways, and I could do that other places. However, often during the times that I play there aren’t enough people playing to farm them really at all. If I go to the jumping puzzle, I get more than 10 badges, whereas killing people nets very few over a much longer period of time.

I also don’t feel very honorable… or for that matter, that I’ve done much battle (Gift of Battle)…

Does anyone else share these sentiments? The Jumping puzzle is neat, but what we have here is a loathing of seeing other players, something Arenanet tries to avoid. I’m fine seeing other players on the battlefield, where I’m mean to earn my gift of Battle, but running up against a wall in the jumping puzzle isn’t any fun either.

It’s up to individual whether camping Jp is justifiable or not. For example last night, I meet a SF (not sure) thief and a engineer in ET BL Jp . That charr engineer was basically leading me through the jump( thanks man). But the asura thief try to kill me and fail miserably in the end with a flag in his face.
I personally will not attack any 1 there unless I am attacked.
I just want to finish it and get it over with( I am really bad at jumping.)

There is strategic advantage. Because JP in WvW offers blue prints. One golem worth 1 gold. It’s better to get them from JP than buying and it’s better to prevent enemy from getting it.
