How do the high tier servers win their weekly WvW match ups? I am currently on a pretty low ranking server, that has typically lost every match up. Just recently we started to catch some fire, but I mostly feel that is due to the fact that we got paired against other low ranked servers lol.

This is how they are currently doing it: All three servers hold their own battle grounds, no one really steps foot in anyone elses, except maybe to take a small camp or something. They just fight over EB all day and night. However, my server lately has been owning nearly all of EB as well.

I suggested we move to another battle ground, and my server went into an up roar, even calling me a troll and telling everyone to ban me. I was like seriously.. we are currently in the lead, lets roll their battle grounds and make it that much easier.

I guess my real question is: Is it better to just sit in EB holding the majority, or is it better to take over other BG as well, what do high tier servers do?

We fight everywhere.

Edit:

Sun Tzu said, “Fight the enemy where they aren’t”. That’s a bit of paraphrase, but in GW2 terms, if they are all in EB, go to their BL.

In answer to your question each borderland is basically a 3 way like EB with an advantage going to the home server. When each server has the numbers to queue EB nearly 24/7 plus 1 or 2 borderlands at any one time the borderlands become very multi coloured . As to what wins matchups it mostly comes down to numbers and coverage. Don’t see why they are calling you a troll . If you have the numbers to lock down your borderlands plus EB you should be able to make some advances into there lands. Hope that helps abit

For whatever reason they think I am just after 100%, which yes I would not mind getting my star, but I have been in WvW every night for the past 2 weeks helping out, glad to know how quickly your server will turn on you if you dont go with their flow lol.

To win the week you first of all must own your own borderland, so learn to play defense.

You also need to own your own corner of the Eternal Battleground and the various towers, keep and supply points are closely interlocked. Learn to use the sight lines and place siege material to defend your own corner of the Eternal Battleground.

Here comes the push, to the win. You can win the week by owning all of the Eternal Battleground, or by owning one other borderland. Either way, you’ll have to defend those places too, and show no mercy about it.

Make no mistake, zerging is not a defensive move. Playing defense is something else and doesn’t come naturally to most players because it’s easier to run with the zerg.

I hope that helps.
