MAG, TC and SBI are the new Tier 2.

They can all expect beating from each other and a real beating from Tier 1 in Gold league.

SoS will will be Tier 2.5 and really catch it on the chin.

As it stands right now, FA is probably better off in Silver.

Other than RQ(who bandwagonned to JQ) the majority of players and guilds that left FA went to smaller servers, looking for better non-blobby fights.

FA has lost and gain some in the past few weeks. The aggregate numbers are probably about the same…although our coverage has changed.

A lot of us wanted to stay in Gold so we could farm BG, SoR, JQ and TC…but it just wasn’t to be with SoS and SBI gaining glicko due to favorable rng matchups.

No biggies we are fine, and if its red its dead.

Uh, SoS has beaten Mag in every matchup and have only gained numbers since our last encounter.
FA-SoS-SBI-Mag make up the true Tier 2 class servers and TC is 1.5 (they have the numbers, but not the organization).

SoS hasn’t played MAG in 5 weeks.

Only three weeks ago FA beat SoS…now MAG is owning us.

I would guess that if you face MAG while facing a Tier 1, then your Oceanic/Sea will be nullified and Mag will beat you.

They may be able to beat you anyways…Time will tell.

The thread is called “Last Spot in Gold League.” It’s the very definition of a theorycrafting thread and speculation about SBI’s internal workings and states of mind is actually one of the key components to the topic.

It was the only question left going into this match and it remains the only question giving the conflicting responses by members of your server.

You might not have aimed to make this about SBI, but unfortunately it’s the only thing left to talk about in this topic as the rest is settled.
Besides, this will be a dead topic in 48 hours so don’t get your feathers ruffled.

Either you’ll be in the same shatpile as the rest of T2 or you’ll be in T3 and can catch up on your candycorn collecting.

This is true. One change though: TC does not have the numbers nor the organization for T1, but are definitely stronger than the other 4 servers you mentioned.

Agreed. TC is 1.5 with no real equals. SoS and SBI are solid T2, main requirement being fairly consistent coverage. While Mag and FA are Tier 2.5. Mag because bipolar coverage and FA, the oldschool T2 underdog that has gradually lost players.

FA has taken things on the chin. They’ll be tougher after some Silver League R&R
Maguuma also tends to intentionally sandbag a little, not playing much on the weekends.
I think if such a thing as a four-way match could happen and if all were rested and raring to go that you’d see a pretty even score at the end.

I’d almost argue that SBI is more 2.5 then tier 2. I honestly think a match up that had been SoS/Mag/SBI would have been different then one with a non existant FA. I think we did do a good job of keeping the PPT in our favor but most fights went in favor of mag.

Its really unfortunate that we basically have one balanced bracket and that being tier 1. TC is in its own, and then maybe Mag/SoS pretty equal.

Me and my guildmates do not care at all if SBI goes Gold or Silver. It is of little importance, we will just do our best. The content of the end chest will probably be of small value considering the time invested.

A Guild vs Guild league would have been entirely possible and obviously well balanced, but instead we get this WvW months-long leagues with servers that have different population and interests. It’s hard to understand sometimes what Anet is trying to do.

1. 1-3. No one can compete with these servers. We don’t need a league to tell us that.
2. 4-12:
3. 13-21
4. 22-24

Best would be

1-3
4-9
10-15
16-24

10 – 15 would be the most competitive grouping, and doesn’t belong with the few just missing gold. Every server in that tier would compete except NS, who would be needed as a 6th team for rotation purposes.

And maybe you make another 3 and a 6 out of the last 9 as well.

Where did SBI say they were going to beat you? Or do you mean 1 person who happens to be on SBI? Lol.

Plenty of SBI folk aren’t turning out to WvW this week. Whether that is to intentionally drop down to Silver or just because they don’t like being roflstomped in PPT, you’d have to ask them. Probably both.

FA SoS SBI and Mags are all really close and any could win against each other at depending on who else is in the matchup, real-life events and so on.

Last time FA finished ahead of SoS by about 3K, and this time I think SoS will finish ahead of SBI by about the same. But that type of margin is pretty meaningless really.

SoS has managed to deal with the SoR oceanic time (and NA as well) pretty OK. It will be interesting to see how Mags handles the “T1” NA.

Sure Mags could beat us. But they can’t do it by talking about it. As stated above Mags has NEVER finished ahead of SoS in ANY matchup since the game started. I am looking forward to the time when that happens.

Personally I’m going to be disappointed with FA not in gold league. FA has some really strong oceanic guilds which I like playing against (Unreal Aussies is one I know), more than Mags or SBI. I remember one matchup especially a few weeks back with all the FA/TC/SoS oceanics out every night being pretty awesome.

I agree, the last match with TC was more fun than the ppt suggested and I think any t2 match ups would be interesting now that TC has lost some of their numbers. If we could teach FA and SBI to 2v1 we could have some excellent scraps with TC and I think they would have a fun time as well.

Not sure why anyone is talking about PPT (the distribution was already clear after reset night), the fact is when you’re facing 2-3x your numbers consistently, the militia is going to be demoralized. The more WvW centric guilds are still turning up though. Last night there was a group running around EB to cap SoR’s T3 towers, that was fun. (They then proceeded to roll over us, but still)

I don’t care how strong the SoS oceanic is. You don’t make a T2 server off the backs of Oceanic coverage alone. SoS might not have the same NA numbers as other T1 and T2 servers but they definitely pull their weight. Find some other excuse to inflate your ego after losing to SoS, trashing the NA of SoS is petty and clkitten.

FA must have all rolled warriors and guardians, they are the tankiest server in the game. Apparently SBI has a bunch of tanks as well, on the bright side for SBI, that will likely hold off their implosion for seven more weeks.

The real winner her is the person who came up with leagues. Prior to leagues T2 was relatively stable. In a few short weeks after the announcement of leagues DB imploded and it looks like FA either tanked their way down or lost a lot of people (or both) despite being one of the most stable servers in the game prior to leagues. A low ranking server scavenged a bunch of guilds and opportunists together to create an unstable alliance of match manipulators, pushing their way to the top of silver league… and stopping there to be rewarded for their match manipulating efforts. Three servers in gold league will be destroyed for seven weeks straight, battering the morale of the players on the server and wearing down their desire to play (there is a difference between losing a match and playing a T1 server without T1 coverage or numbers) and they will get rewarded less than the servers who tanked their way into silver or cannibalised servers to remain in T1. JQ (and the other T1 servers) cannibalised lower ranked servers of their guilds in another desperate attempt to botox away their wrinkles and tuck their tummys so that people will still think they are the beauty queen’s of Tyria.

A whole lot of destruction and warfare went on and yet very little of it happened in WvW. The marketing and promotion for DAoC type arenas doesn’t accurately represent the format, a lot more focus needs to be put on recruiting and server implosions. That’s where the real battle is fought.

I’m split on a few things.

I would relish nothing more than SBI’s bandwagon making gold and then spectacularly imploding, but not at the expense of Maguuma being put in silver. Not at the expense of SoS either, I do enjoy fighting them too, and they absolutely deserve gold league above SBI.

At this point Mag has been slowly climbing in ratings above SBI, which goes to show which server has a community more stable on their decision to tank or to fight

It’s pretty much a done deal at this point. You guys on Maguuma clearly want it more, and SBI has so many factions pulling in all directions that there is no clear goal over there; and they are losing points because of it. At the current trajectory, SoS will overtake them since we take points from SoR while they try to take from us (Whether or not you play for PPT, it’s important to know how it works).

Do you ever stop theorycrafting and wondering what other servers are doing and just play the game? Seriously… just shut up…
You’re so obsessed with the inner workings of every server that it’s sad. Get a life.
It has nothing to do with tanking or playing… people aren’t showing up because we can’t hold anything when all our keeps and towers are paper and SoR has map blobs running around. It’s pointless/boring/stupid.
Maguuma is playing against nobody. It’s not that they want it more. FA is a shadow of their former self and CD is rank 13…
This is what WvW is these days… you’re either getting rolled, or you do the rolling.
The only server we’ve lost to since August is SoR. I don’t think we’re doing so bad.
We’re fine. Worry about yourself.

You sound a little mad.

If Mags indeed gets to gold league, they’ll have plenty if chances to take down SoS. We’ll be seeing a lot of each other.

I suspect long-timers like Bannok and some of the more enthusiastic new comers like Andrew would be fine in Gold.
However the rank and file on SBI seem very down on it, to the point where you have multiple posters coming onto the official forums and protesting strongly.

We’ve been honest on SoS that silver league would be a lot easier on us, but we also accept that as the #5 server that we are truly the #5 server. We rather fight and lose, than just give up for a finisher that will probably be visibly different than the Gold one.

There is a plus to that, every time you get spiked by that you face the fact you got spiked by someone who REALLY wanted it LOL

FA-SoS-SBI-Mag make up the true Tier 2 class servers and TC is 1.5 (they have the numbers, but not the organization).

Considering SBI beat Mag and FA, it is kind of wierd that you would say that we aren’t a t2 server. We are also having an interesting battle for 2nd place this week with SoS. So, I would have to say that we are all t2.

Gap between SBI and SoS is closing. Cmon SBI you said you were going to beat us, at this rate we’ll be second. Please don’t tell me you are trying to minimize the difference like this just so you can sink into silver?

Cause SoR is only interested in us. When we take the fight to your BL, SoR comes there, fights us, while you are taking our BL.

When we take the fight to SoR BL, we knock their ppt down to the low 300s, high 200s, but they attack our BL at the same time, while SoS gets to paint their own BL red and not have to worry about anything.

So, yeah, that is what happens during the night, in NA. But, if SoR decides to keep working on their Halloween stuff for the rest of the matchup, and we take your gari and hills like last night, while painting our BL blue, and taking almost all your EB, then yeah…we can win the battle for 2nd.

A good battle it is

As I write this now, at 8:32 pm, est, we have knocked your 1.6k lead down to 200 points.

It has been a great week all around, and it is sad that we will be in silver.

CORE just transferred to FA and is currently running a fairly large zerg so will likely keep mag’s ppt down tonight – if they stay up a few more hours they can probably start taking everything. Depending if SoR just goes into a karma train mode SBI still has a chance for gold.

I agree. Mag’s oceanic and SEA timezone is so absent that we were +600 even before I could log on at about 7:30PM Sydney time. Wasn’t much left to do except chase the odd supply camp to try and get to +695.

Exactly, its like two ships passing in the night, because that is how boring NA hours were.

Sure Mags could beat us. But they can’t do it by talking about it. As stated above Mags has NEVER finished ahead of SoS in ANY matchup since the game started. I am looking forward to the time when that happens.

To be clear I doubt anyone in Mag gives a crap about beating SoS. Your NA is boring to fight against, that is pretty much all that matters.

Ya as a NA SoS player WvW is incredibly boring if i do anything outside of roaming. Most players/commanders I have tried running under are doing the same thing I saw them doing 3-5 months ago when i took a break from gw2. Guilds also seem to form clicks on this server so the overall server working together doesn’t really happen to often(it does and we use our TS sometimes but their is a lot hate out there). Who knows though we have gotten some new NA guilds in the past few weeks and they do have some fun players to roam with.

CORE just transferred to FA and is currently running a fairly large zerg so will likely keep mag’s ppt down tonight – if they stay up a few more hours they can probably start taking everything. Depending if SoR just goes into a karma train mode SBI still has a chance for gold.

I reckon FA has a good chance to overtake Mags and SBI.

Rating difference between FA and Mags is less than 8 points at the moment with FA currently ticking +630 ppt.

You all do a very good job at working together to save your garrison.

I don’t care how strong the SoS oceanic is. You don’t make a T2 server off the backs of Oceanic coverage alone.

You’re wrong: http://i.imgur.com/W5oXFrc.png

lol indeed correct you can be t2 based on oceanic alone. it just makes for a terrible week as a server fights with its stongest time against its opponents weakest.

SoS has excellent NA guilds, as well as great EU and SEA people. We have not made “T2” based solely on our oceanic timezone.

If Mags indeed gets to gold league, they’ll have plenty if chances to take down SoS. We’ll be seeing a lot of each other.

lol, you sound like one of those dragonbrand players that used to swear up and down that they didn’t ride into t2 on the backs of their SEA population.

SoS was T5 at the start of one week matches, with guilds like MERC still there and everything.
It’s because we do have good folks in the EU and NA times that allows our Oceanic and SEA folks the chance to increase the score.
Also, SoS always had our Oceanic presence, since BWEs; so why is this still such a source of constant surprise to people like you?

Unlikely at this point. Closing a 5k gap will require FA to keep ticking around 400+. FA will likely have to come near Mags weekly score to keep from dropping to 7 or 8. This also assumes SBI cannot dig out any more points.

Right now, too close to call between SBI and Mag so one server is likely to crush it will the other is likely going to get crushed.

I think SoR wants SBI to stay in Gold League. Before they were just karma training and flipping anything but now SBI seems to get to keep their stuff and SoS stuff gets targeted. by both. SoR hand holding SBI into gold league. lols. Maybe they think that Mag/FA’s guilds will transfer to T1 looking for competition if they get left in silver and further stack the top servers.

I think it is mainly that is SBI is on SoS BL, then SoR is gonna be there. They have followed us all week long. Plus, with all 3 servers on the battlefield, you get better fights. SoR doesn’t need PPT anymore this week, and they are just looking for fights, and to have fun, for the most part.

You keep telling yourself that.
It’s more likely they think your newer guilds won’t be able to take the heat and hope to poach them before, after, or maybe even during the season.

Like I said in our match thread, prove them wrong

Our BL is pretty green now, so what is this 2v1 you are talking about?
