Guild Wars 2

I’m a recent GoM ship jumper, and I’ll tell you why. It wasn’t just the terrible WvW experience. (and yes it was bad. Too many casual WvW players means its a ghost town when we start to loose.) The minute anyone had a reasonable order 3 other people would start kittening and infighting. Commanders just led huge zerg tours on the map with no real point. As soon as we capped something the zerg would leave it totally undefended and un upgraded. And worst of all, you are instantly branded a cheater with a bullseye on your back.

The plain old PvE experience is terrible also. The chat is so infantile and offensive its probably the worst I have seen on any MMO I have played. I can’t tell you how many times I just closed the chat window because I was tired of people spamming LFG for X dungeaon. And not the normal once every 5 minutes or so I see on my new server. It was like 15 times copy pasted in a row back to back. The map chat was like reading a bad thread from 4chan.

The chinese gold sellers OWN the server. Chat is constantly spammed with gold sellers and I usually got 1-5 spam emails per night. The Botting was so ridiculous certain areas were just covered in bots. And the skill points were CONSTANTLY BROKEN like 5 seconds after reset. I’m not sure if people did it on purpose or just trolling.

Now I’m sure people are going to say “But EVERY server has those problems”. And I will say, yes its true, BUT GoM has it WAY WORSE than a lot.
Suffice to say, I’m way happier on my new server. I’ve been there a week and haven’t got even a single gold spam email.

GOM isn’t way worse in any of those aspects. I didn’t have any issue in PvE with spam or map chat. The WvW was certainly bad but honestly it’s mostly due to all of the more serious WvW players jumping ship in the last few weeks. The one thing that irked me the most in WvW was the one commander leading a garrison assualt, breaking a gate down, then leaving to defend a tower we could easily re-take after the garrison. Of course the assault failed then they(commanders guild) blamed everyone else. That happened twice actually.

I’ve been on a few servers over the past week and none are worse for really anything. Bots are rampant on all servers. Map chat is generally fine. Gold seller emails really depend on how often you go to lionsguard(pretty sure the bot scans the area for people to send mails to). As much as I think GOM is a sinking ship as far as WvW goes, otherwise it is a fine server.

“I’ve been on a few servers over the past week”

…I’m sure there’s a rational explanation for that.

GoM sure did not die out. But thank you for leaving the server. Gates of Badness in the lead, but it must be a mistake.

TBH i am somewhat impressed, i imagined GoM eventually going up against Kaineng. Might have something to do with GoM being dropped down 4 places to fight lower population servers. Kind of sad, rank 16-18 is an entire losers bracket, enjoy your stay.

Funny the first two days we wide spread orb hacking took place, (with all the GoM players defending them) then to read this thread, and see it is nothing new. ?
