Guild Wars 2

As a result of anet switching the linked servers between Jade Quarry and Dragonbrand, I fear the amount of loyal JQ trolls who will wreak on DB. It has already begun.

Dude….don’t worry about it. It’s lame but just have fun.

And meanwhile a JQ player fears the amount of havoc loyal DB trolls will wreak on JQ.

Honestly, just make spies/trolls work for you. If they’re sabotaging one particular tower/keep, you know there will be inc soon. If they run around a tower and not refresh siege, ditto.

Use them.

@Jayne…
Yes, you can use them as an indication of an impending attack.
But only if the sabotage is coming from an opponent waiting to attack.

It doesn’t work if its coming from trolls on your own server.
Or allies/ex-opponents that are harbouring somes sort of grudge.

And if it is from an opponent, well so what if some people like to cheat?
They should be pitied for needing such a crutch. For a game.
Which doesn’t pay out any reward (except maybe a self-aggrandising ego boost).

And if its trolls… when what can you do except ignore them.
Every server has them.
But if you let them know they are annoying you, they will only do it more.

As for grudges… well I doubt most people will bother with such unless it was a retaliatory action of some sort.
As a JQ player, I’m 100% not concerned about any such sabotage from our allies. Only from our opponents.

In fact, as a JQ player for many years, I have never witnessed any kind of sabotage while JQ was in T1.
And this even going as far back as in the days when SOR were there with us with BG.

It was only when we got to T2 that I notice this happening.
In fact not a week went by without seeing at least 1 such sabotage.
Nearly always followed by a attack from a zerg (personally I’ve only ever witnessed it during SEA/OCX time).
And so that’s how we learnt to use it to prepare for attacks.

But frankly, I don’t think the above is sabotage at all.
From all the sabotage I saw in the last few weeks in JQ, I doubt this was sabotage.
Because if you were going to sabotage, why use alphas at 37s (and which could actually be useful) when you can use rams (<1s), or ballista (30c).

I think the OP is just overreacting to another player’s differing opinion on supply usage.
Maybe its due to some unconscious manifestation of some inner guilt?
Maybe the other player was only going to make 1 or 2 golems, but didnt like the OP telling him off, and so he just built alot more?
Who knows?

You know what they say: What goes around will come around… Reap what you sow, etc etc…
So why worry… unless you actually play that way to begin with.

Without in game GMs, nothing will ever happen with trolls. I am not sure anything can be done about spies.

Even semi-abusive messages seems to be unchecked. The anti-gay map chat I read is sadly on a near daily basis. The abusive QQ I get from whispers is equally as hate filled with many derogatory references to race and religion. I am not PC but I would appreciate less hate speech and more general cussing.
