On JQ…..since patch, each BL is now just “jump in the zerg and follow for WXP”….zergs rarely fight other zergs….just trade towers/camps/keeps over and over now for WXP….no real fights even…just run in a big circle opposite or ahead of the other enemy zergs. It reminds me of almost how bad Star Wars (SWTOR) got with players trading “tank kills” in “world pvp”.

Was this really the big WvW “fix” patch that Anet intended?

(*and yes, I already hit WvW rank 4 just doing NOTHING but riding the zerg)

It’s boring. People are doing it now because WXP is new and exciting but eventually they will get back to playing the game to win.

Um, sounds like normal wvw gameplay to me. Most zergs dont actively seek out other zergs to fight unless they are trying to keep them from taking a specific Tower or Keep.

And then its not specifically zerg vs zerg, its more offense vs defense.

You seriously qqing over this? Its nothing new since WVW stared your just seeing more people out in WVW now. Its the same BS .. zerg towers and camps in a clock or counter clock wise circle and rack up Xp and Karma. NOTHING NEW HERE!!!. I would be happy if they added soem kinda WVW chest or Rewards for coming in first /2nd and 3rd , but they added a useless ranking system. Well I gues its cool it gets people in WVW for a week or 2 before the dumb ones figure out its the same BS and quit again.

Yep, after the patch it is even worse. Tonight I was in a tower chillin and watched our servers zerg pass an enemy zerg 3x both on the way to the tower the other had just taken. They ignored each other and went to the towers to get their precious XP and karma.

It is laughable

When someone uses the word ‘Meta’, a kitten dies. Don’t do it.

People that are taking advantage of this now are really smart. They’ll get all those new bonuses and be extra prepared for future fights.
