Just wanted to post a video of our guild 3 v 3’ing QQ’s 3 best players with only 1 of our best players in OS. I do want to say thanks for a good fight but I would be lying. It was kind of easy considering the average length of each 3 v 3 was 30 secs to 45 secs.
And a special shout out to Hadi for being so kind to “allow us” to spawn camp your guild. I didn’t realize we needed your permission. So kind of you to consider our feelings. . Maybe you should re take math class and count how many people you had at your spawn? And maybe you should include the rest of the video in which you got killed 3 times and you even tried to run back to spawn but got scorpion wired like a boss. . Enjoy your day Badi.

Oh qq guild…
I had one of their condi chrono run away from me after 45sec. Shame they didn’t know just how close I was to death with everything on cd. Yay me.

I think it’s safe to say nobody from the guild actually plays well, and either runs cheese or ganks like 3v1. Or both.
I closed the video almost immediately when realizing a condition build. Sorry, but I have pretty much zero respect at all for condition build players.
Ok. Whole video wasn’t even condition build though. But you’d never know that if you wasn’t so close minded.
I wasn’t, then I made a condi mesmer a few years ago and didn’t die after days of roaming. I tried again to not be. I then made a Daredevil and consistently started beating groups of 6+, and can pretty much win fights half-AFK against my guildmembers on it when in the guild area, which if I swap power they either put up a very good fight or win in many cases. Not closed-minded. I immediately associate condition builds with people who suck too much to play the game built power and can let their crutches give them free wins.
I don’t even care or feel the compulsion to care when I see someone putting up videos playing conditions in WvW lol.

I do like how you arbitrarily decide how the game should be played to pad your own ego. Good on ya.

Interestingly enough, condition players are the ones who decide how the game should be played by mandating the need for excessive cleanses and mathematically optimal stat configurations, and play the cheese to fuel their own egos by basically taking free-win FoTM builds.
I’m not deciding anything for anyone. But I guess having an opinion on how I see people makes my decision both arbitrary and ego-maniacal.
It’s not really an ego thing. I just don’t have respect for people who try and defend or play the builds, and don’t care to watch anyone in any sense play them at this point.
So I didn’t watch the video, and didn’t look to see the power play. Oh well.
Pretty dull video and overly one sided to be honest. The Dragonbrand guy was like Bart in the cupcake episode in The Simpsons (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pxG4yd8U3U).
Consider oneself as a “skilled player” if one’s opponents are similarly equipped. Don’t feed one’s ego and don’t assume that skill alone was the result of one’s win.
Not sure where the skill is in this video unless you mean weapon skills. Thief bunny hopping with bound randomly all over the place, and you’re a rat berserker running condi gun lame. I stopped the video at around 3 mins

Erm, the game is full of crutches both power and condi, or you think auto targeted skills, basically no resource management, relatively undemanding level of mechanical ability, etc make this game skillful, if you want skillful gaming why are you even playing GW2 or an MMORPG?

There’s a reason he plays power Thief. It’s one of the few classes/specs that forces interesting choices. To your exact point: the player is required to manage resources, predict/react quickly to interrupt/evade, mind game with stealth/mobility/blind, etc. It’s one of the few classes where your win-conditions constantly change based on who you’re fighting (both class and skill).
The only thing it really lacks is the typical MMO fare of CD management – which I have never found all that engaging. Is it fighting game level of mechanics/skill/prediction? Of course not. But it’s a lot more engaging than spamming 3 & Dodge as a condi D/D thief or mindlessly punching a rotation on another class.
Condi & bunker builds are for the most part incredibly forgiving and have a drastically friendlier skillfloor. Have you ever seen a bad D/D Condi Thief?

Not really, that some people think power thief is an example of “high skill” just shows how clueless the GW2 playerbase is, take interrupting as you mention that, look at steal, it is low skilled cheese that the game largely plays for you, you don’t need to aim because like many skills in GW2 it is autotargeted, then you add it is instant, then you have that it is long ranged, it is about as low skilled as you can get, typical GW2.

It can also be done mid-cast of another ability. I did not claim interrupting with steal requires much skill. Landing & interrupting with steal is Thief 101. It separates bad from good, not good from great.
I was referencing headshot, which is a high-risk high-reward ability. It has a notable animation & projectile time. It cannot reliably interrupt a <3/4s cast on reaction & must be predicted – unless you’ve got ungodly ping. It also costs a chunk of initiative & is only a 1/4s daze. If you’re not interrupting/proccing pulmonary impact, you’re wasting time and resources. Good headshot-usage is not straightforward and is a mindgame based on the opponent. Bad thieves waste initiative on it. Good thieves avoid it or feel happy about interrupting a 1s+ cast once a fight. Great thieves predict & shut people done with it – unless their opponent is even better with the mindgames & fake casts.
As an aside, I’m unclear on why you consistently bring up that abilities are “auto-targetted”. I agree that it’s a failing, but it’s the nature of the MMORPG platform. No GW2 class can claim their abilities require skill to place/land (unless we mean not being evaded/blocked/invuln/blinded).
Regardless, it’s not the only measure of skillcap. No one claims fighting games are low skill because you don’t have to do 360 no-scopes.
The smaller your group runs, the more hate it receives.
Because conditions start being relevant in smaller scale and everyone around here hate conditions because they don’t want to be forced to run condi cleanses since it affect their dps.
Oh these people call themselves skilled when they can’t even adapt killing condition builds… Pu-lease.

I might agree with your assessment of thief if they didn’t have the most mobility in the game and can thus escape and reset any fight at will. I have some respect for glassy builds that commit to fights or that when they know they won’t win kitten off somewhere else.
I have no respect for people who run till ooc and come back trying to land that large burst then repeat if not successful.

When i pull an ooc heal exploiter to a tower after 5 resets and they /laugh I don’t think they realise I’m not afraid of them I was just seeing if they were stupid enough to actually think I’m scared.

Which is why I play(ed, and now quit from the stealth ICD) D/D power, and why I’m kittened off that ANet killed the set’s power-build viability with the ICD on stealth attacks, since its only good skill is a high-committal backstab. I love fighting aggressively, but unfortunately Karl refuses to let the thief have those options. We’re left with non-committal spam-evade noskill Daredevil and similar condition builds on D/D, and the typical half-trying, stealth-camping D/P build we’ve seen for the past several years.
As others seem to be commenting about the OP’s video which I still haven’t watched, it sounds like it’s pretty standard fare from QQ; unimpressive gameplay typically just done by people with huge egos playing FoTM builds or gank groups.
You guys gank me all the time 6:1 and you were chasing me from sentry to sentry last night on my zerker necro lol
Reminds me of two nights ago. A thief from DPS guild on FA tried to gank me. Reaper 3->4->2 and he ended up being the one that got ganked. So funny. His Druid team mate that was trying to gank me at the same time then ran away.
Next night, DPS had 6-8 guys trying to gank – because they weren’t good enough to win 2v1. I lost that 6v1.

Yeah I’m taking a break from WvW entirely, too much of the stupid stuff running around like druids, DP runaway thieves, condi mesmers, berserkers in all their stupidity etc for my core mesmer to handle.
Interestingly though, I was saying to another forum thief a long time ago that backstab had no cool down only that revealed prevents it being used again so frequently. I think they could lower it to 1/2s cool down….or just make stealth a more engaging mechanic to play against now nearly everyone has stealth access.
Oh and don’t bother with the vid, it was about as skillful as a babies first face plant.
Oh qq guild…
I had one of their condi chrono run away from me after 45sec. Shame they didn’t know just how close I was to death with everything on cd. Yay me.
. Maybe you should re take math class and count how many people you had at your spawn? And maybe you should include the rest of the video in which you got killed 3 times and you even tried to run back to spawn but got scorpion wired like a boss. 
gratz.
