Only a WvW player cries a little on the inside when they are in EB, defending their garrison with their lives, calling for help and sees someone in Team chat ask “Hey is there a mesmer who can portal me in the jumping puzzle?”

Only a WvW player will say that Confusion is a good condition.

Only a WvW player is constantly on the look-out for orange swords while on a pve map.

Only a WvWer thinks PvE mobs drop nothing because there’s no loot bags.

Only a WvWer knows what it’s like to try running through the wrong color door on reset night. Repeatedly. Wondering why the guards are attacking.

Hengis.5417:

Only a WvW player keeps refershing MOS Matchups whilst at work!

Only a WvW player refrehes the MOS matchups, their current game thread, their community forum, and this thread .. over and over and over again!

Only a WvW player is confused by why no loot bags drop at their feet when guildies drag them to PvE.

Rinzler.8072:

Only a WvW player will build a ram in the middle of nowhere to worship it

Or, as another player once posted in a discussion about the difficulties of teaching noobs to WvW-

Give a man a ram, and he’ll deploy it on a road.
Teach a man to ram, and… well sometimes he’ll still deploy it on a road, but at least now he paid for the ram and not you.

MarkusParkus.8467:

Reset night doesn’t have to exclude epic drinking

Father Busho.2796:

Only a WvW player would deem climbing or failing to climb the tower in Blue Keep Valley just to build a treb/cata that few can reach worthwhile.

Only a WvW player would repeatedly attempt to seize that tower from the enemy camping it with just one guardian at his side.

(Much respect to the enemy guardian who bubbled me off twice before I got a friend to give me aegis)

moirweyn.9872:

Unfortunately it isn’t anything as exciting as Frog on the move. It stands for Fractals of the Mists.

Only a WVW player logs in before work just to check that “we still have SM”

Only a WvW player know’s the pleasures/pains of scorpion wire in jumping puzzles

On the zhaitan note, I legitimately have no idea what/who it is. I remember fighting some giant eyeball in story mode called “Zhaitan’s Eye” but that’s as far as I know. I’m guessing he’s the main boss in the PvE game or something?!?

“variety kill achievement” … Ç_Ç i missed my daily yesterday cause i forgot to shoot at 1 random mob Ç_Ç wanna die…

only a WvW player actually cares on which server he plays on, lol

Only a wvw player knows that both their server’s honour and community status are not resolved on a postage-stamp sized, instanced map or how many dungeons you run.

Only a wvw player already knows before anyone else, that once the practical activities of character equipment and levels are completed, that there is only the remaining challenge of mastering warfare against thinking opponents. Which is without end.

Only a wvw player knows what it’s like to spend hours sitting behind a dolyaks rear end.

Zhaitan is a lie!! It is a trick to lure hardcore WvWer into trying PvE! Don’t fall for it!!!
