Guild Wars 2

-BL still gives an unfair advantage to higher population servers (i.e. more ppl available to get and protect it EVEN in tier 1!)
-These servers tend to be the strongest anyway
-There is an unfair disadvantage for small groups (taking only a camp takes longer)
-There is an unfair advantage while 1 vs 1
-Blood lust does not decrease blobbing
-It is really, really boring to run in a circle!
-It makes you rely on other players thinking when you try to get it – most frustrating thing ever!
-Isn’t there a better thing to do with these ruins? I’d actually prefer if they would bring points as long as they are claimed, to make it more interesting for fights/ small scale roaming. Atm it is just boring.

What is the reason for BL!?

WvWvW isn’t about “fairness” nor is it about 1v1. This has been stated by devs for a long time already. The fair pvp is in spvp, the 1v1 are in duel servers.. If you find it boring don’t go there, simple as that. I personally go to ruins when i solo roam to find smaller fights.

It is about “fun” and unfairness is not “fun”. I play WvW since the start, I ONLY play WvW, but with BL, queues, achs, lag, blobbing and whatnot there is not much for me to do anymore. And the worst thing is, it was working great before. Sorry for QQ, but it is frustrating!

Oh, i’ts frustrating for sure. If the ques/achs/lag/blobbibg was not a factor BL would be a minor thing at best tbh. I loved the way wvw was at launch much more than now(which btw had BL that was removed only because people where hacking)

I know, but for me BL is also contributing to the lag (maybe I’m wrong, but the server has more to load, no?). I don’t see a way to remove blobbing, but now being outblobbed and outBLed is making it worse for me. I appreciate that Anet takes a look at WvW, but please be a bit more creative! Either make BL a more attainable goal (i.e. giving points while a ruin is coloured, so ppl actually fight over it and make it more interesting) or make it a less attainable goal, so it doesn’t have a big impact on gameplay. Atm it is just boring (i.e. I am running after a blob on the ruins to reset a ruin OR I am getting overrun there).

Again, all an expression of my frustration. Maybe talk to the community BEFORE implementing changes? The WvW overflow map is a step in the right direction.

I would prefer the blood lust offer points per stomp, the previous version, and give up stats completely.

I enjoyed that part of the previous version the most.
