Guild Wars 2

Huge population shift is a good thing.
The old meta is getting boring, and new meta rises.
That’s a progression if you ask me.
Only issue is the reward though.
Reward should be same all across the board so people won’t complain or suffer too much.

But we all know Anet will not make the reward equal because they MUST get all the $$ from those fair weather people for more income though.

Nothing good comes from seasons. WvW is awesomly unbalanced. I love that about it. The problem is when we are offered season rewards and anet tries to impose balance on the chaos. That is were I see the core problem.

Nothing will ever be balanced in WvW. I accepted this and play the game with my friends. I do not need some silly reward chest or ugly skin for coming out and rallying for my server.

Season one lead to more fights and bickering. Then massive tranfers to were the winning servers, which got cloged with fair weathers. There was even a post here on the WvW fourms where a player ask which server he should transfer to make sure that he got the max number of tickets.

While fights were good in season two…. the rest was just blah… Lets move on and just enjoy what we have and not do more damage.

It is a sad state that WvW has been reduced to. I do not suppose that it is unexpected. But for the love of all that is holy….please….no season three.

To be honest, I think Anet is waiting a few seasons to let this “rush to the winning server” thing fade away.

Some people will always “pay to win” by jumping servers, but most of us will eventually settle somwhere.

Long term I dont think this will be a problem. After all how many rushed to Blackgate this season, but Blackgate didnt win. Those people played a gambit and it didnt pay off.

This tourney is a complete farce. My reasonable hope for the inevitable next 10 of them is that they will reduce the runtime to a more palpable 4-5 weeks.

What I really want is a different objective other than points. Playing for points is the laziest way arenanet could have gone, but seeing as it’s amateur hour 24/7 over there with no hope of improvement, I’ll settle for the reduced runtime.

They reduced the variation in matchups a few months ago didnt they? Still not sure why they did that, only made it more stale.

What new meta?

The playstyle is still balling with a GWEN (mostly guardian/warrior). And the focus point to win is to have more people.
But now people have gotten to the point they are bypassing the queue system and just making cross-server alliances to have twice the numbers of the last server. But its ultimately still just “Stack to Win”.

The new meta is to forge alliances between servers to steamroll to #1 and #2 and use hacking, because there is virtually 0 game master support for gw2 atm due to china start and/or wildstar start.

It’s apparently the ONLY alliance that has taken down another server for a win.
.

Its not, there was 1 in S1 and at least 1 other in S2.

And now we’re at the point where no one even cares about score anymore because it’s a meaningless and hollow measure.

Except Tier 1, but nobody cares what they think because they feel anybody who isn’t playing for points is doing it wrong.

Don’t tell anyone from NA Silver League that no one cares about score any more.

IoJ, SBI, FA, YB and NSP are fighting tooth and nail for score. It’s actually great fun too. This has been two great weeks of WvW.

Fighting for score works and is fun when there is actually a chance that fighting for score will make a difference.
