Server rivalries
There is weirdness which is kind of a rivalry between TC and SoS because a major guild left TC and joined SoS. We in TC can’t help enjoying killing anyone we find from that guild, but it is bittersweet because we thought they were our friends. Lot of suspicion about spies and uneasiness when TC and SoS are matched up now.
So EP haven’t transferred back to TC with the end of the league?
Miranda Zero – Ele / Twitch Zero – Mes / Chargrin Soulboom – Engi
Aliera Zero – Guardian / Reaver Zero – Necro
No one’s allowed to transfer amongst servers ranked 4-9 until we see where we are balance wise. Its looking pretty good now.
After fighting just about every server it seems in Bronze tier, everyone goes after SF. I think they just want to test our mettle and I’m not entirely sure why.
SF just generates the most hate of all the bronze tiers, everybody likes to beat the “bad guy”.
The reason is that most servers accept defeat. As a whole when a server looses they tend to say internally, “Welp, we really need to improve X, Y, and Z.” Servers will begin to promote teamwork between guilds, community leaders will encourage PvE players to participate in WvW, and equally importantly the leaders will work to keep those players actively in WvW even when the going gets tough.
SF on the other hand always blames something that is outside of their control, and worse yet SF does it on the forums. “It’s Black Friday”, “It’s Thanksgiving”, “We don’t play for PPT”, etc. All of those are word for word direct quotes from ONE matchup. Other servers don’t dislike SF because you’re the “bad guy” they dislike SF because the vocal majority of SF players post on the forums giving excuses and being sore losers. This is not indicative of every player on your server, but it does reflect the overall image that your server creates for others to see.
Finally, before you get bent out of shape and post how I am just saying these things and attacking your character, I just want to let you know that I am looking at this as objectively as possible. Go look at your matchup threads and then look at other servers matchup threads. See how the tone that SF projects differs from the norm. Soon you will see it too. Even now, if you check the current SF matchup you claim that it is because you are getting double teamed… and even if that happens to be the case from time to time SF complains about it on the forums. The other popular excuse with SF right now is “We are burnt out from leagues”… as if every other server didn’t just play 7 weeks of league play.
Ahh I forgot all the other servers are perfect and no one makes excuses but us. Go look back at the last 7 weeks of match up threads starting with week one and suddenly you see a different story than the bullkitten you wrote here.

Most servers aren’t terribly whiny about their losses though. Look at Dh Vs HoD week 4, barely any whining occurred. In fact, multiple posts were made that ONLY complimented on HoD on their victory and how well deserved it was.
If it helps, you’re not the only server that is viewed as whiny in bronze lol, at least from a Dh perspective.

Saying “I do something good” does not mean you don’t do something bad. We compliment AND we don’t whine anywhere near as much. Big dif.

They asked I just answered… I figured they wouldn’t be able to handle the truth. However, While we are at it. DH you have improved immensely. I have really enjoyed this weeks match up. Look at how calm and mild our matchup thread is. Now consider how SF has had 3/7 threads closed. Could it be? Could SF be wrong?
There is weirdness which is kind of a rivalry between TC and SoS because a major guild left TC and joined SoS. We in TC can’t help enjoying killing anyone we find from that guild, but it is bittersweet because we thought they were our friends. Lot of suspicion about spies and uneasiness when TC and SoS are matched up now.
So EP haven’t transferred back to TC with the end of the league?
No. That would be the impossible reversal of a bad divorce.
well, there are those of us in TC who wish our friends were still friends, you know how that goes with divorce. We can’t trust them any more.
SFR and VS of course, an epic story
lol I think SFR have a rivalry with every server, they hate them all. They rarely say anything nice about anyone but themselves.

BG and SoRs rivalry is probably the most vocal one out there
Used to be. But alas, people haved moved on.
It’s hard to be a rivalry when one side clearly dominates the other.
Maybe some have moved on but I know my main motivation is killing BG. Always has been.
(edited by Aaron.4807)
HoD vs NSP/ET was the most entertaining one, IMO.
The 1 week at launch when they were T1 material, or the current one?
The Top server rivalries as of right now:
1. BG vs. SoR: They’ve been facing each other for almost a year straight. BG has had the upper hand more often than not; but SoR has remained in the fight until now.
2. TC vs FA: FA had the upper-hand at first then TC had a surge and became T1.5 and dominated FA for months. Now TC has lost a lot of it’s organization and FA got a 2nd infusion from IoJ. TC still has the staying power but FA can keep it close and possibly win if TC blinks.
3. SoS vs SBI: SoS has repeatedly rained on SBI’s parade. Destroying them and leading to their fall from T1, and later “breaking their fall” on SBI in T4. SBI is still looking strong after their huge recruitment surge, but no one knows how they’ll hold up against their long time nemesis until they meet again.
4. BP vs EB: These servers are mirror twins locked in combat. EB dominated for a 3 month stretch based upon their superior NA. Now BP has an advantage in their more diverse coverage; but with T4 in so much flux it’s impossible to know if it will stay that way.

look at our match up with HoD and you will see the same, NEXT
For the sake of fair perspective, I went back and read the matchup. What did I find? The entire first page was filled with SF complaining about game balance and throwing in the towel. And then you wonder why all of your casual WvW’ers abandon you. Its important to think about how a server projects itself in the public forums. You wondered why people dislike SF and don’t transfer there.
Furthermore the DH poster is correct. Look at the matchup threads where DH hit HoD or SF and lost then read the matchup thread where SF was against HoD or DH and lost. You will see what everyone else sees.
Keep in mind that I am not talking specifically about you, but rather I am speaking to SF as a whole. SF has a very vocal majority who complain, whine, and are sore losers. That’s the public perception, but it can certainly be changed. I suppose this is getting off topic now though, because we are talking about why most servers that play SF dont like SF rather than actual rivalries.

Yes so SF should be judged by 2 people that said something on a random matchup thread…
BTW no one on SF cares why you “dislike” them…The point stands on its own, no matter the reason, people like to beat the bad guys.
Also if you knew your kitten from a hole in the ground you could read the AR posts and Kaineng posts saying stuff like:
“SF is obviously taking a break”
“SF seems burntout”
The thing people like you never seem to understand about SF, is that it is not this big Warmachine full of mindless zerglings, it is really about 70-80 die-hard WvW’ers that keep fairweathers (what ET/FC used to call our “MZ”) interested enough in WvW to keep us afloat.
Transfer over for a week and then you would see, its the same few names every day at the same times that keep the ball rolling, the weeks where we do well it is because we have some help from our fairweathers, the weeks we do poorly (like this week) is because those core group of players are taking more time off WvW than normal.
Also, would anyone care to actually admit they do play this game for PPT? I mean I would love for someone to just bend over and ready themselves for that forum war….

Righteousness, I would say that it’s a stretch for anyone to pretend to be an authority on their own server, let alone someone else’s.
Back before I quit for about 5 months DB had a pretty good rivalry going with FA/TC, but things quieted down while I was gone.
All in all it’s more enjoyable now and DB feels more “together” than we did back then. I still miss you TC guys though /wave
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
2. TC vs FA: FA had the upper-hand at first then TC had a surge and became T1.5 and dominated FA for months. Now TC has lost a lot of it’s organization and FA got a 2nd infusion from IoJ. TC still has the staying power but FA can keep it close and possibly win if TC blinks.
Just to clarify, the rivalry began long before FA got its first infusion of IoJ players (TC vs. FA vs. YB is when it started), and from memory FA only beat TC once or twice (out of twenty something matchups). Other than that I’m pretty sure you’re spot on.
