Guild Wars 2

While you are spilling all these truths about JQ, please tell us exactly how much you pay for guilds to transfer and why you need to stack so hard.

Every once in a while we’ve seen a small group of SoR, but 9 times out of 10 they run at the sight of any enemies in a group of 3+, no matter what numbers they have.

It’s because in T1 you rarely see a small group outside of the Ruins, and they are usually the advance group of an incoming zerg.

I don’t see it as a criticism of T1; but it’s different than the game is played in T2 and lower. Running away from inferior numbers is seen as waving the “I suck” flag in lower tiered matches, while in T1 in means (I better get back to the zerg since I’m running my meta build).

The simple fact is that you need a higher level of skill in lower tiers to be successful (notice I didn’t say win, I’m talking about you and your guild having an enjoyable experience).
Numerous times in the match against SoR I have died easier than I should have, because I’m used to having skills work on demand. I go to hold a spot with my guild and we get ran over because our stability skills have a 5 second delay due to lag.

There is light years of difference when fighting SoR, from fighting TC or DB (before the implosion) where you had to pop your skills with the utmost timing.

When facing a T1, it’s a matter of numbers + numbers running appropriate gear. In lower tiers we’re still bringing our populations into WvW (instead of buying talent, we build it) and helping them break free of preconceptions and to ditch their zerker gear.

I think everyone should experience T1 once, and then decide if they are happier being a zergling (or at least getting better GvGs); or if they are comfortable taking a more central role in their server’s successes and failures.

This thread is funny.

The only real difference between T1 servers and lower tiers is around-the-clock WvW population.

Have you seen any T1 zergs? The avg SoR zerg is triple the size of anything I’ve seen YB run.
