Guild Wars 2

So I hear this term a lot these days. And to be completely honest, I don’t really know what it is.

Is it just spamming siege down?

Is it griefing when its an ally who does it?

Is it griefing if an enemy does it? Because awhile back (probably a year now), it was really popular for enemies to spam bali’s up on walls to prevent defenders from bulding proper siege/ac’s.

its wasting camp/keep supplies on building useless siege. If you ever seen a bunch of flame rams inside a keep, or any other large amount of siege that doesnt belong there its because of some troll. They will intentionally waste all supply and ruin it for everyone because they are miserable scumbags.

You can report it with screenshots, and hopefully anet will take action against them.

Ah, I’ve seen that plenty of times. Ty for the clarification.

How about when you’re trying to defend a keep that’s under attack, and a player does an upgrade? Is this keeping us from building defense sieges or is it keeping the enemy from getting supplies after its flipped?

Thats one tactic to deny supplies to enemies. It’s valid if your keep has upgraded supply and your definately going to lose it. One important thing to note, if your in a prolonged defense and an upgrade is almost complete, the last thing you want is for the supply to be drained, a completed upgrade can repair walls/gates so if someone is intentionally wasting supply during a defense and an upgrade is almost complete, thats something to watch out for.

A keep without supplies is a keep that will be constantly pushed, and usually by both enemies, so high supply count acts a lot like a deterant, which makes it very important never to dip below a certain amount. The key is always keep an eye on it, and mention to people when needed not to take supply if it gets low.

In addition to XTD’s excellent answer, siege trolls will also sometimes deliberately destroy their own server’s siege golems that are parked in Keeps/Citadels, usually by piloting the golem and then making the golem jump off a very high cliff.

thanks for the compliment

Or maaaybe they build alot of siege to get the achievement faster? wink * wink* ANet.

j/k ofcourse.

1) Wasting objective supplies on useless siege (usually within keeps).

2) Running golems off cliffs to destroy them.

3) Throwing ballistas or trebs down at a gate while a commander is throwing down rams (hoping people will build and waste supply on the wrong build sites).

4) Turning any properly placed siege in the opposite direction before an attack occurs.

5) Upgrading objectives in “the wrong order” to delay any effective upgrades to finish. This can also be used as a last ditch supply waste before the objective flips, but it’s easy to spot when it’s a troll doing it.

6) Spamming lots of weak siege in order to hard cap the map (usually this works with #1).

7) Jumping on a critical piece of siege with no intention of using it during an attack. Example: using a cannon or treb and standing idle so nobody can use it.

For a live demonstration, visit YB and stand near a depot. Any depot.

It doesn’t happen much anymore because nobody cares. Good.

Now we don’t have to spam CDIs about it when there are much more important things to discuss. Sadly, that whole CDI/talk-to-the-players thing seems to have disappeared with the griefers.
