Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I wonder if this is a good way to talk to the community of your server because normally i just fight in WvW and i follow some random commander, then i see him/her making a mistake and because we all died after that.. i and maybe i shouldnt do that but, i talk into map chat and say stuff like EX. “Ahh that was bad lol, you should try to build catapults there!” What actually maybe good work but..

Then that person complete freaks out calling me a noob and that i must learn to fight and i better listen to him/her. I mean lol? I am not in these person’s guild and im just trying to give them tips on how they could try it.

Now i see alot of hate towards me while i always try my best doing my thing in WvW and supporting that big guild in every fight i see, some people are still mature and whisper me with “You was right man, that could be better” but because its a big guild now alot of people comment on every lame joke i make or any help i ask with like.. omg him again / Guys block him / Ignore him guys.

I mean come on, im not in your guild but i am in your server, im just trying to help here. Now people randomly blocking me, because their boss asks for it.

Whos wrong in here?

There are 2 cases:

1) the commander is doing something wrong that could be done better → your’re right
2) the commander is doing something strange instead of defending the tower/keep/SM → there may be bigger plans in act, so you are wrong.

“Ahh that was bad lol, you should try to build catapults there!”

You are doing it wrong.

If you are making suggestions you could leave out the trolling that I bolded. If you act like a troll in chat you are going to get trolled.

Some guilds have big egos. There’s no getting around this. Just try to explain the situation as best you can.

If they make jokes to you, or ignore you then they are part of a problem. There is no “pro” in this game everyone gets schooled at some point. Hopefully when it happens you pick yourself up and go “wow, I got schooled. I won’t make that mistake again.”

Just make sure when you question something they did do it in a non-threatening way. Often times I have used /whisper to the commander instead to save them some embarrassment.

Well i didnt ment any harm at all when i said "Ahh that was bad lol " but yea its an ego thing.. if you dont agree with them, they dont like you.. but telling other players to block me is a bit harsh in my eyes.

You may not have meant anything by it but that is how it came off. Most of the disagreements I see in our map chat is met with discussion as long as people are being respectful. When you use terms like “bad”, you will be met with hostility.

I agree with the above. Of course the best course of action might be for you to get your own Commander tag.

Its unfortunate that Commander tag is 100 gold instead of WvW achievements.

wtf was Anet thinking?

The ambiguity of the given scenario is hilarious. There is no right answer, because there isn’t enough data.

I’ll settle with: You were both wrong, probably.
