Guild Wars 2

lately, i have been thinking of transferring from Sea of Sorrows to another server because i feel like less and less players play on my server since we lose every week. then, i open up the transfer window panel and i notice, only 2 servers were full. compared to a month or 2 ago, when there was like 6 servers completely full.

im going to assume its because the semester just started and players are not playing as much as the summer.

or what do you guys think, should anet delete some servers to increase the population of overs?

after all, its not fun if youre the only person roaming in the entire map.

They opened up some of the servers manually, and player count is down now that the “newness” has worn off.

On a side note I have a feeling a good number of people in the SOS matchup are just tired of the YB Arrow cart zergs. So many may be waiting for YB to move up to T2.

BlazeQ is exactly right. People are sick and tired of the blob fest and siege humping of Yak’s Bend. Their guild groups fight well, but their zerg sucks open field if they don’t have siege to hide behind. People are sick of their obnoxious behavior. Currently reset is just about an hour away and YB is still flipping everything they can. People are really sick of trying and this new point system only favors their play style and does nothing for the lower population servers matched to them.

To be fair, I think part of the issue is that people just don’t know how to play against YB. I’ve seen various commanders zerg down a wall or two then get pushed out. Their assaults causes ~1k supply damage and perhaps some tactivator CDs so it’s not a total loss…but then they decide to leave the objective alone for an hour before coming back and doing the same thing again. Since they don’t bother cutting off supply, YB is able to successfully defend with a dozen people versus 40 while their blob is off causing problems. It’s quite frustrating but is more the fault of the people on offense than on defense.

YB also seems to have a large non-zerg presence that responds to camps, walks yaks, scouts and otherwise performs very well without being yelled at by a tag. Since they have so many people in general, they can outblob either server in their match-up and have wide non-zerg field presence to boot…makes it very hard for either the blob or the small-teams to do anything against them.

I’m not going to say that playing against YB is fun in this case, but I do really enjoy seeing them at work because they play the game very well outside of open field fights.
