Guild Wars 2

If you played sports and traditional games, there is an unwritten rule where it’s ok to concede. The newer players might rage quit, but most experienced players understand that it’s part of the learning process. You learn from defeat and play again.

Why do WvW players on this forum have so much problem with losing? There is so many ways to battle in WvW. It’s impossible to win in every meta, 1v1, small group battle, blob, siege ppt. That is the beauty of open world pvp. You get a dynamic experience trying to reach your personal victory.

When people cry about bloodlust buffs, blobing, leagues server stacking, and Anet trying to milk cash from players. They are focusing on fighting the rules instead of playing the game. Game rules will never be perfect, unless you’re playing Tic Tac Toe and Rock Paper Scissors and these simple games have limited replay value.

My point is there are so many people on this forum threatening to quit over rule changes or lack of changes. I don’t think these people understand competition in open world pvp. However, while I’m sure the forum posters are only a small part of GW2 community, they are very vocal. They play the political meta game.

You act like you read the forums, but obviously you don’t, or you would have figured out that most of the complaints come from terribly imbalanced matchups. You’re either oblivious or trying to bait out responses.

People invest a lot of their spare time in a game and become quite proprietry about it. I think even the most blatant fanboi (with a modicum of understanding of OW PVP) would agree that Anet have made some very ‘interesting’ choices with regard to WvW since launch.

Also, generally people do not like being told they cannot do something the way they have been doing it, especially when the explanation is ‘because you can’t.

At the moment any player that has a job/school/semi social life who wants to remain competetive gearwise in ow pvp is more or less having to do PVE bosses temples etc to get the matsin a reasonable time frame.

All of the above has actually been good for me because its made the game lose its appeal for me and I have taken the opportunity to finally DL Skyrim and check it out. After all, if I am going to do PVE then I might as well do it in a decent game that is specialised for it whilst at the same time getting myself back up to speed with Elder Scrolls lore.

Please don’t try to compare WvW to traditional games and sports. How many football games do you see where one team has twice as many players as the other? Unlike sport WvW has almost no skill. The server with the larger group of noobs running around pressing 1 for more hours of the day wins. The recent changes just make the problem that little bit worse.

I got into borderland. It showed my side is outnumbered and they have 3 buff . Everything is taken. Move out from the side gate, 2 thieves attack me, able to get back and notice the enemies zerg have built 3 siege at our door step and yet we can’t build any at spawn to hit back.
Ask a thief for help, group with 5 and try to take a camp at the far side. Seem and run around the place , avoiding them for 10min
Cap the camp when 15 enemies with +150 stats appear and killed us (the thief got away) with the stupid npc hitting air. They took the camp after 5min.
Give up and wait in spawn until they left. Took everything back . They came back, we log out to PvE. Wait for them to take everything at 3x our speed.
Came back . Take everything back
Repeat, Oh hail the karma train.
From HOD.
It is not impossible to win every meta. With your side outnumbered, it is impossible to win at all. We are able to waste 10 min to take a camp. For?
400WXP,some stone and loot. Not worth the time.
PS: We get way more when PxD if they left

OP, if this is a troll thread, then you got me. If you’re serious then I have to say that is a load of bullkitten. WvWvW matches are often sadistically imbalanced. I guess the middle school football team facing off against the Pats should learn to concede :T
At this rate, it’s just a matter of time before a mass exodus, because it often just isn’t worth it or fun.

lol @op. well if u run in a hammerwarrior or necro train on your mesmer after being 3 shot by 2 thieves(with +150 stats) 7 times in a row let me know how u feel yeah.

also if your 15 man group runs into a 60 man zerg i really wanna see how u overcome that meta during the entire week.

For the OP…. to match your thinking.
