So often people complain and beg for change. But they do not truly want it.
People are asking for changes, that incentivise the competitive aspect of the gamemode (You know? PvP and stuff…competitive…not PvDoor night shifts) while ANet does everything to ruin a competitive play, so your comment doesn’t really make sense.
Of course we complain when they do stupid things. What else shall we do?
You don’t get it. What you want may not be what other people want. Moving the reset night to the most active night of the week as Mr. Corpening pointed out, is not a move to make WvW less competitive. Its a move to gain more activity in it.
I don’t know why people can’t see they are speaking for themselves not, the majority of players. The numbers speak for themselves, they have the data we don’t.
To be blunt, I think you post just to be contrary. I’m all for playing devil’s advocate, but geeze. For many servers, they already queue all maps at reset… there is no way to get more people into WvW on those servers, as they are blocked from entry the entire time it is queued. Then, the servers with smaller population, might only queue one map, if any. Why is this? Because they have fewer people that want to go in WvW.
At best, Saturday reset will have the same number of people going in that Friday reset currently does. It cannot really have more because of the map population limits, and a servers own population level. Additionally, in these login metrics, information is missing (a constant problem with metrics used everywhere). Information like, why do Fridays have fewer logins than Saturday? A number of factors have already been stated like how dead it really is before it resets. But there are still more, from those that log into wvw to facilitate map travel without paying waypoint fees, to those that go into home bl to craft and access bank easily (keep in mind, these all count as population and WvW logins, even though they aren’t actually playing in WvW). Don’t sit and think that only a couple people across the entire game do this.
There is one server in particular that could always see this at work. Sitting in their borderland, you could just watch the outnumbered buff flashing on and off, almost like clockwork, 15s goes by, flashes on, 5 seconds later, flashes off. And it would really do this almost continuously for the entire time was in their borderland. My guild had a running joke that when we had 3-5 of us in their borderland, they would come in and ask the map what was going on, be told just bluntly that it was our guild tag, curse, then leave the map, because they sure wouldn’t really fight us
. Point is, that is a lot of people going in and out of WvW, throwing off simple metrics regardless of the actual reason for them doing so (one true ‘metric’ you can pull from that is, they weren’t going into the map to do WvW if they left the map 5 seconds later)
Still more reasons are also at work, though: Some dislike reset, and prefer to play when things are a little more settled, so they wouldn’t go into WvW at all on Friday because before reset was essentially k-train, and after reset would be queues/zergs. I’m of the mind that, if I wanted to just ktrain and zerg, I’d go to EotM. I’ve done reset, but i’m never really in a group larger than ~15 unless beyond bored, so reset typically offers little.
And a few more direct replies to quoted post: if people don’t speak for themselves, how is anyone supposed to actually communicate their issue with the change? And what about the true ‘silent majority’? You can’t speak for them either. They are forever silent, and won’t post for good or bad. One can only ever infer their desires on a subject by watching those that do respond, and attempt to weight it due to most responses to any questions coming from those with the complaint. Which brings us back to this thread on this situation, and the outcry over it. I’m told Reddit isn’t taking it any better, and some here of course are on Reddit, but many are not.
. Ye, it is TRUTH
