jumping puzzle caming why the waste of time?
I don’t agree with the reasoning they use, but they like to think that they are keeping opposition pvper’s away from siege equipment.

What I hate is when some idiot starts jumping you and continues doing so even when you make no attempt to fight back. I do the puzzles with no armor on as a sign of my pacifist intentions. So fighting back is futile.
Because fun. And the tears of my enemies.

how is it fun fighting people that do not want to fight back they just want to do the daily jump maze n head out? you waste their time and ya own..
EB was lagging for me quite badly so I took a run through the jump puzzle for the chest and some relatively low-latency kills. It’s a great break from the zerg vs zerg for the small scale pvp.
If I see a red player, I’ll attack them. I don’t see why the jump puzzle should be a special neutral zone with the war raging on outside. I can see why getting killed during the jump puzzle would be irritating, but I would expect others to do the same to me. Besides, it’s not that far to run back and the puzzle is pretty easy and quick once you’ve run it 2 or 3 times. I run solo as well so it’s not like it’s unfair.
The pvp adds to the suspense of the place if you ask me. The devs wouldn’t have put a bunch of traps in place (not that I use them) if they didn’t want pvp to happen. Harden up a bit IMO and put your armor back on.
i’ve seen ppl camp that place. that’s why i never do the jumping puzzle in wvw.
Only if you want to watch.

In the time it takes to do the puzzle with PvP included. You can go about and clear camps and get more coin and badges of honor to buy siege than you would by doing the puzzle. So I honestly do not see why there is a fuss that people go into the puzzle looking for solo killing. It is much more fun getting into the hunting and ambush style of PvP than getting run over by zergs.
In the end, you have willingly entered a contested zone. If you become victim of PvP don’t whine about it, fight back or leave the zone.
And do not forget the Mystic Fountains that grant 4 minutes of stealth. There are many spread throughout the area… you can go to each fountain and never run out of stealth.
Sometimes a healthy break is needed from the main wvw event, and as long as there is no Que up I’m not hurting my server, and I also telly people up with Mesmer portals while I camp on the enemy >:O. Today while just chillin haven a bit of fun, 4 people were tryin to get to the chest from the other servers, and I was all alone. I just used my pull ability and kept them off the chest for a solid 10-15 mins. The way I see it, it kept them out of the real fight, and I got Thug Life.
I would have kept them off it longer, but then I DC’d

Because annoying my enemy IS fun. I once saw a good yearbook picture that sums it up pretty well: “It is not enough that I succeed, others should fail.” If you enter a pvp area (and the puzzles are still part of the pvp area) you must be ready to fight, expecting the enemy to not kill you is foolish and gives them the advantage in the fight.

Well it’s ok if they kill PvE players. They are in wrong zone anyways.
