Guild Wars 2

A lot of you are saying that WvW is meant for zerg vs. zerg, and that’s true. I, however, disagree that it’s the only way to play in WvW. Then there are those of you who say “why do you roam when you face 150 players.” To which I say, F—K off.

As someone who is on t2-NA I’m no stranger to zerg battles, and being a thief I am no stranger to avoiding zerg battles because we don’t belong there with the current state of our class.

My main point is saying this is that people should be able to play how they like. I personally like to roam and follow groups of people and pick off the slow ones, or find a zerg and do the same.* Sometimes I prefer to camp near Keeps. While on the other hand, people might enjoy Zerg battles or people might like Keep defense or trebbing walls. No one should be scrutinized for the way that they play when it’s about the fun-factor. Because let’s face it, one Thief is not going to save a friendly zerg from Arrow Car Wars 2.

Live and let live, or play and let play. Whatever philosophical phrase you prefer, honestly.

Before I go with my comment I would suggest you not bypass the word filter. It’ll save you some trouble.

And I completely agree with you. The problem is the recent gaming generation feels the need to dictate how one should play. This is the method that they use to inflate their ego.

This has been the way people have handled video games almost since they were created, and in conjunction with the internet. Please, put away the nostalgia goggles, gramps.

100% agree!

I solo roam on my Mesmer as I enjoy the skill required taking on small groups. Zergs are boring as theres no skill in it.

I don’t think the players are any different now so much as the way the media is presented. In the days of Atari and NES, a company would create, test, and produce a game in house and release it. There were no retroactive patches or “balancing”. Players had to simply either get good enough to beat it or just not win. (Contra anyone?)

Now, companies produce a game and provide support via online downloads that include things such as balance and additional content. True, the majority of the current generation of gamers has never experienced the requirement to literally HAVE to L2P, but do you really think us “old farts” would have behaved any differently than they do, given the opportunity?

Not really. There use to be a form of honor among players in PvP. People would get trashed by groups of friends if they really disrespected someone. But that gen has grown up and gotten jobs/lives . What do we have left? :I

Btw I will NEVER take off these goggles. kitten whippersnappers telling me how to conduct gameplay and stuff…

problem is people complain about strong roamers. they could trash thieves to no extent and even delete them from the game…..there is always a next. roaming is fun. does it have a place in wvw? eh not really. hella fun tho not really helping your world at all by taking out strays. but if thats what makes you happy do it :P if thats ALL you do ….prolly best to move to a lower server when theres queue alot tho….no point in taking somebodys spot who wants to be productive. just my POV.

ps…..i do roam but never when its busy or we are behind(im from dragonbrand. i cant remember the last time we werent in 1st) might even be in t1 soon enough. but anyway if my server was behind i would be capping camps then supplying up doing towers etc. sieging.
