Let me put it another way – trying to get back to my guild and help them with a tower defence or open field battle is more important than spending five minutes trying to stay alive against players primarily built to kill me.
If I die fast I respawn fast so I get to my guild fast…….unless I meet roamers again ofc ;P
I know its hard to believe but fighting against roamers comes pretty down on my list of priorities.
I never said it was supposed to be your priority. It’s just really silly when you want to get back to a PPT objective, but we kill you and gain PPT for our server, and you didn’t even try to stop us. We still get PPT for stomps after all, its much lower than it was (sadly), but the free kills we get really add up… and those kills really shouldn’t be free.
A lot of the time, we end up camping a spawn just so people like that will fight us (because they have a group).
The other flip side of that coin (seeing as you brought PPT into the discussion) is while we are taking a tower, keep or even a camp, doesnt it seem a bit silly to just spawn camp or whatever it is you are doing to find your battles when you could be helping your server mates defend a objective?
Its silly that you want to fight but wont go to where we are fighting, you would rather wander in hope of finding some one instead of going to where you know definite action is. If your server mates are losing that defense, you are helping us gain those free kills you hate so much.
This was an argument we use to face against our fellow guilds back in the day, but this proves that many don’t understand the roaming philosophy.
Spawn camping does help because the following happens:
1) We kill you so there is less of you in your zerg for our zerg to fight.
2) It will demoralize people trying to get back to their zerg, especially pugs.
3) Usually most get fed up and group up trying to push out and actually give us what we want which is a good fight.
4) In some cases, we jump a commander trying to get back and we see the entire zerg go back to their WP to group up taking you off the battlefield for a couple of minutes.They are small contributions compared to what we can do for holding bloodlust, but it is effective.
As for joining the zerg fight, sorry not going to happen. I have better uses of my time than joining a lagfest spamming 1 1 1 1 1 1 all day. If you guys like doing that go for it, just not the roamer’s mentality. Zergs have an importance, but so do roamer’s especially with the new bloodlust meta.
We just wish there were more T-1 roaming guilds on the other servers who like to fight so we can have our fun too. Zergs have all the fun. lol
Let’s put it this way.
A good zerger can be a good roamer.
Someone that just roams usually is a rally bot in zerg fights.
Methinks that you’ve never been part of a proper guild raid if you think that the majority of large-scale battles are “11111 lagfests”. That’s a huge discredit to you right there.
Oh I’v run with some of the best WvW guilds, such as HB watching them farm IRON. The lag the past two weeks have been terrible during NA Primetime. Nothing wrong with zergs, if that’s what you want to do. Just not my style, just saying . . .
You have either been smoking something or just woke up dreaming to spout so much rubbish .At least have the balls to speak the truth .
This is what I see when I dream.
I tried watching that vid on full screen but couldnt read any of the guild tags. But i remember this vid (or one very similer to it) being linked as a victory over IRON going back a month or 2. If this is the same video I think there was a few IRON tags, about 5 and the rest were other SoR guilds, so while HB done well there, its not a IRON farm is it?
