This just in: JQ has spent 7 whole gold to buy the entire population of Vizunah Square. It’s true. Believe it. #believega- quarry.

I hate this place, the discussions are so null anf dry, never any talk between guilds, or about fights, just pugs/trolls/iron talking about obvious things that no one give a kitten about (I hate that filter…) . Congrats on what should be 30 pages of fluff you kittens.

Oh it takes too much effort to balance the game out for a greater number of people so i’m going to just be a sheep and move my guild to BG/SoR/JQ so i don’t have to be invested in a server. Gotcha. Thanks for clearing it up unrepentant.

Here, have an upvote. Oh wait this isn’t reddit.

To be honest BG and SoR, you both have great organiced guilds, but both of you tuck tail and run, seriously, time and time again i see militia from TC run in bad odds, getting slougthered, they reform and try again, the moment we get numbers, both of you run, so yea, shut up and start dying !… This said your both better then us, so thanks for the great fights !

Speaking for T2, we only seek to be balanced with each other.
The human nature to stack for an easier victory is too prevalent and no one has the stomach for that level of an arms race outside Tier 1.

This is a very nice sentiment that has been promoted for a long time (mostly by Blackgate, Cheers!) but unless someone wants to be the first to dive into the water???

Could you get enough folks to do it without destabilizing the current T1 situation?

T1 is so unstable that every guild transfer (outside of NA) results in a massive swing in fortunes.

MERC (or just some of them) transfer to JQ and suddenly #3 is number 1. ZDs goes to BG and suddenly #3 is #1 and everyone is saying how JQ needs EU even though even a modest sized guild would throw the math off again.

How do you prevent a stackwagon and prevent a server implosion if it should dip to #4 for a week or two?

Here’s your problems on the tier 2 side:
TC:massive fairweather population, queues are rough and they have lost a lot of their WvW focused strength outside of CERN and PINK
SoS: Anemic NA, but if it’s NA becomes strong it will start crawling upwards in rating. Plus we don’t really have a burning desire to be T1 again (unless the nature of T1 were to change drastically).
Maguuma: The addition of OCX/SEA guilds would help them, but then they’d have to redefine themselves (can’t say you don’t PPT when you tick over 300) and there would be massive infighting between roamers and blobbers.
Fort Aspenwood:I have no idea what their problem is, but I hear there are a lot of politics
SBI: Too many lower tier transfers, won’t be ready for primetime for a while.

Speaking for T2 i want as many good fights with as many servers as possible instead of this ridiculous feast or famine.

TC’s “feast” of course constituting any given week they do not face a t1 server. I wonder if this contempt for more populous servers inverts itself into self loathing in that scenario…

the general conduct and tone in this thread is actually starting to turn my stomach.

For many of us it does. For the fairweathers it does not.

its also give and go, to some extent, i think egos among some, and the scare oh noes, they might you tube if we loose a battle, seriously who cares, “we dont have to beat em, just fight em”… as a example about 30min ago a choo zerg, attacked north camp, estimate 20-30people, they ran ower the guards and 5-10people that were there at first, then our people start pouring in, and we started to outnumber choo, and they ran to the vista and way pointed out, considering 80% of us are militia, so just stay and fight, it dosent hurt to chew dirt once in a while, IF youd loose, chanse is you beat us anyway ;P

and PS, choo is just an example, as it just happened, i see this equally with SoR as with BG

Sometimes I wonder, in my idle thought-time, if I’ll live to see 2.5 billion people in China and India fighting with each other over who gets the EU and NA people to guard their stuff at night because there isn’t enough of us to go around ^.^
That’s my personal take on the whole long forum fight, there’s only a few servers worth of Oceanic and Asian players and their impact on a 24/7 game. T1 is about those players far more that it is the NA population. Shuffling NA players around would be essentially pointless.

This is wvw, not fictional fanfare rp.

I’ve never ever been on a squad where we “run from, shut up and start dying” in the hands of TC. In the recent past I’ve seen good fights between PLX and EP, KnT and KH – two of the guilds I respected in TC. Sadly, they have moved on to other servers.

But usually when we are against TC, we are also against another T1 and they are our priority, not so much you guys.

Someone tell me how a guild of this size in a weak time period for us doesn’t affect things dramatically. 60-70 man <3 I love it.

Because SoR doesn’t fulfill the quota already.

Think half my guild received warnings this last week *lol

It’s been interesting on the forums, that’s for sure :p

We don’t usually run from fights, if we do it’s to disengage and defend an objective. I know defending is still a new concept for some of the lower tiers so I won’t hold it against you for not knowing.

I’m pretty certain that Eclipse is eluding to the fact that WvW and PvF are 2 seperate mediums for competition much like the Olympics and the Special Olympics, Kiff if you are trying to say that forum warriors have some mental or physical disability then you need to have a good long hard look at yourself before making such outrageous claims, only a warped mind would make such a leap to conclude that

I think due to the easy weeks Mag has for the next few weeks due to the Leagues schedule, and the long term injuries to a few well known BG PvF Olympians, Mag may have sent a special team to BG to assist with training in sarcasm, rhetoric and irony, hopefully you will see the fruits of some epic overtime soon

Right on.

Every TC match-up also involves another T1 whom we reserve as a higher priority. The disengagements TC encountered were not due to us fleeing in fear but rather relocating to a more important objective. However, we did have a few battle engagements with TC and it went like this…..

Looking at the graphs on mos this week, it’s noteworthy how TC have almost a perfect uniformly sloped graph.

meanwhile, for SoR; …..cough…..cough…..

i can see the TC is like BG, no matter how tough it is, they still keep pushing forward. hats off to TC.
