Yes because we went into gold league with an intention of worrying about PPT.

PPT is all the glicko ratings take into consideration.

I guess that makes ratings equally unimportant as well?

PPT is a rigged game that has nothing to do with skill. As such PPT, and the ratings it informs, are a meaningless measure for a competitive activity.

I was half-joking. It sounds very honorable to say “we don’t care about PPT,” but in reality, all that means is that the matchmaker assumes you have a slightly lower population than you actually do. None of it has anything to do with skill.

In reality most points are scored when we are sleeping and at work/school/etc, so I would guess it doesn’t matter either way.

True, it doesn’t matter. I was just pointing out that it’s odd to hold “not caring about points” as a badge of honor. But then, I find a lot of things odd.

Sorry to interrupt the regular flow of the matchup thread. I have a hard time understanding the formal exchange of petty insults, so sometimes when I try to jump in I end up touching a nerve.

mags are big whole wussies that wont fight unless they have more numbers then their opponent and after they act smart about it. i thought you guys were good fighters, i was wrong.

I’ll be remembering this one the next time I see a group of KWBH corpses on the ground.

and let’s be honest…It won’t take very long.

Have you forgotten all the times AoN has farmed KWBH at your north-north and close-spawn supply camps in the past two weeks?

Nothing beats Against All Odds We [DIE] strategeries.

Oozo, I think you messed up. It should be Opposing All Odds We [DIE]. Yea when we did go roaming it was at most 8, but usually it was 5 or 3, and your group tends to roll deeper than that. We enjoy the challenging fights your group puts up so we threw ourselves at you anyways.

I also think running dire necro is easy mode but that’s just my opinion.

Yes. PvDoor is most certainly more skillful than fighting players and GW2’s matchup outcomes have nothing to do with coverage. Hope that Season 1 reward was worth it.

you know somethings wrong when you are teaching mag how to troll properly

i couldn’t legit remember if they had more people than us or not to even outnumber them

(we probably don’t have enough to outnumber them)

I find you odd, so I guess it is all even. Enjoy your PPT.

Coming from DAOC, I find the 15 vs 15 and 20 vs 20 GvG fights to be horrible, and generally unwatchable messes

10v10 and 5v5 are really the only GvG fights that i’ve seen that promote some sort of individual skill

Agreed. It is more than size though. DAoC was roaming play and your builds and setup were generally built to handled whatever the game might throw at you, be it a zerg or another 8man, as well as dealing with the surprise and differing terrains of a random encounter. GvG is more of a duel.

Yea, I realize that most of these guilds are running these setups because 15-20-25 mans are kind of needed to fight the zergs in this game, but at that point, they’re just zergs themselves and its like watchin a zerg vs zerg fight.

Its really Anet fault with the AoE cap

Do not talk about this. We are to read it, no discussion allowed.

Rip Mag PvFers you will not be forgotten.

Greeeat fights today at sbi bl SE camp today during early EU YB.

It’d be great if you stopped building superior ac’s over and over mid fight when you got the numbers though

this confuses and frightens me

it means official forums are dead for anything but pve discussion. time to decide on a new centralized forum to talk kitten on.

Neat fight at SBIBL north camp. I guess 2:1 wasn’t enough for SBI so they had to call in the whole queue to deal with Ark

SE and One holding hands after getting wiped individually. I feel like I’m fighting FA or TC again it’s so adorable

Don’t worry, TG and PYRO kicked them off of EBG mighty fast lol. Spawn camps ftw.

Stop nuthugging on PYRO, you guys got owned when you guys were in DB.

Yea serious hand holding

Hey [Bags] lets do this thang right now, whereyou at?

Fights are 1000x better in NA time when towers/keeps are all paperized by the EU timeslot

If you think mags guilds don’t do this as well then you need to look at the guild group standing right next to you. As already stated [Pyro] and [TG] were running together in EBG and in SBI bl [Ark] and [aZn] were running together. I’m not talking crap and the fights on SBI BL were fun and the fight in EB was fun. I think that what came down to tonight was we probably were both tired of seeing the outnumbered buff on every map and and getting map zerged so we linked up and tried to have some fun. Good fights tonight either way we are still trying to step our game up and we gave you what you want right open field fights see you all out tomorrow.

“Stop nuthugging on PYRO, you guys got owned when you guys were in DB.”

Orly, is that why we wiped you guys last week when we were alone, stop making kitten excuses like you were not nut hugging One. I like One they are cool, never really talk much kitten etc.

I could say to you stop nut hugging One, you guys get owned when not running incredibly deep with pugs.

GvG pls?

Also its not like EBG wasn’t even numbers, 2 guilds vs 2 guilds I don’t see the issue.

HippoLogic.2519:

[Ark] and [aZn] were running together

We passed eachother once or twice moving up a switchback, if that counts for you then ok. And i’m fairly certain pyro and TG don’t try to hold eachother’s hands too, pretty much every mag guild hates blobbing fights with another guild, we’ve all got too much pride for that

Sorry to say this to you, but GvG is not the name of the game.

Considering you guys had well over 60+ during those fight and got semi wiped once and backed off to regroup vs 50 [SE]/[One] max, then congrats.

PYRO on the other hand are an awesome group of players, they kindly asked us for a practice GvG which we accepted.

I lol’d at the thought of Ark and aZn working together.

Well the fights I am talking about were north of bay where all 3 servers were there clashing into each other and last night in Yaks BL but that was more like you guys and pugs and these are just my observations and a few examples cause trust me mags knows how to blob it up just as hard as any other server. You are all very good in the open there is no doubting that I think you all should just be happy we stepped out the towers since that is apparently where we hide all the time and we brought some fights to you guys. We push ourselves to be better everyday and hopefully it will show in our future matches cause we all know it looks like we will be stuck together for some time.

@Prosecutor Well, if you have no issue GvGing PYRO, certainly you would have no issue killing TG amirite? I mean, you semi wiped us once, that was almost ONE FULL WIPE! Certainly makes up for all the times you pushed and instantly imploded. Also our times on DB were quite enjoyable, not all raids were perfect but I certainly don’t remember you guys.

Nut up or shut up if we are so “bad” there wouldn’t be an issue right?

Also lol at 60+ TG had like 25-30 at that point maximum. And that’s only because we recently received an influx of players.

Edit: Shout out to [TE] This week for stepping up to GvG you guys are a good group of players. Also shout out to [One] likewise you guys bring the fights all day and never really kitten.
