Haha even without naming this player I’m pretty sure almost everyone who has a presence on FSP, Piken or Underworld knows who this is. I know said person very well…. I also know alot of people who are still big on WvW in FSP – and from what i can gather from the strange posts and conversations i have seen and heard is that MOST people just want to enjoy this GAME. To enjoy WvW without the drama (person in question included). So how about doing just that? ignore all this false political BS and just .. ya know.. play

Very good post, thank you!

It is exactly what the majority of us want and try to strive for.

The Rift in Far Shiverpeaks is just very intriguing and I wanted to share it with the rest of the Guild Wars 2 player base and those who are perhaps not entirely aware of what is happening in their own World.

Are these admins self appointed or community appointed?
Laugh at their threats and their corrupt admin council, while they spend more time and money trying to keep their “power”.

Self appointed.

And yes, as mentioned, the community is already providing an alternative.

There are also much laughter for these egomaniacs.

The issues you brought up cannot be adressed here. It needs to be discussed at FSP forums and TS.

It seems like people are missing the intention of the original post….

With a title like EVE Online for instance we quite often read about all the intrigue, wars, espionage and scamming on various news sites. This directly draws new and old players back to the game to experience it and become part of it.

Guild Wars 2 offers exactly the same!

This post was created to illustrate the real life type political drama that occur within communities of this wonderful game mode Guild Wars 2 offers.

Players often don’t realize how structured, organized and coordinated communities are in World vs World – the true Meta of Guild Wars 2.

Yes, this is just a game, but it is also a form of entertainment and to a large extent a hobby, which many people are spending a lot of time on. Time for people are personal and of great value, which cause them to be very serious about what they spend it on.

If we didn’t, then ArenaNet would not exist.

This was but a single incident of a great many that played out on Far Shiverpeaks and World vs World as a whole and it would be quite interesting to hear players comment about what they experience in their respective communities.

The division on Far Shiverpeaks though is very real and changes are busy happening to its current structure with the community.

On Saturday night EU what ended up being a not so secret meeting among the Far Shiverpeaks community “admin council” was held to discuss the re-inclusion of a certain player.

The particular player was initially banned from the community communication and guild platforms earlier in the year following serious chaotic, destructive and toxic behavior as well as transferal to Piken Square with the intent to poach members and weaken Far Shiverpeaks as a World.

The banning went through a very formal procedure and the various reasons for it were well documented and made available to the whole community. The banning was also a decision that was strongly welcomed by the wider Far Shiverpeaks community.

Since prior to the last Far Shiverpeaks-Piken Square matchup, this player attempted to dig his claws into the Far Shiverpeaks community to find minions who would side with him to cause drama and create attention around his banning.

This approach even went as far as to manipulate “admin council” members for them to side with him for his unbanning from the community.

Following the major WvW improvements 2 months ago and server linking, a significant amount of players transferred from Piken Square to Underworld, who Far Shiverpeaks is linked with, to infiltrate the Far Shiverpeaks community.

On Saturday night a 5 vs 4 vote was cast for the unbanning of the player, an outcome which was orchestrated and decided even before the meeting was started.

Some aspects to consider are the facts that individuals who were directly affected in a real life personal capacity by this player’s chaos were never allowed to voice their case in attempt to keep him excluded from the community.

“Admin council” members who aren’t even active in Guild Wars 2 and World vs World anymore were pulled into the not so secret meeting and allowed to cast a vote on a case which they have hardly any knowledge of in order for those who believe they run the show to achieve their winning outcome.

The biased and unfit actions by certain “admin council” members have made a very large part of the Far Shiverpeaks community to revolt!

For long the Far Shiverpeaks community have been run by a few self elected council members who have proven on various occasions to be unfit for and incapable of the role where dictating and biased behavior is enforced for their own gain and personal satisfaction.

This behavior even goes as far as to where a guild leadership council decides on the outcome of World vs World matchups and manipulate results with their level of play for Far Shiverpeaks to not gain too much rank or drop too low.

A strong rank would mean more players would select Far Shiverpeaks as their home world, causing blobs and queues where these perceived hardcore players struggle to get onto borders with their guilds for raids.

A weak rank would mean an easy matchup and zero fighting action for these hardcore guilds.

Anyone who voices their dissatisfaction against these few members and hardcore guilds are victimized and threatened with community communication platform banning.

What this fringe minority group is completely disillusioned about is that they are actually the rulers of nothing!

For long the far majority of members from the Far Shiverpeaks community was never allowed to have a voice, but the time has finally arrived for them to take action against what they do not agree with and to stand up for what is right!
