Guild Wars 2

Not to put too fine a point on it…… this change is TERRIBLE !
I’m a regular defender of my home BL and have just spent the last hour running around as though I’m in EoTM. WSR is one of the lower tier servers but has a good WvW group, unfortunately we just don’t have the numbers to sit around in camps, towers,etc waiting to see if they will be attacked. In the old iteration this wasn’t a problem as we could react to the “swords” and invariably get to the action quick enough to engage and even drive off the attackers. Now all I’m doing is chasing around re-flipping ! Yes you can look for patterns, and yes you can try get ahead to where you may next be attacked but this doesn’t work when the “new” WvW player Anet seems to have attracted with this change is those looking to just either complete their dailies or farm XP, they simply WP out and start somewhere else.

WvW is supposed to be about WORLD V WORLD which by its nature should involve some enemy contact. The bottom line is outside the usual EU peak times I now see virtually no one, yet see on my map my home BL constantly changing colour.

This change may work on high WvW population servers but for us down in the lower tiers its nothing but frustrating !

There I’ve said my bit……….

TL/DR – Its poor change it back !
