Guild Wars 2

“Until that happens this aspect of the game will continue to shy new players away and into the zerg-fests of hotjoins.”

I pvp’d for the very first time tonight and I can attest to this. I started my first four single match tournament things by apologizing for being a new player and asking for advice and strategy.

My first three games were wins where the team told me that I was doing really well for a new player. The fourth game nobody said anything until 10 seconds before we lost when some guy starts railing on me for being terrible (no advice of course) and told me to uninstall and to go play hotjoin (aren’t those two things mutually exclusive?) He whispered me out of the game to spam me with how bad I am for doing anything but hotjoin until I mastered every facet of the game. I tried to tell him that my hotjoin matches had been mindless sheep zergfests with no communication and that I was learning far more in tournaments, but he was offline already.

The next game had me 2v5 for some reason and the next five games were against the same exact team. They spent those matches throwing homophobic slurs at me and telling me how good they are at sexual assault. Classy.
