Guild Wars 2

Hello all you guys/gals. While my input may not be required or wanted for that matter, I’m still going to post it (insert deal with it meme). While I do not claim to be a WvW expert by any means, I have my fair share of play time on a variety of servers. With this being said, these experiences have led me to form my own opinion on what is causing this WvW community (T1) to decline. That cause is…. While I know that it is rude to name names (YB), I would like to point out a few things. The argument that WvW is a mixture of PvE and PvP is completely ridiculous. You (and I mean every single one of you good people) log into WvW for the exact reason which is to escape from the PvE community for some amount of time. If I wanted to fight an npc with Ironhide and a barrage of arrowcarts etc.. I would focus on the new HoT areas. Secondly, when it comes to playstyle and general tactics, it is almost comical to watch YB in an open field fight against either BG or JQ. This simply doesn’t happen due to the hide and build mentality that YB has obtained throughout their time playing lower tier servers. It is neither healthy nor helpful for the WvW community that GW2 once had. The recent loss of players is a perfect example of this. While YB may claim that they are simply “using the tactics that Anet provides them”, this is no justification for taking advantage of what most would consider a flaw in the current meta/game itself. Ask yourself (especially you YB players), why would BG/JQ want to fight a blob twice their size in an area surrounded by enemy siege at all times (which is the case in almost every YB encounter with either server). It simply makes no sense and is therefore not entertaining in the slightest. This brings me to my final point. BG IS NOT SIMPLY CRYING. Nope…in fact, we are pleading. This stems from the want for change, which is not to remove YB as a server ( I have no hate for any player, just playstyle..) , but simply to change their manipulative manners (which are the only reason they have reached T1 in the first place (just being honest)). Now, if YB were to actually open field fight during half the time they were siege hugging their third of the map (which, percentage wise, baffles me when considering their numbers) they might realize why BG/JQ is frustrated at this point. We aren’t looking to enter WvW just to realize it is another grind of iron hide equipped lords. We are doing so in order to compete. The current WvW experience simply ins’t the original mentality behind the game mode and was never considered until servers like YB decided to make it as such. So… before you come to this thread calling BG/JQ crybabies, consider this. We are not the ones utilizing what is unanimously considered a flaw in the game. Hope to see you on the (siege empty) open field. FOR SOME BAGS! =P
