Guild Wars 2

I found it hard as a Mesmer to stop the healers. So I mostly stayed in the spawn room and took out the healers in there. Also it’s easier to dodge the floating balls in there as they soon time out. The NPCs do a grand job of attacking the statue.

I suspect that if defence was made too easy then the game would just stagnate and people would stop playing. But yes, it can be a bit annoying when you put out a call to say that the garrison is being attacked but no one comes to help.
I think that you have to accept that castle and tower flipping is just a feature of this sort of game, we are not trying to recreate a 9 month historic siege here but are trying to have some fun and get some loot.
It sounds as though your basic problem is your low WvW population. Do you have commanders who organise people or WvW guilds? If not then I think that you are going to struggle.

I’ve always had this problem happen from time to time. I find that if the first thing I do is to open inventory and try to sell something then this solves the problem. It’s a bit annoying but it works for me.

This is a problem that I have always had from time to time. It helps if the first thing that I do at the start of a session is to access inventory and then sell an item on the trading post.

I tried to but some “slabs of butter” thousands of then for sale at 3 copper, but the buy button remains greyed out. I have enough money. Is it because I am only level 4?
