I honestly don’t have a problem with people doing what they want to in game. I’m totally cool with that. My only issue with it would be if those same people were to off and tell other people how THEY should play the game. IE. “Don’t bring lowbie toons into WvW”, “Don’t use supply for that!”, “Hey, you! Badge down!” That’s great to know that we’re all on the same page that we can play however want. So, I guess we won’t be hearing anything like that ever again on the SOR server. Whew!!!! What a relief. Thanks for making that point for the good of the whole server guys! You rock!
Giving Indo/TW flak for seeking fights during a week of boring play against servers that stood no chance is just your attempt to stir up drama where there is none. If you don’t understand the difference between what you mentioned above and this situation, then I really can’t help you.
Fortunately, there are plenty of other servers to transfer to that could use your help if you find that the SoR environment doesn’t suit you. We care more about the fights than the PPT and it has always been that way.
Well, I wasn’t at all referring to anything about last week when we had a different match up. Just Friday night specifically once we were back to our normal tier 1 matchup. Even so, I think my point here might have been lost a bit.
Personally, I do my best not to troll anyone in WvW, and that wasn’t my intent here on the forums either. When I’m Battle Commanding, If my group isn’t seeing eye-to-eye on something with another guild out there on the map and it looks like it’s going to lead to a conflict, I’m the first one to try to be the voice of reason and try to establish a compromise where we’re working with the other guilds on the map. Every time I’ve been out there and someone wasn’t happy about something we’re doing, my first reaction has been to PM them and try to work something out that worked for both of us. Since taking over Battle Commanding the Sinister Swarm, I’ve actually gone to pretty great lengths to reach out to the other commanders on SoR and make it as clear as possible that I want nothing more than to work with all of you. A few weeks ago we shared a map with TSYM and our little squad managed to do some things that made Coron’s job a lot easier. Last week, when FEAR jumped on the map that we were on, I ran a backline for Ace and working directly with him when it was like pulling teeth to get 90% of the map to listen and coordinate any kind of effort.
I usually am in TS when I’m Battle Commanding with a few exceptions where we are doing something specific that requires my full attention in our Ventrillo. Most guilds that utilize TS3 have the benefit of having their entire force in Team Speak making it easy for them to direct both their own players and others who choose to join them. Unfortunately, I simply can’t and won’t ask all of my players to be in Team Speak, simply because the Sinister Swarm has a very strict language policy. They were promised an environment free of offensive language and crude humor and I’m not going to put them in an environment where there is no language policy. I’m not saying that in any way to bash the way people talk on Team Speak, I don’t expect every guild to have the same language policy that we do and I don’t expect anyone to police the Team Speak server. I’m saying this just to explain why we don’t typically have all of our members in Team Speak and why it can make it a bit more difficult for our battle commanders to dedicate as much of our attention to Team Speak as other commanders when we are trying to direct our own members in our Ventrillo. In regards to my previous post, admittedly, I was a bit frustrated at some of the dialogue here, and some sarcasm might have seeped in there a bit, but I stand by the overall meaning behind the message in that, maybe we all do need to lighten up a little, stop worrying about what other people are doing and just have fun, and if you’re saying that’s what you want for yourself, well then it’s only fair to extend that same courtesy to others. You say that our main objective has never been PPT. I’m RIGHT on board with that. My main goal is to ensure that my folks have as much fun as they can while they are out there, get some good fights and leave with some loot for their efforts. That’s it!
