Wow! Awesome video.

Thanks for the Holiday cheer.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

True Story

So much hate in this thread, so let me add more.

I wish all MMO’s used their Forum kittens for in game GM’s. There would be less griefing and more swift strikes from the ban hammer.

Instead we are left with apathetic employees that don’t do anything to help stop griefing in their games.

What is funniest is when an Anet employee’s game mode was being bothered by others griefing, I mean gvg, they fixed that issue very fast.

I guess if it doesn’t effect Anet then it shouldn’t bother the masses.

Caroline.4987:

What I do know is that I spent multihour stretches on multiple days of that last SBI-YB-EBay match as the only tag on all four WvW maps, pulling 15-20 ppl behind me, during the EU Prime, trying to flip as many towers as possible and dodge 40-50 man blobs on every map. How that even happens when I’m someone who had zero stake in SBI’s league performance since my league rewards were tied to TC? I have honestly no idea…

Since you’re new I will let you in on a little secret. SBI doesn’t have Euro coverage. We do have a die hard NA night crew that puts in work, but can get burnt out and need sleep. That is why you see gaps in that coverage.

Sadly falling asleep sometimes means losing sieged up keeps with WP’s. They vanish so fast Sea coverage doesn’t even have time to log on and enjoy them.

Wait pvf. Mag did it and I bet YB helped!

Blockhead Magee.3092:

Whats with trolling about the possible trolling. Sheesh, pvf has becomes its own event.

YB MAG BRO?

Congratulations FA on your Silver League victory. You have proven to be King of the Bandwagon servers.

With such a tough pre-season of losing a couple guilds and tanking a break to rest from previous matchups it was unknown how well you would do. If it was not for a couple guilds returning, and a handful of new arrival guilds the days before league, you may never have stood a chance at the bandwagon title.

I’m sorry your path to the top was so tough. So many obstacles in your way that made you stumble up that hill. I’m glad that your struggle brought the best out of you with all your trolling, hypocrisy, and all around pleasant attitudes.

May your future demand better opponents that are worthy of your time.

RyuDragnier.9476:

My SBI, so getting you within 5K points of losing is all it takes for you to take this seriously? You took Hills and are actually attacking in force.You need a higher priority rate then, if this is the only way for you guys to go straight for the throat.

Umm, I guess Holiday isn’t your first language. So I will translate.

Today is a huge NA holiday called Thanksgiving. Many people are enjoying all its comforts and joys. As they wake up from their self enduced food comas they will start to log back on in force.

Holiday food vs Video games? I think I know which deserves the priority in this matchup.

Radioactive.1248:

You do not have sufficient access to view this page.

You have to hate a tease.

Great win YB. EB good run this week. Not sure why you can’t secure 2nd. TY SBI Commanders for always giving a fight.

Shocked that 2v1’s don’t happen more regularly, especially when IoJ and NSP are vs anyone.

Yes SBI has trolls, and they are annoying. They make up a very small percentage of our population. It is disturbing to see how a few players actions can make so many players from other servers act as bad if not worse with some justification of you did it to me so I will do it to you mentality. It is very hypocritical of many that claim SBI does and says all these bad things and acts in less then humble ways, then proceed to do the exact same things week after week even if you aren’t even in the matchup.

Just saying.
#stayclassy

Furiousbeard.7602:

SBI #1 wagon NA

Is it wrong that I want that as a bumper sticker?

I’ve never had as much fun playing D as I have in this match up. TY YB and EB for doing everything necessary to make this week fun. So much fun to be had defending camps, keeps, running yaks, and some very fun open field fights when both sides finally decide to commit.

To all the SBI’ers crying, please stop. I hope someone is Collecting the [TEARS] as they are a good component for laughter. People are acting as if the sum of the points at the end of the week relates to how much fun they must of had during the week. The fun is the fights not the magical numbers that are stockpiled at the end.

Is it me or is the majority of trolling and QQ’ing on this thread, and a few other previous ones, coming mainly from the transfers that landed on SBI, FA, and YB? Why do the new people feel the need to bark the loudest?

Also still waiting for Anet to release transfer records on the last 3 days leading up to leagues. I still think YB and FA got enough transfers that they and other servers may want to broaden the range of their use of “bandwagon servers” when only referring to SBI.

Topology.8931:

Character name was Nic Fanciulli, account name was Art Department.2785.

Even if action is taken against him now, the damage has already been done. SBI Hills had a ton of useless ballistae situated on the back wall, courtesy of that tool. In between draining Hills supply after yaks dropped it off, he would tour our lovely corner of the borderlands, suiciding golems and draining camps.

It’s always sad to see the lengths trolls will go to win or have fun. Sorry to hear this is happening to you. I have seen that name in SBI TS many times before so it is hard to say that is not an SBI’er. Now I don’t know if it is a troll account with the same name as the person on SBI TS or if it is actually the same person trolling.

I hope anet looks into actions such as these with a stern spanking and not a slap on the wrist.

On a side note, thank you EB and YB for making this week challenging. Win or lose, I’d rather have a fight for first then a steamrolling. Keep up the good work.

Banzie.5248:

Have to agree here, SBI better put their try hard shoes on again or fa will stomp you and so till SoS you may beat mag in coverage but I can promise their EU and NA guilds would wipe the floor with Sbi blood all day with the servers current combat performance. You’re in for another exodus if you all aren’t ready to get hit hard 24/7.

Wow you promise? You sure? Is your promise worth anything? I guess you know the future.

If I may do the the same. I promise the only reason you are not having as good a time as you should be this league is because your server did not take care of its guilds and they left. Even the new ones that transfered there a week or 2 before. Maybe you should look into fixing in house problems before you proclaim to know other servers and their inner workings.

Leagues were a bust before they started, so not sure why so many think that whining through the whole season is going to change that or make anything better. Man up or take a break, but quit crying. NO one wants to hear it, especially Anet.

Banzie.5248:

Wonder how Anet will handle that one.

Tie breaking coin toss in the middle of Lions Arch.

Miss Firesss.3704:

Ohhhh, looks like someone is doing the exact same thing they are complaining about.

Picture says 1000 words.

The real crime happening in this pic is the loss of our JP. Don’t try to bog down the real issues with your need to address hypocrisy while poor SBI achievement hunters go without.

Kcrook.3945:

It is frustrating as a roamer to already normally be fighting outnumbered and then when you are doing well the tide of red washed over you. We were in the same predicament 2 weeks against SoR and people need not forget that.

At no time have I ever said the life of a roamer isn’t hard yet rewarding. I’ve only stated that for a roamer to complain that their self imposed handicap is by any means some one elses fault is absurd.

If roaming conditions are to hard, group up or log off. Complaining about or expecting an opponent to alter their playtstyle to make yours funner is silly. In a perfect world were all cared about each others fun level this would happen, but we are not there yet.

Gahzirra.8639:

FIXED

Wow XOXO sure does whine a lot

NSP is a good server always fun to fight, lopsided yes, cannot be helped. I only see a vocal minority posting here, rest of NSP are standup guys

QFT

How many threads are [XOXO] going to post the same exact complaints about opponents not playing to cater to their playstyle? It got old long ago, now it just looks bad.

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein

People will play how they choose and no amount of tears is going to change that. Exceptance is the first step.

RazGerb.6173:

+10 PPT, SBI please.
Do you guys really have to have 2 skill groups running around ganking our only force..<snip>

I’ve seen this from both sides of the fence. What I’ve learned is this.

Take it as a compliment. It means you may have been the only people giving good fights so people flocked to you. I don’t think it was about overwhelming you more then it was hearing a stand up force was putting up a great fight, and they wanted to be part of that great fight.

Keep up the good work.

Wow is all I can say. Glad I wasn’t online to see this live. That some felt this was even necessary is silly.

Let the chips fall were they may.

Gold or Silver? Is there a Gold Plated League?

This match up has been awesome. So many great fights all over SBI bl. The size of SoR’s forces is impressive and will be a fun challenge all week.

If we kept score how many times have the keep lords been bannered this matchup? Dozens from my perspective alone.

So how much has JQ spent on league winning transfers? Wonder how much that finisher will have cost by the end.

Snafu.7412:

Does SBI post dissertations on the forums all the time. Three sentences in and I zZzZzZz.

Blob in game, blob of text on forums.

Hey, I broke away from the zerg and solo’d on my last post. Some people are never happy.

Player Character.9467:

If SBI likes fights why is this thread so full of complaining about 4-6 necros being too many wells/marks for their 40+ zerg?

I think necro’s are a new character class that was added with the last patch. Sometimes new experiences can be scary?

wads.5730:

the path sbi is walking down is the same as kaining. ifyou get in gold league, the bandwagons that recently joined will abandon, and you’ll settle in T4 or bottom T3 in a couple months.

Ok lets play your seer game.

First off all this is based on us being Kaineng. Since all servers, and players for that fact, are the same… I will give you this one.

Now lets look at the core of SBI. All that are left are players that want to be here and already did the dirty drop from T1 down to T5 and refuse to leave or be bothered by silly things like outnumbered and losing. You are right, I see them leaving this time around.

Now lets look at the transfers. Most transferred looking for a larger server with more opponents. I’m sure some did transfer looking for the next best thing. If guilds leave because SBI is not the home for them we will be back where we started and that is ok as long as we still have opponents. Now if there are no opponents, I could see them transferring again.

SBI likes fights. Good, bad, or ugly there is fun to be had and something to be learned from each fight. Wherever we end up i’m sure we will make a way to find fun from it, but thank you for your concern.

EDIT Typo. Sadly we both mispelled Kaineng’s name. Sorry.

I am in amazement at all the people on Mag, and other servers, who can see the future of SBI. They have their stories down to a science on what diretion we will go, who will leave our server, and how we will do against all future opponents. Shocking how many assumptions the same players keep making as if their infinite wisdom sees all on how the players on a different server are going to act/react when confronted with future actions.

This would be the equivalent of someone looking into their crystal ball and saying that Mag and SBI will both end up in Silver league were Mag will be clubbed like a baby seal only accomplishing a place on the rankings below SBI. Therefore Mag’s less then cheery demeanor will lead to an implosion where players will start living in hypocrisy and jumping ship to winning servers. This will be the end of #Magswag.

tldr: Nostradamus lives in GW2

3 thinks I’ve learned from this thread.

1) FA for the most part is a class act. Give tough fights and talk minimal kitten.

2) Mag’s also gives good fights but their pvf is overrated. Heard so many stories of it’s legendary caliber and it turns out to be the same childish i’m better then you because you suck grade school kitten like all other servers. Disappointing, was hoping for more.

3) SBI needs to stop chest thumping and saying look at the ppt. Not sure if it’s new transfers or other, but it looks bad. SBI is about the fights, not the points.

This will be a very fun matchup. Good luck all.

I heard a rumor SBI doesn’t want the 6th spot…

Can we have the 5th spot please?

Imagine if zerglings posted everytime they saw solos who wouldn’t group up and give them a good fight.

Some solo, some group. Not sure why people feel the need to beat the dead horse and complain their worthless opponents never field the size force they want to face.

Personally I’m just happy to have opponents.

grifflyman.8102:

We were out maned for 90% of the time on BP BL tonight, had some pretty good fights!

I also had lots of fun in BP BL this eve. So many fun attempts on garri. I wish skill lag didn’t do us so rotten. Also if it matters EB outnumbered us too. The red horde even stole our borrowed Bay right before the WP was done. For shame.

Kaineng i’m liking this meat grinder fight for sw camp in SBI BL. Even better is watching DH try to sneak in on the action. Fun fights all around.

Noodica.5428:

After some certain issues with [Lost], Myself and the rest of my guildys i brought to Lost have decided to leave and rejoin our original BP guild [MM] Midnight Mafia.

NSP would better know us by the name of [HOES] so keep an eye out for us Most of us are ex NSP players.

So [MM] is made up of some [LOST][HOES]?

Dio.2394:

There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I don’t know what you heard, but there was only weeping that one time Noodica pulled me off NW tower when I was so close to my last Vista. I prefer to think of it as my eyes were sweating…

Dio.2394:

Careful or we’ll send Warmaster Gibbon to treb your citadel again.

I would say please do. Unlike some servers/players I actually expect to be attacked by the enemy regardless of my level, location, good looks, etc.

How can BP thump their chest for 2 weeks then expect people to show courtesy and respect to all its players?

Don’t attack our leveled up players. Please let them get to their destination or your just mean.

Don’t attack us in the JP because it will make us mad, and it’s just mean.

I’ve seen players honor both these things out of respect, but I can’t say many do it for BP. Guess if you respect those around you, they may show some back.
