Guild Wars 2

While the 2v1 was a logical and demoralizing strategy, it really wasn’t the most frustrating aspect of this week. We eventually took back second place and were maintaining a solid hold of this up until yesterday.

I recall being dead in EB BL’s hills after repeated (somewhat) coordinated attacks by YB and EB. We eventually lost hills to YB while EB was downing another inner gate. Then the two “zergs” (for lack of a better term) met up and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many “/salute” and “/wave” emotes between two servers. Pretty classy. A few minutes later, the keep belonged to EB.

This morning was the true nail in the coffin. Slowly, but surely almost all of YB’s holdings on EBG and their BL turned blue allowing EB to tic at close to 400pts for quite some time. I find it very hard to believe that EB took those holdings without Yb simply ignoring them.

I really don’t have a huge issue with YB finishing first this week as they did put in a solid effort with good siege defense (far better than ours) and good fights in open field play. My issue is with the blatant match manipulation that has gone on today. I realize that this is just a game, but this really strikes me as a rather unsportsmanlike and clkitten thing to do.

If EB could take 2nd from us legitimately, fine. However, to have it happen in this way is pretty unfortunate for the game as whole.

Also, to anyone who feels the need to make a reference to “QQ” here, I would love to see your reactions to this situation if the shoe was on the other foot.

Anyways, good luck next week.
