I do not and will not listen to other people what I should or should not play. My main in wvw is a ranger and if other people dont like that too bad.
Can’t say it better than that, really!
Every profession is great. And every profession is bad. It’s all about finding the right balance. In WvW, because you are often in a group/zerg and your actions therefore have a direct effect on others, you have a responsibility to carefully select traits/skills that are appropriate to your style of play and then play them the best you can, learning and improving as you go.
If someone calls you out for a mistake, swallow your pride and seriously consider if they have a point, then adjust your actions, if needed. But if they call you out just “for being a ranger” because “rangers are lame”, then they are short-sighted fools who’ve earned a /block. (And if, e.g., your guild leader does it, then you need a new guild).

WoW has dps meters. GW2 does not.
Any questions?
Your friend did nothing against the rules. The guild should have been smart enough to see this coming. The guild can’t do anything to your friend, and if they go announcing this, they are also announcing how careless they are.
And that, Folks, is a textbook example of “rationalizing poor behavior”. Thankfully, most people here have a more solid moral compass.
Suggest finding new friends as well.
Absolutely. I know it’s a hard thing to do, but believe me: these people are not your “friends”. I know it’s not fun to be by yourself and have the feeling that you’re on the “outside”, but you’ll be far better in the long run if you just say no to these kinds of people. They are not worthy of you and you deserve better.
I’m really sorry to have to dirty this topic with a hacking report. As soon as I’m able to right-click-report the scumbag, I will. As a public service, so the rest of you can watch out for it:
Hacker: a Riverside ranger in Piken BL.
Type of Hack: teleport
Date/Time: Monday, 01 APR 2013 08:00-09:00 CET
Details: The hacker is targeting dolyaks on both of the north-south roads that start at the northern camp (Spiritholme). Hacker manages to port to different elevations while hitting the dolyak, despite physical impossibility of reaching those elevations. When I pursue him, he fires off multiple ports in quick succession such that I have no hope of catching him.
Now listen closely, please, Riverside: I am not calling out RS as a “hacker” haven. This is the first time in our matchup that I’ve seen any RS player cheat. The rest of you (and there are admittedly a LOT of you!) are playing the game the way it’s meant to be played. Rest assured, if I see a Piken player doing this to you, I’ll report him. Please do the same and let’s keep the game clean, eh? :-) Many thanks.
Yep, same issue for me. At least it’s got an easy workaround. I trust Anet will address this in the next update.
“Oh and Jaq…Don’t even bother to write about this; nobody will ever believe you.”
Well, made up or not, it’s a lovely story!
Before this smearing escalates,…Just as Gandara doesn’t want to be given a bad name due to the indiscretion of the few, I think our Piken opponents deserve the same courtesy.
Kudos to you, SoggyFrog, you’re a Voice of Reason.
Hackers and cheaters are on every server. The vast majority of us — on all three servers — deplore their behavior and do not tolerate it. We also do not judge an entire server by the improper and inexcusable actions of the few, for that demonstrates an inability to distinguish between fact and “that which is convenient to one’s emotional argument.”
Here’s hoping that those of you who are guilty of such false judgments eventually learn how to think logically. I promise it will help you in the real world, too.

Hi! I was going to post something clever to rebut all this negativity, to conclusively demonstrate how GW2, while certainly having its flaws, is still the best MMO in the world …
…but then I realized how much time it would take and how’d Id rather spend that time PLAYING, so I’m just going to jump back in the game and keep having FUN!
Bye! Don’t wait up!
I’m a Piken Square fighter and I’m proud of my server. My pride persists despite the best efforts of the disgruntled few, whose posts in this topic demonstrate their subscription to the principle of “never let the facts get in the way of your conclusion.”
Their conclusion: Piken Square is a shameful, degenerate pack of low-lifers because they entered an alliance with Augery Rock to defeat Gandara.
Against this, two facts:
1. Three commanders — not Piken Square the Server.
2. Duration < 12 hours.
Concerning Point #1 … PS has an active website where we organize ourselves. Despite this, the commanders who made this “alliance” did so of their own free will and without consulting the server at large. When the issue came to light, I promise you: the outcry you’ve engaged in on this forum is a pale shadow of the outcry that occurred on our forum. Nothing you’ve said here is more effective than what we said amongst ourselves.
Concerning Point #2 … Not only was it less than half a day, but respected by only a minority on either side. Personally, I played during this mystical, 12-hour period without even knowing about some alleged “alliance” (only found out about it post-hoc) and I promise you: there were plenty of dead PS and AR bodies littering the battlefields upon which I fought.
When faced with facts that challenge your conclusion, you have a choice:
1. Graciously adjust your conclusion to fit the facts.
-or-
2. Ignore the facts, continue to stand on your self-proclaimed moral high ground, keep up your inflammatory rhetoric, wave the bloody shirt and milk that situation for every gram of sympathy you can until the truth finally comes out and silences you.
And the truth will come out. It always does, no matter how many exaggerations and falsehoods we must endure in the short term.
And the truth is, the short-lived actions of a few on Piken Square tarnished our image. We accept that. It happens. (It will happen to you, I promise). We regret it. We resolve that it will never happen again. We know that everyone makes mistakes, including us. We know the value of those commanders who made this ill-advised decision. We have fought with them on the field of battle, we have discussed this sad affair with them internally and we remain convinced of their worth. We affirm that the only unpardonable sin is to make the same mistake twice.
Does Gandara wish me to judge their entire server by the few hackers, exploiters and cheaters I’ve seen, who brazenly wear the Gandara tag on what should be a field of honor?
Then I challenge Gandara to rise above the rhetoric and judge Piken Square by the whole and not by the few.
For I tell you this from the heart: Gandara is the worthiest foe Piken Square has yet faced. You are unrelenting on the attack … tenacious and uncompromising in defense … you counterattack in force at the very moment when you looked beaten and routed … you bring a fiery spirit to the battlefield, the like of which I’ve not seen in our previous matchups. When I ram the finisher into a downed Gandaran, I know that he gave his all and I’m acutely aware of the absolute priviledge I had in facing him … and when he rams the finisher into me, I take comfort in knowing that I died at the hands of one worthy.
See you on the battlefield, Gandara.
