Guild Wars 2

I definitely appreciate all the responses here. I recognize that attitudes can change, I think I’m more just shocked at how much the culture of TC has changed since I last played. I’ve been back in the game for a few months now after being gone a few years, and it’s just kind of sad to see people impulsively doing things after being so organized before. My primary WvW character is support-based (AH Frontliner guardian), so group success is tied in directly with my own effectiveness.

Xushin provided a great perspective – perhaps things will settle down and I’ve just returned in a time of flux. I’ve heard a lot of rumblings around major groups/leaders leaving the Toast, perhaps what I’m witnessing is just frustration bubbling up and some individuals not knowing how to react.

As of right now, TC has become a bit of a mess when it comes to WvW (compared to a few years ago). We keep getting spawn camped by Mag, and it’s hard to watch so many people run out to die without a plan, thus feeding this poor sportsmanship.

Perhaps I just need to find some solid guilds to run with to avoid this sort of thing, and stop playing WvW so much. I’ve heard a lot of the arguments about Arenanet screwing over servers like TC with the latest WvW matchup (and that does seem to be a catalyst here), so perhaps this is also a symptom of the greater problems being caused by bad mechanics.

I’m curious, are there any servers that are known to have a higher population of adult players? I’m growing weary of all the kids on Tarnished Coast… particularly ones that are outspoken and can barely spell. When I first started playing after launch the Coast seemed to have a better community, but things have seemingly changed. Perhaps WvW just attracts these types on all servers, but I thought I would ask here anyway.
