First of all: If you guys seek a real competetion to find out if you are better than so else go for sPvP. WvW was never meant to be competitive. The score does not reflect the individual players skills, for players skills are only a (small) part that influence your servers performance. WvW is just for one thing: To enjoy large scale battles. If you are not having fun in WvW, simply quit and go for sPvP. WvW won’t let your e-peen grow larger.

Concerning Elona: I am fed up reading how dump we are, especially by pikens only some hours after the new matchup began. We do not have to apologize we have more players joining WvW, nor do we have to accept such kittenstorm on forums. We pay a big price for having more people in WvW.
Actually germans don’t really like each other. That’s why you won’t find big german guilds in any mmo. If you see an elona zerg you will find almost as much guild tags as you see players. We hardly have 4 or 5 guilds who are capable of sending 20 players to WvW almost every day. If you compare that to SFR or BT or VS, who got whole zergs made of one or two guilds you can imagine, that we had to find a way to counter that. We have a lot of commanders who form zergs of random players. On servers like blacktide, the randoms are flamed to leave wvw. We actually knwo that we need them. Of course, a zerg of random players where you hardly find two players of the same guild, is no match for a guild zerg: you have a lot of twinks, many players who don’t give a sh… about group support or group heal or durability. And of course you have limited possibilites for tacitcal manoeuvres. You are a lucky commander if your people go to the same direction – if you are very lucky they will move to the direction you ordered them to. Most of them are not on ts and hear what you say, they disobey your orders. You see 5 people trying to finish the clone of a mesmer, 10 running away and 5 following one fleeing foe while the rest of the zerg get’s sloughtered because they left them.

But Elona fought on tier 1 and 2, so we had no other chance to counter the large zergs that battled us. Don’t blame us for that. And please be fair. Of course i shouldn’t care what people think of me. But after battleing all week on kodash or piken bl while having the outmanned buff, it really sucks to read such things. But i know that attitude. When elona was overrun by Blacktide or SFR, a lot of people blamed it on the numbers. Everyone complains not to see the enemy because of the culling problems. But also everyone knows, that every time he loses the opponent had at least twice as much players as oneself had.

Cool down. Most Elonas know the points do not reflect the difference of players skills. But don’t be silly and blame it all on the numbers. This won’t help you to get better.

Yes, BT scored a decisive victory this week. But they should know, what made them win. Sure, they have very good players and well organised guilds. But they already had those two weeks ago, when they did not win.
Main difference: they defeat the german players, while they are not online. They got enough manpower to steamrole eveything from 3 to 12 a.m. c.e.t. having 9 hours auf 500+ points every 15 mins. They are a challenging enemy, so it’s impossibile to fight them back in our prime time, for they have prime time 24hours a day. Not to say that you are not willing to pay gold for upgrading a keep you know you will lose 3 or 4 hours later, when there are only npcs left to defend it.

You are capable enemys Blacktide, but you had to get reinforcement to beat us while we are asleep/working. Without that, you lost.

Let’s see, how long a server full of wtj and merceneries can sustain weeks of fights against defended keeps of desolation.

And btw. it’s Anets fail that they create servers for specific languages, knowing full well that hardly any non-germen-speaking player will ever join a german server, making it impossibile to match an international server.
