Borders are nearly empty (as my guildmates can testify), but I’ve been queueing for almost 4 hours. Good job Anet, really good job.

Dear Gandara. Do you really need INT, CNTK and TAC with their pug blob (++?) to kill us?

less than the kittenblob of FSP who come for 16 of us.

Don’t worry, you’ll have the time to see how BIG is our blob on the video i’ll post tomorrow or so. After that, you’ll have the time to say it again, and again and maybe you’ll start facing the blob without running away if you don’t have a zerg on your side to do the job.
.

Looking forward to see that video then. I’m sure it will be a showcase of bold and daring attempts to outmanoeuvre superior enemy armies, against overwhelming odds and with no help from other guilds, pugs, or without friendly siege suppression fire, and with none of your guildmates conveniently “lagging” into safety at warp speed.
It was finally time for Blos to show us what they’ve got and to enlighten the ineducated masses on the true meaning of words such as “blob” “zerg” and “fair open field fight”

Probably one of the best fights we had in this match up

This.
Dear [FURY] guys, your video and your statements are the proof there’s more to this game than an average a day in the office grinding badges and wxp zerg drone will ever experience. You fought in equal numbers a fair fight in open field and you won, deservedly. You did that for the sake of it, for the thrill and excitement and the good taste a victory like that leaves in your mouth. Isn’t that so? Weren’t you looking for more afterwards?
This is what we’re looking for every night, at least we’re trying.
I was about to quote another message in response to the ongoing flame, but then I read this and decided to put it on top.

Currently it’s incredibly dull on GW2, and I think others would agree that the drama from these WvW “discussions” is quite entertaining.

And that’s the point.
It’s dull because of the way some guilds are playing the game. They’re playing it safe, simply throwing numbers at the problem.
They’re doing preemptive zerg sometimes when not really needed, forcing smaller groups out of the border. I guess it can’t be helped because some guilds are so huge and obviously can’t ask their people to stay home. But every guild big enough could always make 2 distinct groups, put more people in charge, share responsabilities, improve teamplay.
Some other guilds, slighty smaller, are too scared to move on their own and stick to each other or stay a mere 20 seconds away, ready to perform sandwiches on opposing groups. Nothing wrong with that, this is tactics 101. Except, each and every guild group is more often than not equal in number or bigger than their enemies. And they’re not willing to risk a one on one confrontation. They prefer to trample enemies with overwhelming numbers and perhaps show off their portal bombing and flanking skill: again, nothing wrong with this at all, I’m sure it brings tons of Badges and WPX. But, where’s the fun? where’s the thrill ? Isn’t the excitement of beating the odds, trying to outsmart bigger groups, surviving a no-win scenario worth the risk? Defeating your opponents in a fair fight, worth showing (as Fury did earlier in their “vs Yak” video) or die trying. And if you die in such a fight, nothing happens: you just come back and try harder, and if your opponents do respect you, you’ll find them waiting for you, again on their own.

Now, many people stated this is just a game. And perhaps your way is the way it is meant to be played. But this is a very dull game indeed. If I wanted to hang out with my buddies, I’d go for a beer with them. If I wanted to grind hours in a routine, I’d make sure I’m getting paid. I for one believe you’ve not really played Guild Wars unless you have at least tried to do what we try to do on a daily basis. Ask Fury guys about their fight: a mere 3 mins worth much more than HOURS of “supply camp defense”.
I’m trying not to sound preachy and I know I’ve failed but, please don’t say this game’s dull, because you want that way, and you’re doing nothing to make it better.

Gandara Vs Piken Square Vs Augury Rock

It is my impression that Gandara and Piken Square are so much alike, WvW oriented servers that attract well organized roaming guilds and dedicated players, only PS’s average group size has swelled to adapt to the top tier’s environment while Gandara is going through its first top flight stint and frankly don’t belong here yet, and perhaps never will. On the other hand Augury struck me as a “little Vizunah”…lets just say they find their strenght in numbers and collective purposes rather than in individuals. To put it in other words: they zerg like there’s no tomorrow.
Add to this the insane culling that turns every strategy into a gamble, and the ( newly acquired) ludicrous skill-lag that turns many fights into button-mashing contests; and what you get is a very frustrating matchup for Gandara that is seeing its numbers dwindle each day.
Lets hope Anet stops tampering with the servers and wait until Gandara drops a tier or two where it belongs, and we’ll have the ideal context for a confrontation between PS and Gandara WvW guilds

Hi,
looking forward to meet Tohu again in a later matchup perhaps under better circumstances. This week’s has been a laggy and boring match-up .
Quite frankly, if you have problems with the videos we put on our YouTube page, that’s none of our business, nobody shoved them down your throat, and if you don’t like them, just don’t watch’em. Or if you dislike our attitude you could even leave a “dislike” and a biting comment on the video!

But please spare us your patronizing tone, you’re just trolling like everyone else (and for that I’m reporting you): you keep on bringing up those videos like you’re obsessed with them, you said you prefer to fight on the battlefield after YOU sent your “Taunt Officier” after us.
We have another week ahead of us to settle this the right way, and don’t forget to bring your camcorders

Pardon me,
I’m a bit confused and perhaps you could help me: we indeed met and fought a few times on Sunday night (17th), but nobody came here asking if you were in the 40/50s that night. You definitely did outnumber us, you always do, (that night were missing a few people as well). But, that night we never asked such question. The event you’re referring to took place the following night, on Monday 18th when you invited us to Gandara only to turn up in a sizable zerg with some additional guilds. And it was then when some of our guildmates came here to ask you if you were running alone or with an alliance.
I wish we could have at least one fight on even numbers.
I’m not escaping the truth that we wiped many times against [fury] and we could have put a better fight in many occasions (as seen in your video), we are still working on that. We give credit where is due and admire your maneuvering skills, ours are sloppy. Just please don’t pretend we’re almost on par with numbers because we constantly try to rid of people sticking us and our all-time best turnout is 24 ppl.
Best R.
