Except that is a problem, some players try to turn WvW into something it’s not
So, you know what WvW is, what it is suppose to be and how it should be played. And anyone who disagrees with your view should not be allowed to play in WvW?
The real problem are the players who have extremely narrow view of WvW, and constantly try to force their own interpretation to every other player. People play WvW for different reasons, and there is no “wrong” or “right” way. Or to put it simpler, get that stick out of you, try to relax and have some fun
That’s a lot of implying there friendo. I’ve seen most of your post history, are you just a troll who feeds on these kinds of arguments? If not, I’m impressed, you really do have a warped view on multiplayer games in general.
Is it anything different other than a relm v relm type pvp siege and battle experience? Does dueling contribute to the score of the game mode? Does simply fighting ONE player only over and over help your server achieve their goal, in a SERVER based competitive battleground with a limitted number of player slots?
I don’t care much about this issue, but something about your logic here really upsets me, it’s the kind of logic that can kill other games and ruin other player’s experiences with those games.
If dueling was intended to be apart of the experience in WvW, then there would be mechanics that supported it. Instead there isn’t and it’s not. It’s simply something players do because they can. It contributes to NOTHING but the “fun” of the individual players participating in it. I highly doubt the devs intended players to do nothing but 1v1s in secluded areas of the map as it contributes nothing to the server, score, or point of WvW. There is indeed a right or wrong way to play any game, the entire gamemode is centered around holding keeps, camps, and battlegrounds. If you’re not doing something to contribute to that, you’re not playing it the right way. Simply because you claim that you can play how you want doesn’t take away from the fact that you’re in a TEAM BASED PvP mode. People play TEAM BASED modes to play and win as a team. If you aren’t doing that you’re intentionally harming other player’s experiences with your selfishness and are being inherently entitled about doing so.
Do I hate people dueling? No, but there are other ways to set up something like that (and players SHOULD be able to duel somewhere/anywhere in the game). The problem with doing it in WvW on populated servers, is that if the queue is full, the people dueling are taking up player slots that could otherwise be taken up by players actually wanting to participate in the OBJECTIVE of the game mode.
As a child do you play tag simply to hide from the other person? No, because you made a social contract with the other, both agreeing to play the objective of tag. If you break social contracts or implied agreements, not only will people resent you, but will attack you for it. Playing a team based online game, only to play for your own personal enjoyment (that doesn’t contribute to the overarching goal) is morally wrong, no matter how you look at it. To play the victim in this case is just wrong.
When you enter a team based game, you’re saying to your team that you agree to be apart of the experience and help contribute to the goal. Otherwise, why are you even there? It doesn’t make sense, this type of entitled logic is the reason for the all the current political discourse happening recently. The oppressors are claiming to be the oppressed and blaming other people for problems that they themselves start.
