I doubt more than a few people will try and claim that TC is beyond bad sportsmanship and trollish behaviour. To argue any server is above that sort of thing would be useless. This thread shows quite clearly that FA doesn’t have a monopoly on making troll posts.
Apart from some over the top forum warriors, this match has been incredibly refreshing. For MONTHS now, the start of every week has been a foregone conclusion. We were either going to be a 7-day punching bag for a Tier 1 server like BG or SoR, or we were going to get people map completion in Tier 3. Yawn. The good spirits of the BG-Kain-TC thread had their place, but a proper rivalry has been sorely missed.
I spent most of last week wishing that Maguuma had more numbers so they could give us a real fight, because they definitely had the attitude for it. Now, this week, we at long last arrive at a match that has both. We not only have some proper discord going, but FA finally has the numbers and organization to make this anybody’s game. I couldn’t care less about when we rolled them back in Tier 3 when we had twice their people on the field most times of the day. I care about this week, now, where three comparably powerful servers, two of which have a long history and all three of which have coverage gaps ready to be exploited, come to a clash.
This is what WvW is all about. No other tier has it as good as Tier 2 does now, and from the look of the ratings, it seems all three of us are going to be here for a while yet. Anybody who values a close game and a good fight should feel lucky to be here, especially those of you who should probably try to focus a little more on the Mist War and a little less on the Forum War.
