whoa on my Alt account.
A few points. I play on Yaks Bend. This is Malevolent for anyone who doesn’t know this account. BG in my opinion, still cares and is still organized. What they don’t have is Coverage. During NA, they provide for the majority of “fights”. JQ is the server that’s dead during NA. However, once you get outside the NA timezone that’s when BG starts to take a dip in coverage.
YB is very different than JQ and BG. Because Yak’s Bend still cares about the games meta. Why? Because they are very new to this. Because BG and JQ have been doing this style meta for 3 years.
What Footballisgod said is true. BG is a server that cares when there is a reason to care. When there is a motive.
BG probably has the best pug- friendly community out of Tier 1 servers. Although BG does tend to have bitterness, I’m pretty sure no other server is different. But what BG has is the same coordination and communication they’ve always had even when I was there. They just have less guilds overall playing because of this game state.
On, the BG Voltron blobs. BG does Voltron a lot. Mainly GoF, XvX, MAS and SG. However, All the guilds I just named do give OnS (my guild) a very good fight regardless of numbers. I don’t consider any of you guys “fighter” guilds. You all play the map structures everytime. You don’t adapt to the “fighter” meta of let a guild fight a fight. You will always float to defend another map. You will ninja something if you can. OnS attacks to draw attention. You’re always in communication with other guilds. You will call for assistance if you are losing ground on the map. I don’t fault any of you for this. This is what’s needed and this is how you enjoy the game.
Furthermore, you don’t play to make your enemies happy which is perfectly fine. I tend to prefer the rawness of WvW over the organized kitten. Often times I do find myself wondering why XvX or GoF would call back up when we are virtually fighting the same numbers however.
I understand theres hostilities between the guilds but we are still each others entertainment. Never forget that. It would be awesome if sometimes we could have even battles and try and keep it civil. As you guys said, playing PPT is boring.
I think why Medaria is coming off like he is, is because of easily you guys can call for assistance whether you think you need it or not. It’s there. On Yak’s Bend it’s not that easy although its getting better. We are also not ones to call for help but rather map hop. We are changing that because we are almost always fighting 2 Blackgate guilds at a time Or HGBQ + CF. This is just a product of our environment versus yours. It’s not your fault based off your play style.
Both TC and DB are playing harder than BG and JQ. I just want to point that out. I want to point out that anyone whose played this game for years without much breaks are burning out and a large portion of those players are indeed on BG and JQ and not so much YB. Yet the OP and YBers post in this thread does hold weight. The servers that are the optimal for guilds and communities are ones that still try “when” they can. If you look, you can see this by the guilds who have transferred or died. The ball is in ArenaNets court. We are all waiting on them.
-[OnS]Malevolent IDK why I logged into this account.
I don’t post on these forums much. Because these forums are hindered by the rule sets and principles ArenaNet places on them. Because of this most people use other forums for better debates and communication. My account I’m posting from is my alt account. My main account is MaLeVoLenT.8129. I’m the leader of Onslaught and Onslaught Legacy, a Cross-Realm guild on both BG and TC. About 3 weeks ago I was Blackgates Server leader. I’ve dealt with countless issues of spying and Cross Realm players and guilds. I’ve seen servers destroyed and communities ruined.
I have one simple question FOR ArenaNet. What is Match Manipulation? Is this when During Season 2, JQ and TC coordinated an extreme amount to Cripple BG? Where as they shared information like commander names and plans. Where as they were in direction communication? Or is Match manipulation, Where BG and JQ’s goals align and a guild plays on both BG and JQ with the sole intent of destroying TC? How will you react when entire communities plot to destroy one another through spying and other forms of “War Tactics”. Is spying just sitting on a enemy map on a secondary account feeding information to the other side? If it is how do you proceed. How do you determine if that individual is actually a spy?
Whether your intent in having two major forces on two competing servers is to manipulate the matchup or not it just looks bad. There’s appearance of impropriety at work. I was on BG when TW formed TWL and started propping up JQ. Did they manipulate matchups? Well… let’s be perfectly honest the matchup in t1 has been manipulated for a long time with all 3 servers working in agreement to keep them in that tier. Push weeks and all that. I don’t know maybe that’s not done anymore but I know a fair number of people thought it was a shabby thing to do.
Regardless, even if Anet says that cross server guilds on two competing servers is a-ok there’s still going to be players on each server scratching their heads and saying/thinking “something about this stinks”
Is push weeks to secure ones server position, Match manipulation? There has never been a point in time where it was agreed upon the Tier 1 servers to see each other stay in Tier. TW went to JQ because the state of the game was making people very bored. They decided to have alt accounts instead because they didn’t want to leave BG.
Push weeks happened since the very start of this game. I’ve been in Tier 1 for 2 years now and I was once on Sea of Sorrows who also coordinated pushes. Push weeks do not equate to Match Manipulation by any means..
