All this screaming about FA zerging, it has been my observation from the small man havoc side of FA that EBay and CD zergs are just bad. Sure when your zerg gets absolutely destroyed by an enemy zerg it is easy to claim they had superior numbers but you also have to take into account the possibility of superior builds, tactics and position.

All this silver league play has brought me to the conclusion that it is not 100% numbers that wins in WvW. Numbers are a factor yes, but these insane blowouts are just a lack of willing offensive pressure from opposing servers.

No, actually these insane blowouts are specifically because of numbers. Go look at the score evolution on MOS. Every night, FA firmly holds a healthy PPT of between 400 and 600 starting some time around 10pm that lasts until 6-8am. Do you lead us in other times of the day? Yes. Would you win without the overnight presence? Yes. Would it be an insane blowout? No, the numbers would be much more reasonable.

As a server, you also have the population to hold a heavy presence in more than one map at a time during primetime hours, and fight on multiple fronts during the daytime/EU hours. That is something that my server is simply incapable of doing. If we queue a borderland in primetime during the week, that’s everyone we have – all eggs in one basket.

You guys can self high five all you want, but the numbers are the numbers. Insane blowouts happen because of numbers and coverage. Zergs wipe to zergs from all three sides of the battle. FA doesn’t have some kind of flawless battle record that you can lord over us.

This post is solely because I take strong issue specifically with your statement that numbers are only a small factor in insane blowouts and that somehow we need to L2P. They are the one and only cause of insane blowouts and there is really no way around that. I’ve never once complained about your servers zerging habits. My guild actively hunts your zergs and we’d be disappointed if you didn’t field them. Do you beat us in the open field? Yes. Do we beat you as well? Also yes. FA is equally guilty of tucking it’s tail between it’s legs and running on sight of the [VOID] tag after a few beatdowns in a row as an EBay zerg is of doing the same against some of your stellar guilds. It happens, it’s the zerg mentality.

Hi VOID I like you guys. I haven’t commanded Eternal much this week, but when I have it’s been fun fights. I’m the large Asuran Guardian, but I agree, you wipe us we wipe you, overall fun times.
