I don’t post to hurt SoS, I post to save the WvW game.
I love fighting SoS, they have some great guilds (especially Merc themselves who we have awesome battles with) but when it gets to the point in the night when every bit of work we’ve done over 5-6 hours is undone in 30 minutes because SoS has 5 times the amount of people we have in WvW it game-breaking.
Last night I commanded the Oceanics through BG borderland, we took our entire map back (after owning nothing) and then left for EB, within 30 minutes we’d lost almost all of BG. We took about half of EB and just missed out on taking Stonemist (that kitten capture bar was at 90% when we got wiped lol). By the time we’d taken 4 keeps in EB we’d lost our entire BL again and there was nothing we could do about it.
SoS had at least four 40-50 man organised zergs in the various maps (plus a ton of pugs), we pretty much had 1 40-man force and various pugs for all 4 maps.
Nothing wrong with speaking up when there is an imbalance, I’m just disappointed that Anet are just making this issue worse by closing server transfers and announcing rewards for WvW all at the same time, did they even stop to think of the common reaction?
This is great. I admire your altruistic efforts to prevent the WvW Implosion… lol?
But seriously now. I’m a thief user, I don’t like stealth killing. I like to roam and burst down people before they know what hit them. I like to fight good guardians. I like rematches. I like to pit myself with the best player I can find yak slapping my borderland…
But most of all I like to win. Don’t you?
Facts:
If we had perfect coverage we wouldn’t be recruiting.
If we had long queues to get in WvW, recruiting would be like shooting ourselves in the foot.
If we outnumbered them so badly as they claim, we wouldn’t win by 30K, we would win by 150K like HoD used to.
If we were as vicious forum users as they claim, we would be in their recruitment thread, not them in ours.
Numbers alone can’t win a match, dedicated and coordinated forces do. For that we need great commanders and great players across all time-zones. We already have some of the best commanders in the game. Now we only need YOU!
