Guild Wars 2

The map is not outdated… It’s exactly what we need, open fields with open field fights, no map gimmicks to get in the way and no mazes to navigate to get to places.

Either way, it says a lot that before map switch the EB q was 70+ with empty borderlands but now the borderlands are qued while EB is mostly empty….

How dare you speak such truths here! Burn the heretic! (Well said)

I have seen these threads pop up several times now and they always bother me. I do not want to insult anyone if they try to explain their feelings but it basically boils down to this:

Most of these low population dead servers were not dead some time ago. People left, stopped playing or lost interest in WvW, and while some also like to jump between servers, many do not. I never have, and have no plans to transfer. And I know many players in my low population server who feel exactly same.

The problem is, the last tiers are not fun. It is not fun to be in the dead server and it is not fun to fight one either. WvW is about having enemies and when there is none, it stops being WvW. I understand that some people may like the emptiness and lack of enemies, and yet, I strongly feel that most players prefer actual fights, actual enemies instead of NPCs.

And while you are explaining here how much you enjoy being in dead server, try, even for a moment, to think about all those players who have quit the game because only reason to play – WvW is so stupidly boring they can’t be bothered anymore. I know many players trying this changed WvW right now after being away from the game, and many more just planning to return. Countless players have left the game because there is nothing to do in WvW, because scores do not matter, because winning or losing the match is same result.

Now, after years of waiting, we have a chance to fix these problems. And you guys, instead of being happy too about the gamemode we all love so much, start to complain against any improvements. It just blows my mind. It really does. Just because you want something, everyone else has to suffer too. It’s just extremely selfish.

And on top of that all, you do not even propose any other solutions. You just complain that all the change is bad and try to lie about how everyone loved their dead servers. No, everyone hated it! Everyone suffered for a long time and many left in the end. Again, there are obviously small number of players used to empty server matches, but it does not make you more special then many more players who actually want to fight and want to have meaningful matches and want to see enemies more then once a week. What exactly do you wish Anet would do? Nothing? Just keep the system going on for many more years until there is only you and 2 more players left in whole WvW?

Look at that someone who went into large scale pvp and was happy he got large scale pvp. What are the odds?

I share your joy sir. Alpine was a huge relief to see again. So good.

Ty Anet! The numbers don’t lie. There will always be whiners but the core of your wvw players prefer Alpine. PVE has no place in wvw. Since the change the fights have been much more abundant. I’d be happiest if they just rotated desert as an EoTM map and let the ktrainers have their paradise there but this is a step in the right direction.
