Guild Wars 2

Vabbi is like an EU version of last years NA Maguuma. Full nomad blobs can get high KDR when they run, but often falls short of the highest kill count in matchups (as we see) & always lack PPT due to inefficient map control & will keep bouncing up & down tiers.

When they don’t have a map blob they logout (too low dps), which ironically also doubles as a way to maintain an artificially high KDR. (KDR is perhaps the easiest thing to manipulate on the score chart). But.. the PPT and total kill count gives that game away & did in this case too. Almost every regular server runs without commanders alot of the time, but they still do stuff.

Start thinking efficiency, instead of pure sustain.
You don’t win wars by doing great for 5 seconds and bad for 50 minutes.

I have never seen such an empty WvW & EoTM in all the years of playing.
This participation decay teaches us a valuable lesson though, its shows us how to kill your own game if you ever need to do that.

ET used to be one of the lowest pop servers before server linking… but now it’s almost rated high, which is almost good enough enough to be a tier 2 server lol.
It’s hard to recognize BG these days, almost everyone running around is a stranger and all the new active commanders in every timezone.

There are some new players that are also trying to get BG players to xnsfer off from BG with various information like “go to this new & better wvw server thats started forming” (join before it gets full etc… obvious trolls trying to get BGs population down so it opens for xnsfer i guess). After doing some research I found a few of these players with 15k+ AP were from JQ that had recently xnsfered to ET after it linked to BG.

NA Tier 1 is like a pure karma train this week it seems, the fighting is really bad and unbalanced. It’s not what wvw used to be here in tier1. We don’t want easy fights that you can do semi afk, we want challenges, I would even prefer losing every weekly matchup for months, than it turn into this “new player server xnsfer karmatraining heaven”.

I think perhaps every server in Tier1 (here: I mean the real home server population of players) would prolly prefer if we remain unlinked in tier1 for the time being, it’s too exploitable in it’s current design. The huge population jump in ET is a big indication that ppl are up to no good. Why these ppl dont want balanced fights, but choose to stack on the winning team is just mind boggling. They’re ruining their own and everyones enjoyment without realizing it.

Enjoy a week of karma trains… zzzzzz
