Guild Wars 2

In a perfect world, with 3 faction wars, the lesser two teams are supposed to team against the bigger team. This is why the checks/balances of 3 faction are far superior to 2 faction or 1v1. Unfortunately you don’t really see this happening, or if it does, people come crying on the forums like some huge injustice has occurred (makes me laugh everytime). With all of the transfers ongoing, the current ELO standings of the servers mean NOTHING, and therefor your 2v1 strategies are not taking place as they should.

I’m afraid that A.net may lower the wvw population caps to increase queue’s to drive people off of the servers with high ELO. I started out on Stormbluff and we’ve done well in WvW, and I’m noticing queue times are not subsiding yet from launch.

IMO transfers to high pop / high ELO servers should not be allowed at all..

I’m going to have to agree with OP. There is a seriously large handicap for guilds with the 5man group cap. 20 man /raid (or 4 of those 5man’s combined), pretty please.

Not trying to be a prick but Lord of the Rings Online would be a perfect match for you.

orbs and undermanned buffs should be switched around, they are just some kind of sadistic pun (the side already winning get a power bonus, the side that cant win because is undermanned get a gold/xp bonus to what they cant win).
this said, why the side with less and worse players should win?

This is a really good idea, seems like it’s the “way it should have been”.

And why would they not intend this? PVP/Siege warfare is the whole point of that map. Just be thankful you babies were not playing during early UO/EQ pvp. How about having your corpse camped for days…. Your tears make me laugh.

Because Anet hates griefing and camping, and this is both.

Anet has gone out of their way to minimize griefing in this game in all its facets. This is the reason you can’t kill steal from someone, for example, or take their crafting resource while they’re busy fighting something next to a mineral node. It’s the reason they downscale you in pve and upscale you in pvp. It’s the reason we’re all anonymous to enemy realms in WvWvW.

Use /m or /t and get some buddy’s to help clear them out. Killing players in wvwvw actually benefits you. Too many good pvp games have been ruined by dev’s listening to the vocal minority crying over things that can be controlled by players. you have NO RIGHT to waltz into a pvp zone and do a jumping puzzle unhindered. Get some friends, might makes right.

pvp zone, people will kill you.

somehow I don’t think the devs intended for people to spend 5 hours camping it with siege equipment

There are three factions (servers) fighting for a reason. If you don’t understand why there is three then you fail to understand the game. These aren’t server duels. It doesn’t matter who you think can win 1v1.
