people, the competition on selling prices for items has driven them to the point where they are nearly worthless. I’m referring specifically to crafted items, such as bags. You have to buy ingredients to raise your levels and you make little to no profit. Rather than pouring gold into bottomless pit, Have some patience, match the previous seller, and go do something else while you wait.

As a few people have mentioned, it’s not at all an issue in large scales fights. Condi’s dont stick inside a zerg.
Small scale combat is a completely different story. The condi pressure that some classes can apply is just straight up ridiculous. I’m specced almost entirely to counter conditions, yet conditions are still by far the biggest issue for me in small fights. You can’t counter conditions at all. The current condi meta allows for no counter play, and that’s pretty much the definition of a broken mechanic.
Not to mention, the whole playstyle in general is jsut so anti-fun. In my opinion, conditions should be relegated to soft CC only. Condi damage is just completely over the top.
I want to like that post a second time

They just can’t admit that “hard to catch” is a trash trait by desing? Nobody wants to be randomly teleported around. Why is this so difficult for them to understand? Really makes me wonder where they get these people…
my guess is they just pick them up off the street

Disciples of Catastrophe is a guild dedicated to WvW led by Commander Thieving Hat, and myself. While we may be trolls (Hat more than myself) we have some clue what we are doing (again, Hat more than myself). We require that you log on and represent the guild at least once a week. We also require that you know what you’re doing or learn quickly; you have a minimum of two weeks to do so. Contact either of us if interested in joining.

2) Only fairweather non-WvWers or irrational people even consider the score, the leagues, the rewards, or anything that has to do with “ppt”.
Please don’t judge FA based on the new people that come posting from FA. Like every server, we had a bunch of reward hunting pvers come into WvW and claim they love it and start boasting about WvW. We aren’t delusional enough to think we have T1 coverage, aside from a few individuals. That said, it will be nice to get blown out again so that these boasters can go back to PvE.
I have about 25% map completion because I spent all my time in WvW since I was level 30, I’m just a bit of a troll

FA(Pre-season): we’re not tanking, we’re just tired from facing so much T1.
FA(During Season): Oh yeah, I can’t wait to face T1!
FA(Post-Season):????
correction:
pre-season: what’s the point bro? IDC about WvW, PvE is where the good stuff’s at.
Early season: reward you say?
late season: this is too easy now that ppl are trying
post season: and they all stopped trying again…
I have low expectations for post season. I’m looking forward to season 2
I think it is cute how the guy in chat thinks FA is able to compete in T1.
You guys do realize you are fighting tier 3 at the moment cause were pushed out of T2 before the season started, right?
1: hell yeah we can we’re undefeated in T2. In fact, no other world has come close we’ve had roughly twice their point every time.
2: we’re or somebody was? please check your post for grammar errors.
There I fixed it.
You were kicked out of T2. As in your server, FA.
T1 = Top 3 ranked servers. (Gold)
T2 = Rank 4-6 (Gold)
T3 = Rank 7-9 (Silver AKA where you are.)
oh finally somebody explains this, I looked (not very thoroughly) for the ranking stuff but couldn’t find it so I had no clue what you were talking about before lol.

Im very concerned about the population of losing servers, if the rewards are too good I can only forsee the departure of masses of players into more populated servers. This is catalyzed by the introduction of the new WvW map; before that map, most people way of thinking was : " I dont want to transfer due to queue", but now such problem disappears.
Think about it, a already low-populated server who is already outmanned in EB most of the time, will have a hard time holding a fair fight even in the new map!
Lets face it, most people dont care too much about contributing to WvW raking as long as you have large population. Chances are, if you are in WvW queue then you have a big server, and we know that bigger population = winning. So basically the new map will attract the WvW fight lovers and the people who are just in queue for the real fight, all while the servers with low population dont have queue and have no real reason to go the the queue map, leaving that as an option that would actually hurt your server.
Basically it is a lose/lose situation for the low-populated servers like mine. Is there anyway we can prevent this player hemorrhage?! Are there any plans for ANet to deal with this? Or should I follow the tide and join TC/BG/SoR?!
they will not make it a reward that will affect the outcome of the battles, it will be a finisher or something.

I don’t see how tanking your rank to slip out of Gold league to dominate silver constitutes “bragging rights”.
Oh yes we all intentionally did poorly before the season that we didn’t know was coming. How did you know?!
How did you not know the season was coming? We all knew at least a month a head of time when the start date was and 1.5 weeks when they pushed it back a week…
I have ABSOLUTELY no clue how I ended up typing that XD but if it was a conspiracy in FA I would have probably heard it.

oh and I suppose you can prove this? Did Black Gate do this to get out of Platinum too?
You’re the reason I think there should be no consolation prize, let me explain comically:
Jimmy: Daddy, where do narcissists come from?
Jim: Well, Jimmy, when people are told that they are winners when they lose and rewarded for it, they develop a sense of entitlement and learn to deny that they really lost by accusing the winners of cheating.
Jimmy: So by being told that there are no losers as children people never learn to accept defeat or acknowledge the success of others?
Jim: yep, and now you know where narcissists come from.
Also, please dear god do not give out 100G ‘cause the people you will spend it on commander are the ones who shouldn’t be commanders.

This should be titled "warrior’s code’ as your rules basically state that every thief, mesmer, and necro are dishonorable. Although most warriors run just the same when they are losing.
The fact is there is no honor on the battlefield. People will do what they want because they can, deal with it. I nor anyone else is required to indulge you in a 1 on 1, and should use anything to their advantage.
I want to crush the enemy’s spirit, not hold their hands.
IDK I got backstabbed by 3 guys at once and they sat there laughing the insult on top of the injury is where it becomes dishonorable
the medal should have fat chain and inscription: i bought my win
More like it should say “I bought my win and I’m from SuckGate”
haha
Same in Tier 2
They get 100g to give them back their transfer money.
Fort Aspen bought nothing, we’ve all been here the whole time. we simply started caring. Now that I think about, I think somebody bought our bad guilds from us. For example: I haven’t seen RET or ACE around.
PS: I personally don’t care about a reward, I’d settle for bragging rights.

too much work for the development team. for it to play what as you described seems like a small role in the game. Additionally, as you described it I think I’d rather walk

I really think the best answer here is to allow players the options to change how they see other player icons. Intelligent players will use this to filter out the good commanders from the bad, the good players from the bad, while allowing the rest of the lemmings to follow whomever they wish to their death.
I agree.
I remember my friend saw a bad commander from the guild [ACE] being followed by his fellow guild members and decided that, “All members of [ace] are to be regarded as traitors trying to sabotage the server of Fort Aspenwood.”
I’d definitely change his commander symbol. I’m thinking it should be toggle-able between blue and black

maybe the guild combat could just be like once a week so guilds can participate but not have it taking up all their time. These are just ideas to start with feel free to suggest changes and if you’re any sort of developer for Guild Wars 2 of course I won’t throw a fit if you make changes when making it if you should decide to use this idea

Has anybody else thought that a game called Guild Wars should have a guild vs guild system? Me too so I thought it trough a little and decided that a guild leader should be able to opt out of guild v guild combat. To avoid mass chaos you should only be able to fight guilds that are declared as rivals or enemies (whatever you decide to call them). you should also be able to form alliances between guilds. And finally Guilds should capture points of interest and in the Tyria, in which case a region around that point would be declared as that guild’s territory (just for pride or you could come up with a bonus to give the guild for controlling the region).
