Guild Wars 2

There are tons of people who fit your definition of hardcore WvW in the lower tiers. Fights are a lil’ different, is all. Buildin a community is more rewardin than hoppin between servers lookin for one. At the end of the day, I’m only playin against myself anyway.

Coverage is a moot point. You only need to have as much coverage as your tier does (which means tier 1 doesn’t have better coverage than any tier really. That’s why they whine more about coverage than anyone else).

Since coverage mostly applies to the game when I’m not around, I don’t see why I need to care about it, it doesn’t affect my personal playing experience in any way.

and generally speaking: lower tier means less people, less people means my individual impact/contribution matters a whole lot more.

so my question to you is: if you’re a hardcore WvWer, why are you wasting your time in the high tiers?

Because larger fights larger skill lag.
I like having a time of day where 10v10’s are the ‘zerg on zerg’ combat.
I like small scale stuff a lot.
Guilds on my server are extremely skilled anyway. Why go to another just for the same thing with 20 more people, causing skill lag?
Friends and money as you said, why pay for something I care little for doing.
Competition. If everyone did this, you just end up with super servers that are boring.
Queues.
Communities. If people did this, the servers they leave would be in tatters.

It’s all about community, and our server’s WvW community is awesome.

Also …
- Guild Transfers cost way too much.
- Guild Transfers cause you to lose all of your influence and earned items.
- Guild Transfers loose to many people along the way.
- Some of us have been on our server since launch, and enjoy server loyalty.
- Some of us like working on improving our community and skills, instead of just worrying about numbers/coverage.

Plus, I would never abandon our resident Dolyak that disguises himself as a human with a fro <3.

The list of y not is miles long q times skill lag server stacking server pride perfer small mans want to be known not just another zergling server pride guild retention… ummmmm want too help make the server etc…etc…

I think you jelly of my lack of que times
