Oh man, thankfully i´ve not read such ignorant posts like from the OP very often. Do you really think that your playstyle is the only one in wvw ? If you want to play for points go ahead and do it but don´t come to the forums crying when other people have different thoughts what fun is. Some like small scale, some like GvG, why does that bother you ? Feel free to go away ,do whatever you like and let other do what they like it´s not your kitten business.
p.s.
callin GvG “kill trading” clearly shows that you don´t have the slightest idea what GvG is all about. I would recommend that you try to participate in one or two, so that you actually know what you talking about. But i guess you are either too busy fighting doors or simply to bad .
Lol @ this guy.
But seriously, don’t tell people that it isn’t simply kill trading and that calling it that means they don’t know what they’re talking about. I suggest you participate in GvG (it’s in a game called Guild Wars, not Guild Wars 2) and learn what you’re talking about.
Downed state/no healer class/Rally have destroyed any possibility of GvG. Get over it churrin’

Hi.
So tell me what top guilds did you play in, since you seem to be such an advocate of what is worthy to be called “GvG”.
Anyways what is the point in having a go at players simply based on a choice of format title. It sounds to me like you are annoyed that GvG was discountinued by Arenanet, I know I very much was but there is no point taking it out on players. If you want to complain where it is relevant then you will complain to Anet for scrapping such an amazing game format, but this thread and the intention of players doing GvG in WvW, is completely unrelated to your point.
We were all disappointed. But forgive us for being passionate about something that we did for quite some time (as did you). Mad respect to you and [sup]. (I had a short stint in [zQ], never mAT, only aT). I do not claim their gold. (My silver isn’t worth mentioning).

I can’t wait to fight a real T1 server.
JQ is the third t1 server. TC might have been but a huge chunk of the wvw players are fairweather and go mia when they don’t hold a lead.
To the contrary, TC came back really strong and won the week after DB rolled over them. JQ is only currently stronger because of its large pvx force. If TC was playing JQ this week, TC would have definitely won.

And to answer the op, it looks like you’re looking for a server with 24/7 non stop action. Since BG and TC are full, SoR is your best bet. These are the only three servers that fit your requirements.

I get labelled a troll because I don’t agree with the consensus of a few people who are still trying to make the argument that gvg is real in this game.
That is laughable at best.
To the OP of this thread, sorry to “troll” your post. As far as the topic you created, Anet simply has no resources to dedicate to implementing something GvG-like to make it correctly. Guild Halls (supposedly) in theory will make their way back into the game and with it the possibility of a Guild vs Guild structured PvP arena. The thing is, the mechanics of this game simply don’t allow for GvG, which is what many of the people in this thread are failing to understand.

Flash of News: More guilds GvG’ing in GW1 than this game
Âchillæs – Jade Quarry – GvG’ing before you knew what it was
GvG is represented in wvw already when your guild is on a map you are fighting other guilds. Your success depends upon the ability of your commander to lead your guild mates. You gain additional forces = to the renown your commanders hold obtained through the effort put forth by your guild.
Choosing a small number of members to fight for your guild is a poor representation in comparison in most cases and due to the limited server mobility a true representation of superiority in the raking system you guys use can never be obtained.
Attempting to change the rules of a game to create the illusion of success is sickening. Of course this is pretending your not just trying to legitimize kill trading.

Nope and nope.
GvG is a myth in this game. Fantasy created by wannabes and tryhards who never lived up to the elitist standards that defined Guild vs Guild. Sowwy anet didn’t cater to the casuals by totally disrespecting the thousands of players who did compete honorably for the past 8 years in true GvG. But they still disagree with you. In fact, if my guild wants, it could easily just steamroll with a zerg over your silly little wannabe gvg’s and it’s well within the parameters of the game.

There’s still a gap between good players and bad. However, the watered down structure of this game’s idea of GvG is deplorable. And honestly, without a dedicated healer class and the meltdown of the ‘Control’ aspect of the “new trinity” there is no brilliant display of true skill.
Look at mesmers. Once renowned for being super squishy and no way of dealing damage, they were also the most feared class in Guild Wars GvG. Their ability to shut down opponents and interrupt/distract/punish was one of the most skillful mechanics out of any game, ever. Anet decided to remove this because of QQ from people who failed at interrupts and claimed they were left out of being able to play the profession because of their ping. Now they’re a faceless caster who’s all but a shadow of their former selves. (Though I will admit I still enjoy playing mesmer, it still doesn’t live up to the master of control).
Monks: Responsible for keeping entire teams alive and absorbing large amounts of pressure. Sorry, but nothing in GW2 compares to a clutch infuse health on a target getting hit by a perfectly timed rangerspike, literally giving the player 1/4 of a second to react. Monks had to watch every single person on the battlefield, and learn and understand what was happening at all times. Sure, it’s impossible to know what every single player is doing at all times, but monks had to be kitten close to knowing just about all of it. Again, removed from the game because “monks make the game un-fun.”
This game’s references to GvG are abhorrent at best and again, like I stated before, most of the people who claim they are doing GvG haven’t. I don’t disrespect the idea of open field fighting, I do think it’s fun even though my posts may not make it obvious. However, do not confuse something that was easily the backbone of Guild Wars pvp with something that is now nothing close to the same.
Your whole argument is moot. This in not GW1 and for those that played GW1 can say that this game is much different, which I’m sure your aware of. GvG or Guild vs Guild would really be anything that has 2 guild pitted against each other. So just because you have some fabricated definition of what GvG is because you played a different game that defined it differently doesn’t mean you have any say on what it is or can be in this game.
As for comps and classes, the changes that anet makes may kill some classes viability but may buff others. Teams have to adapt, thats what makes it fun right? who wants to play the same build for ever…Monks? not in this game, makes no difference.
Pfft.
Same argument every time from some former WoW member who feels like they are “owning” by spamming their cookie-cutter builds that were picked out for them. “This isn’t GW1 this is are am gvg in gw2.”
Please..
Anyway, where do you think the term GvG came from? No, it wasn’t the GW2 fanbois in this game who had never gvg’d from gw1. It stole the term from it’s (much more impressive) predecessor.
Get over it.
Nice try dodging the statement by throwing out blind assumptions about other people. Point still stands 2 guilds fighting each other would be a guild vs a guild or GvG to make it easy on you. And regardless of where the term came from it still applies. Yo bro you guys don’t zerg! Zerg is a race in starcraft…. :S Sounds like a “GW1 fanboy” doesn’t get what he wants. Should cry about it more and see if you can change peoples minds with your pointless argument.
Then I’ll throw the same irrefutable argument at you that I just sprung up on the other tryhard.
Anet created Guild vs Guild. Anet created GvG for Guild Wars.
Anet created Guild Wars 2. Anet did not extend GvG to Guild Wars 2.
/thread
Âchillæs – Jade Quarry – GvG’ing before you knew what it was
Most of the people who think they’re doing GvG in this game, have never GvG’d in their life.
@ the person who said it should be like GW1, we would need a dedicated healer class for that.
Gw1 gvg lasted longer than 2 minutes. I still don’t get where these wannabes think that zerging each other is now skilled.
Get off your high horse. You’re not the inventor of words. People can call it w/e they want. It’s always the people that never did a GvG in GW2 that say it’s not about skill.
Just to let you know, that playing a proper GvG in GW2 takes just as much effort as fighting alone. You’re only as strong as your weakest player. If RG or any other top guild had a short-minded scrub like you, they would never win a match.
But w/e, people with ego’s like you will never change their minds, you played a game before this and you think you have the right to decide what GvG is and what not in this game.
Newsflash: you’re nobody, just 1 out of thousands of players, that’s just bitter because people aren’t playing the game the way you like it.
@OP: GvG should have it’s own map/instance but should never be with the same setup as sPvP. The majority of WvWvW players/guilds think that the stats in sPvP are too static and dull. There is barely any variety, you either go bunker or offensive. While in WvWvW, there is so much more you can do with your gear setup instead of choosing just 1 way.
Funny how you think you are representative of thousands of players. Yet I’m the one on a high horse. Lolerskates.
Also, Anet decided what GvG is. Not you. Not the wannabes in this game. ArenaNet.
There is Guild vs Guild in Guild Wars. Not in Guild Wars 2. A decision made by the creators of GvG. ArenaNet.

I don’t disrespect the idea of open field fighting, I do think it’s fun even though my posts may not make it obvious. However, do not confuse something that was easily the backbone of Guild Wars pvp with something that is now nothing close to the same.
Your whole argument is moot. This in not GW1 and for those that played GW1 can say that this game is much different, which I’m sure your aware of. GvG or Guild vs Guild would really be anything that has 2 guild pitted against each other. So just because you have some fabricated definition of what GvG is because you played a different game that defined it differently doesn’t mean you have any say on what it is or can be in this game.
As for comps and classes, the changes that anet makes may kill some classes viability but may buff others. Teams have to adapt, thats what makes it fun right? who wants to play the same build for ever…Monks? not in this game, makes no difference.
Pfft.
Same argument every time from some former WoW member who feels like they are “owning” by spamming their cookie-cutter builds that were picked out for them. “This isn’t GW1 this is are am gvg in gw2.”
Please..
Anyway, where do you think the term GvG came from? No, it wasn’t the GW2 fanbois in this game who had never gvg’d from gw1. It stole the term from it’s (much more impressive) predecessor.
Get over it.
