Not all of us are in Goons and I’ve never heard anyone use MaGoonba. Sounds like a derisive name to me. Also you pretty much try to summarize the whole matchup from a few events such as Ramalot and such. That’s wrong and your attempts at chest thumping by saying we have equal number is inaccurate. I think when you run with your zerg you only see 20 people when there are 80. This invisi zerg has warped your mind.

The friendlies on the minimap are not invisible. All their dots show. That’s how people have been posting screenshots to Anet to prove there is a huge issue with the player culling. So no, I’m not running with some huge zerg that I don’t know is there… I’m always checking the minimap to see where our people are to try and coordinate attacks.

Its odd that you guys are being defensive. You posted pictures showing that you basically gave up by rallying up in a single supply camp. That right there tells me you no longer wish to go capture anything on the map… which is giving up, plain and simple. You can call it chest thumping or whatever, I’m just letting you know its dissapointing. But stop being defensive when the previous page is nothing but bragging about giving up and excuses like player population.

You guys were fun to fight at first when you were actually applying tactics to the battlefield

^ this right here. Over the holiday weekend, they provided some great brawls. It just seems like once the score gap went so high they gave up. It was also very challenging to fight them while trying to redo everything SoS messed up while we slept. No offence to them, I’m sure they hate how we do the same to them while they sleep.

Really, people need to stop looking at the stupid score. All the score proves is who has more active people at more times of the day. That’s it.

Obviously this troll hates the GOONs.

I’ve been in WvWvW several times during this matchup and during FA and SOS primetime we’ve always been outnumbered. Maybe you’re running in your 10 man group and complain that Maguuma is outnumbering you.

I’ve been in the GOONs for various games. Loved playing with them in EVE. If you were actually reading, I said we were looking forward to being matched with their server because they typically have many people and that means more fights. Instead they have many people all in a single spot.

I’ve seen many people call the server MaGOONba or MaGOONa… I thought it was a good nickname. If GOONs don’t like it, then I wont use it, apologies. However it would seem very odd for a GOON to be offended by a nickname, typically their guilds/clans say “have a thick skin or GTFO”.

Actually, Maguuma does have pretty low pop compared to other worlds. I’m not into WvWvW yet so I can’t comment on our performance there. A lot of people have said the pop seems lower on Maguuma, people have even left for other worlds strictly because of that.

I’ve also been told by a lot of people that we have excellent talent, but we don’t have the numbers to effectively play the map. We can’t be everywhere attacking and at the same time defending what we do have. Better to fortify and build out then spread yourself too thin and lose all grip.

Well thats also a problem with WvW itself, defending doesn’t have a very large advantage. If you spend your evening defending a keep or something, getting it all upgraded and fortified… it might just get night capped anyway. Maybe they will implement some point bonus for a fully upgraded keep to encourage defending and attacking it. Or perhaps a few hours of lockout to the tower (magic shield or something) that way you gain a benefit from actually getting it to that point of upgrade. I dunno, but something could improve it.

Maybe Maguuma might have less people on the server itself, but the amount showing up to WvW seems to be plenty compared to what we have also queueing. The big issue I keep seeing is all Maguuma forces move as a single unit and don’t try to hit multiple things at once. Our commanders are constantly coordinating things like that.

I’m terribly sorry that we’re not making WvW fun for you.

In light of your post, we’ll be sure to redouble our keggers at supply camps. I can only hope that you redouble your whiny posting in return, and we can both benefit.

Actually I have had fun, against SoS over the weekend when I had time to play late against them. Its just MaGOONba that is specifically boring to fight, since you guys… well you don’t do anything. If it sounds like whining to you, then cool, I’m glad that entertains you. I only commented because of what I quoted in my previous post. Something about not having enough people, yet still dominating. Yet all I see is TONS of people on Maguuma, and us winning with fewer numbers because we spread out and take the entire map and not just 1 supply camp. If you guys are really proud of holding a camp like that, cool, I won’t even setup trebs and ruin the ram layout… I’ll even petition Anet to rename it MaGOONba supply camp. My point is, that’s ALL you guys do and its a bit dissapointing. Friday when the matchup swapped we were all in voice chat talking about how this will be a fun matchup because GOONs have huge numbers, so primtime will have tons of battles all over every zone. Instead, its 90% FA owning the map. Last week we lost pretty hard to Blackgate/Dragonbrand, but it was a blast because there was always a keep siege going on or trebs that needed sniped.

As a server, we Maguumaians have shown that we can dominate when the playing field is level. We just can’t match the numbers some of our opponents can produce. When we are all oiled up and working right, we produce PVP orgasms at times.

Coming from Fort Aspenwood I have experienced the absolute opposite of what you are saying. You guys have plenty of people, you just don’t put them in the right places at the right times. For example, the last two nights have been extremely boring WvW because all your people just fortify a supply camp. Which is cool, if you want to just hold that… but while you are holding it, we own 90% of all the other stuff on all the maps. This is really really boring. I know a few MaGOONba guilds were trying to hold the south supply in FA BL around 8pm last night. There were maybe 40 of them? We managed to kill them all with about 15 of us, using hit and run tactics… lure a few into overextending and then kill. It was a fun fight, but at one point they all just gave up and bunched up on the supply node for whatever dumb reason. My mesmer friend killed a crapload of them with feedback.

Just saying, if you guys actually took group of 10 or so around the map to take towers here and there, we might have some good fights starting.

Ive also noticed you guys fortify pangloss sometimes. SO basically all our random PUGs who just entered EB will slowly trickle in and die to ballista. I guess if thats fun, more power to ya. A few of us heard about it and we just had warriors run in with endure pain, fear bomb, hammer CC and wipe the cave out. So I dunno if you guys are getting an illusion of success when you hold a single supply camp against the random PUGS trying to hit it 2-3 at a time.

And the ram thing at a camp… I have no idea why someone tried golems on it, trebs from the tower north of it would destroy everything.

I guess I sound like a complaining jerk… maybe I am, apologies. But if your server is just keen on holding single supply camps, its a really really boring WvW for us, because SoS can’t put up a fight when they sleep and we are stuck with 90% of the map while you guys don’t do anything.
