I actually agree with you here. That’s why I think personally the tiers have much less meaning now than when they did prior. They exist, sure, for people that seem to need them to exist.
Correct.
So I guess we just need to agree if “Tier 1” describes the 3 highest ranked servers, or the group of servers matched up to fight, by a false RNG rank.
And as for the infrequency of the odd non SoR-BG-JQ matchups… The more often they happen, the more frequent they get. Hell… The chance of BG facing SoR next week allready dropped from 72% this week to 63% next week.
So the impossible isnt impossible. It’s just a matter of time.

… But have nothing to do with server strength/rank anymore.
Rofl… Yeah, it’s just a huge coincidence that the strongest servers are on the top and the weakest are on the bottom.
So in week 23 SoR was only the 4th best server, even though they won the top 3 ranked server matchup in week 22 by 54k ? They sure blossomed to go on and win top 3 ranked server matchup again in week 24 by ~20k.
/sigh
Yes, because the infrequent RNG derived match ups make tiers irrelevant, despite the rest of the servers being ranked and matched up in such a manner. And Tier 1 only breaking up twice since the patch was implemented.
In other news, I saw a bike today. I guess cars don’t exist any more.
So wait, “yes” as in SoR was only the 4th best? Then this rating here https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/wvw must be the irrelevant part, and not the tiers? But you say tiers ARE irrelevant, as in my exact point.
Gosh Mr…. I must thank you for taking time to teach, but them big words and comparisons confuse me!

Dear SoR,
Could you tell us before reset if you plan on training next week too?You will find out during that week
Translation:
“If our newest acquisition falls through and underperforms, or our NA gets dominated when trying to teach BG SEA a lesson, then yes”.
Underdog server? Hhmmm.. 2 JQNA guild just transferred to SOR and SOR recruited IRON & KISS a while back.
But only BG became FULL since then.
BG was the first server to become FULL before the previous increase in server cap. Now they are FULL. Just a heads up, SoR has never become full. BG also employs black outs to make sure the server goes to very high for a few moments to cramp more transfers over on a frequent basis.
As far as I’m concerned BG just running CoF all day to buy more guilds when they’re stuck in queue in all timezones.
Nah
Ok, i’ll ellaborate.
- First one to go full after the cap was raised was TC.
- Blackouts are so 2 months ago. (atleast I’ve only heard talk of one that was canceled since i’ve been on BG for the last 3 months)
- BG offered assistance to guild wanting to transfer. Fractions of what was needed, but they did.
As far as im concerned, you Sir are ignorant.
P.S. Welcome back to the forums Fact, hope the new account survives!
Dear SoR,
Could you tell us before reset if you plan on training next week too?SoR let BG win this week.
Finally some truths from SoR… I beleive that.
Just hope its as obvious to everyone.
Edit:
Oh wait, totally misjudged that sry. Its more likely some premature chest thumping of whats to come next week, as you allready “sealed the deal”, and dont need to act like an underdog anymore.

Lol you realize the term “tier” is to reference where your server is fighting? There being 8 matches or 8 “tiers” of matches. Our match up is “tier 1” based off the placement on mos….
… But have nothing to do with server strength/rank anymore.
Definitely, ppt does matter to an extent, but only an extremely small one, to Rallians. SoR simply doesn’t want to ever become past rank 1 servers that got too obsessed getting first.
This doesn’t really line up with what I know of SoR, but I’ll take your word for it, since I suppose you could pick and choose certain posts from certain BG individuals and accuse us of having an unhealthy obsession with being first. As a server, Blackgate has been knocked on its kitten more than twice but I really salute the core guilds who show up day in and day out regardless of the score and ranking. These guilds are the reason why we’ve stabilized in T1 and never went on a downward spiral even when we got pushed down into T2. SoR has not experienced this dip yet, but I do believe the community is strong enough to maintain a good server rank for a very long time.
btw we went down to t2 like a month ago for 1 week. WE faced tc and sos
What’s T2?
(Was just about to repeat something said 100’s of times, in every match thread since RNG matchups started, by people from all server, but went with sarcasme instead)
To be honest, SoR can do whatever they want.
Tank to recruit, go outside in the sun, tank to recruit, play for fights not ppt, tank to recruit….. Etc…..
In the end it’s the competition that makes it fun, and that’s what your opposition offer. From what i’ve seen these past few months, thats exactly what BG offers no matter the odds.
Uphill or downhill… BG fights on!
So I heard BG was lacking EU coverage….
Try digging through your folder named “screendumps for troll purposes” and see if you can find a picture containing EU guildtags like RK or HB or.. erhm… Think thats about it.
You know… Something to show WE DO have 50 man IRON-like map zerg, and not just SEA playing in the end of their primetime.
You could even make a .gif out of it to prove a point!
2/10

Uhhh we are still playing. Just because our PPT isn’t at the norm doesn’t mean we arn’t out in force. I know that may be too much for bg to comprehend.
True, your 80 man map blob force is still out, but where you’d normally find them on 3-4 maps, they seem to have condensed in to just one this week. Go figure… Maybe it is because your fairweather players are out in the sun. Atleast so im told.
Anyways I notice BG NA still likes hiding inside their keeps/towers. If you ever get bored come fight us out in the open field. Bg bl last night started out slow but thankfully u guys decided to come out before we got bored and logged. .
Sorry you had bad experiences in WWW. Im completely sure your version is not totally onesided and biased.
It’s pretty funny the bg posters thinking SoR is having internal issues and are losing on purpose to get more guilds. Time to take off those tin foil hats.
Think the internal issue talk, and you Guys losing on purpose talk have died down. We were merely trying to guess why you were losing so badly. Tinfoil hats are of, and conclusion must simply be that in this 1v1 with no 3rd PPT contender, you’re just plain bad, and go do CoF when it gets tough.
SOR ticking at 80ppt during NA prime time. What happened to playing for the fights?
Playing for fights and playing the PPT game is not the same thing.
Also SoR is “hiding its strength” and playing badly on purpose so we can recruit more guilds to compete with BG, as this is recognised as the most effective method for mass recruiting on SoR.
Xaoc, russian guild is on our way. They should all transfer by friday. Pitty it’s only half of their force which is 300 members
Is this the part where everyone freaks out and creates a rampage in response to your post? Because this is already something that people have tried to do recently. Troll moar.
Yeah, [IRON] (also) in trolling go for quantity over quality i’d give this a 5/10. They should improve soon now Fact’s .gif ban has lifted.
Aaanyway, a stomped SoR is in pain now. Be good to see if the fairweather players that have not shown up this week, will come back next week or they got too demoralized by this week complete humiliation.
Demoralized? If you call enjoying the summer months outside, sure. You need to get out more man.
So, SoR is loosing this week because you are all outside enjoying the sun?
Global sunshine in SoR World… Must be amazing!
Think i’ll file this in the SoR excuse archive right besides “we have jobs” & “you are all 14 y/o out of school”.
