What generally bothers me is I see more negative chat in WvW. It’s funny because I usually make quite a bit of money and Karma and I’m never in a group. Just keep my awareness up and keep capping the areas I’m comfortable soloing. Took awhile to be ableto solo cap a supply until I realized how easy it was, and with NPC help in EB, you really can make small contributions to your server when no one wants to group, or you’re lacking numbers.
Just wanted to take the time to reach out to AR players that participate in WvWvW.
Firstly, the server doesn’t suck, and just because we have been challenged the last few weeks certainly doesn’t mean we, as a server, can’t improve.
If you have a small group of players, running head long into cannon fire, while entertaining to watch from a distance, may not prove to be the best of tactics. Try listening in chat and work with a pug that may know what the heck is going on around you. I have seen AR players running naked into battle. Repair costs in WvWvW aren’t too high, you are just doing it wrong.
To TFO, some people may not appreciate what you do running your rounds, but it makes it a lot easier for small groups or solo players to make a little karma, you guys are a fantastic distraction, I’ve capped tons of roads and supply because if anything you keep the enemy moving around. Have to thank you guys for that.
ANV does a good job as well, no complaints to them, always seem to have decent tactics(although I’ve only run in a group one time with a couple ANV players).
But for people that are newer to the WvW experience, read your map/team chat, watch players in organized groups, and feel free to ask questions. I’m tired of seeing people from AR attempting to breach a keep by just throwing their corpse at siege equipment, you’re not going to gain anything but distaste for this part of the game and a huge repair bill.
