Guild Wars 2

We finally get a game that starts to approach the amazing RvR of DAoC and people want to kill it off. Ive seen post complaining about Orbs, “nightcapping”, and server alliances. Seriously, stop. If you want forced ballance, or fairness, play sPvP or go to any one of the numerous MMOs that use canned fight mechanics (battlegrounds and such) as the primary/only PvP.

Orbs are fine. In fact, they need to take a page from DAoC and make the orb bonus server wide (meaning even people PvEing get the bonus). Make getting, and holding, them the focus of PvP. Make them something worth getting, and defending.

Speaking as a JQ player, I don’t have a problem with this. Over time, alliances will be made, broken, remade. It’s the nature of this sort of game play (along with all the threads on “night capping”). This isn’t meant to be “fair” gameplay. Forced ballance/fairness will ruin WvWvW. If that is the sort of gameplay you are looking for, I suggest you stick to sPvP.

Not seeing a problem in need of a “solution” here. We dealt with this in DAoC all the time. It’s part of the game.
