Waytodawn, it would have been greatly appreciated if you had exercised the good taste to not defame the server’s WvW population in it’s own recruitment thread.
I do not share your experiences. Good luck on your new server.
Hi Reika!
I’m Pix, representing The Society on Yak’s Bend. We’re an international group of people that have played together for years, and would love to have you. You’d get the most out of it if you play at least partly between 8-12 pm server, since we don’t have that many Oceanics.
I can’t think of any other Oceanic YB guilds off the top of my head either, but you might want to have a look at the YB community forums at www.yaks-bend.com.
I’ll sent you an ingame msg to see if you want to know more!

Hi Brand, I’m Pix from The Society on Yak’s Bend. We’re a friendly laidback guild that are active in all area’s of the game. We’re mediumsized, and don’t require exclusive representation. I’ll flick ya an ingame mail soon to see if we can provide what you’re after.
Alternatively, use Yak’s excellent community Forum at www.yaks-bend.com, a great place to find other YB guilds.
Hi Ara, I’m Pix from The Society. We’re a medium sized guild on YB, with 15-20 at peak times. We are fairly laidback, and we’re made up of guys and gals that enjoy the social aspect of gaming. About 30% of our membership is female, so you wouldn’t be alone.
We do a little bit of evrything, and would love to have you. Check our flash recruitment post at the server forum here:
Or our website here:
I’ll try and send you an ingame mail tommorrow, time allowing.
Good luck with your search,
Pix
Yak’s Bend need YOU in our offensive line-up. We have the havoc groups, we have people that take and hold like no other, we have people for logistics…
All you need to do is to come over and kick in some faces with SE and One as part of our specialised offence.
Was there ever a more tempting path to glory?
Taking your ball and going home does not earn you the moral high ground.
stop kidding yourself.
Hey Nat, if you could check what your server is, that would be helpful. There’s a server option on the bottom left of the character screen, iirc. Your server will have a white person icon behind it.
Hi Blue, what Server are you on, and are you willing to transfer? What sort of guild are you looking for?
Hi DN, I sent you a PM.
Hi Tebow, I’m Pix from The Society [SCTY] on Yak’s Bend. We’re a Medium sized PvX Guild, Social with a Semi-hardcore attitude to gaming. You can expect about 15-40 people on at peaktimes, but we’re international, so there is almost always someone on.
We pride ourselves on our adult dramafree environment that we provide. Please check us out on:
http://www.gw2society.enjin.com/forum
or contact Pretty Pixie.8603 or Soulblazer.3806 in game.
Good luck on your search!
I don’t think many SBI have a problem with you doing it.
2v1 is fairly common in this game, be it servers or players doing it in fights.
What people don’t respect is people doing 2v1 then bragging about it afterwards….which quite a few people from Yaks and EB have done this match up.
Its smart to do 2v1, but its not something you want to brag about because it really just tells everyone you couldn’t win the fight otherwise….
In a previous match up before the leagues, when SBI was on a low, the true heart of the SBI vets showed. They did not complain, were generous and well mannered, and tenacious in the field despite their lower numbers.
I have not forgotten that. I doubt the YB old hands have. I don’t think that Darth Bully is representative of your Server’s WvW population at all.
If you feel that the other servers in this match up are bragging, keep in mind that it’s not so much bragging as a reaction to what they consider unfair comments. YB regulars have put in tremendous effort and time into pulling this off.
Some have pulled enormously long hours. I remember one prolific guild leader giving orders sleep drunk, until we told him to go to sleep.
The accusations of an outright coordinated alliance cheapen that. As has been stated before, Both servers have been focusing the top dog. From what I’ve seen the accusation has turned into a self fulfilling prophesy though. Both YB and EBay are now keen to see SBI come in last.
Pix
Yes. SBI is pushing hard now.
I Told you smack talking clowns before… You aren’t facing the true SBI force.
SBI consists predominantly of Americans and thus, Our Major American Holiday effects us far more than it effects you.
Talk all the Smack you want.. It’s not an excuse. It’s a Fact.
I’m excited to meet yaks or Ebay again. Without their puss-mode, scrub alliance….
and without the Holiday week mid match.You folks are in for a REAL treat : )
While Yaks and EB may have earned their place in the same category as SBI. They simply cannot beat us Straight up.
Straight up is the Full force of SBI vs the Full force of Yaks or EB.
They couldn’t beat us in the past.
Enjoy your opportunistic victory…
Hope to see you both… REAL soon.
Onmicidal SBI.
Hi mr Darth Sir!
Allow me to educate you on the nature of facts! A fact is not actually a fact until it’s proven. With evidence. Not by asserting, wishing really hard or bellowing really hard will a fabrication become fact.
Having said that, you appear to imply that SBI is only dangerous when having overwhelming numbers, which seems an odd thing to brag about. To me your post reads like:‘Just wait until I find you alone and I got my mates to back me up’.
If you feel that population made the difference, then why do you have a problem with the opposing servers turning their lower population weakness into a strength by focussing your server?
Logically yours,
Pix
yb can we form an alliance? pls respond
Sure, just transfer to Ebay. Thank you for you interest.
You’re simply being focussed by the other two servers. By YB, because you are the biggest threat, and by Ebay because you’re the soft target. Your command and control failed at reset, allowing YB to keep your structures papered and offering Ebay a more inviting target than the sieged up tier3 keeps of YB with scouts present at all times.
Learn to protect what you have. Open with a Karma Train and you’ll find yourself on the backfoot against servers with populations large enough to contain you.
Coron Bale from TSym wrote an interesting article about grand strategy in WvW. Go read it.
As a final note, the patronising tone chosen by some SBI forumwarriors has done quite a bit to make SBI a high profile target. By all means, keep banging on with your conspiracy theories; It won’t help you improve as a server, however.
Jubei, FA will be jubilant to face your superior open field skills next week. I’m looking forward to reading all the praise FA is bound to heap on you.
Well played db on dbbl bay ninja while 8000 ( ok SEEMED that many) kept us occupied on north gate. We were all wtf?
LOL yeah, we had some fun fights. Omega power! You guys portal bombed us at the sometime they were flipping inner
Also, shoutout to [SE]! Good fights! Haven’t seen ya on YB before but we had some good times
[SE] is our new secret weapon! We grew these supersoldiers in pods in our super secret reseach facility. If your screen starts to flicker green when engaging them that’s just their awesomeness overwhelming your monitor’s capabilities to deal with that much win.
Need moar PVF here
DB’s NA time is terribad. And Oceanic crew, having supply problems in YBBL?
NSP gave up Saturday morning. Even your roaming groups are MIA.
Discuss.
There goes my respect for Loot, didn’t know you guys have this kind of guild leader. Members should join ONE guild. They know what they are doing and still humble about it.
Hey David, Kronyx was taking a tongue in cheek jab at the normal drama going on in match up threads like these. As a commander, he’s one of our most levelheaded and down to earth guys.
Hope that cleared it up for you. Have fun!
Same here. Aussie, tremendous lag in most areas of the game, with the krytan zones the worst. I don’t dare going into WvW like this.
Game is unplayable with an average of 4s lag on skill use. Lag started after Oct 29th patch.
Like the poster above me, I still suffer from constant lag and disconnects. I had no such issue before the patch.
This lag also occurs in areas not part of the new content.
Hai Cyrus,
I’d recommend PMS from the ones listed. they’re a solid passionate group of people with a Yak’s heart. RevX is the best!
I’d normally plug my own mob here, but judging by your needs we wouldn’t be as good a fit as PMS would be.
Good luck with your search!
before today, look at the logs at who has flipped ebays stuff, it’s been 99% BP
Yak’s and Ebay haven’t attacked each other than the token camp/free tower.you get the points, but you needed an alliance to do it, you both know who will win 1v1 when these leagues are over and you can’t get an alliance.
Y-Bay enjoy your win knowing you needed a lot of help from another server to do it.
Sure buddy, whatever makes defeat more palatable to you.
There seems to be a direct correlation between the size of a match’s blowout, and the percieved competence of the dominating server.
EBay is roflstomping like YB and they are gaining rating, while YB is not.
Your logic is flawed.
You equate rating with perception.
Your logic is flawed.

First of all i can and will blame the players. They dont have to call in back up because they are losing when jumping someone because they are bad. They do it because they are bad.
Right now There is about 50 yaks spawn camping my sever in EB with all kinds of siege from Ballistas, to catas. They do that because they are bad and also i guess no one on their server discourages the behavior. Now most of the people that are doing that are low rank, so we can assume about 60-80% of them are PVE fairweathers. What excuse does the rest have?
The devs didnt tell you to play the way you are playing, no they havent done nothing to stop it or fix the myriad of problems but all that i listed comes down to player behavior.
Im not sure how the spawn has been looking at ET but that all is just pathetic.
I completely understand that there wont be fair fights, but you would think that on a server your size that there would be at least a good number of roamers out, i mean you have everything what use is sticking in big blobs if not to jump people?
Seems like you’re not having fun, and I’m sorry for that. I would say your best bet to find a few good roaming fights is to play later, when the largest zergs have disipated, and you’re more likely to find roamers.
I had a nice 3 way fight yesterday between an ET ele, SF mes and my own Necro. After the ele went down I dropped two wells on the mes and got him to 25%. Then Oz internet struck and I lagged for long enough to resume control at 10%, with the clever mes finishing me before I could recover.
Yaks has some sad sad “roamers”. I log in and go to ET Bl today and see one of my servermates getting jumped by 3 ppl from yaks near out spawn. We end up killing 2 and a few more come, and then a few more until its about 3 vs 10.
I die and so do the rest of my crew, respawn go out to where they are and we end up killing most this time with the rest running away. They keep running until they call in back up and about 10 more people come, we get jumped, you know the rest.
Respawn again and this time there is 2vs2, Yaks try to gang up on one person to burst him down, fail thief tries to heartseek spam and gets down and they call in a third from their guild [AI] right when they are losing.
If this is the type of scrub behavior you guys do at Yaks Bend(Besides spawn camping) then i see no real reason for anyone from ET or SF to seriously play this week.
If you do have some serious roamers, great, but so far i haven’t seen any yet.
You appear to expect fair fights in open world combat against a server that outnumbers you and is spoiling for anything to do.
Unbalanced matchups is not fertile ground for roaming. You can blame the players, or the developers that created the situation.
BTW – I have seen it on both sides and I do feel for those that had to face us when we were the big daddy server of the match. The win just does not feel the same. Wouldn’t you agree, Yaks? (lol).
Agreed. I feel that spawncamping is a direct result from population disparity and the resulting boredom that comes with it.
I don’t think it helps in anyway, since spawncamping is just as boring, not to mention offensive to the side being spawncamped.
Dear Beyonder,
No one cares, sweetie.
Bloody random matchups. Horrible week for you guys, boring week for us, with us likely to grow lazy and losing our edge just before season 1 starts. Thanks Anet.
Hope you guys can still get some decent fights.
1. Yak’s Bend has the numbers/coverage advantage in this matchup.
2. Yak’s Bend is, relatively speaking, one of the worst open field servers we’ve fought.
Yep. Yak’s is horrible and can only zerg. That’s the rote line whenever you lose in WvW after all.
I’ll give NSP the credit though, they’ll keep fighting.
If anyone’s wondering why they don’t have a wp in SM, Lowlands, hills, and bay for a long time, if your wondering why you don’t have your fully upgraded towers in ebg, if your wondering who it was, it was me. I took almost everything that Yak’s owned last night. And I’m not afraid to do it again. I took Lowlands/SM/Your Towers/Your Home repeatedly last night. And you know who you are, if you want to mess with me again, when you wake up, and look at the map, all your keeps will have wp’s in them. Consider this a warning. ~Walnut of Ehmry Bay (That post above mine, you don’t want to be next)
OMG, you’re adorable! Can I take it home?
Alright guys! Kaineng not dead! great fight ahead!
FIRST DAY OF KAINENG! HUZZAH!
Your thread is that way.
Could you two be any more obvious about teaming up against EB in EBG? Taking our north and south entrances on ol, yaks coming to the aid of nsp at vel, not attacking each other…sheesh if you two love birds are going to have date night at our OL at least take some breath mints first and freshen up your game enough to get in.
Fun times regardless
Golden, thanks. You totally called it, Rena.
If ya’ll want to constantly complain about being outnumbered then why is it that when I and one other go roaming that you (YB) haul your coward behinds until you can find the numbers to come back at least 2v6. This notwithstanding that you haven’t been able to beat us unless its been 2v8. If this is the way you play, you deserve everything you get this week.
Uh, maybe we could try not to throw anecdotal statements around? Your generalisation has been disproved in the Vids above you, anyway.
I personally haven’t seen any small group SBI around, but guess what, that means nothing, since it’s anecdotal evidence.
You will continue to encounter people complaining about population differences when fighting servers with substantially lower populations. If you are unable to cope with that, your best bet might be not reading match up threads.
Thanks for your perspective, Ashes. can’t help but notice that nobody seems particularly impressed by Beyonder’s vid. After watching it, I saw why.
I had expected something spectacular; instead it’s a coordinated guild group wiping uplevel militia. Not sure what’s bragworthy about that.
I fully understand though after yesterday why you guys are even in a match up with us.. honestly wldn’t mind getting u guys for a second week.. gonna miss smackin’ around a rank 13 server :/
I’m going on a limb here and say that you are unlikely to speak for anyone else.
I don’t think you should be proud of beating Yak’s Bend. It’s like saying that you beat a paraplegic at a footrace. Not impressive at all against a server who loses 50% of its population once Monday rolls around.
Thank you for the demonstration how trolling should be done, Protbot! You seem to have missed that he’s celebrating taking a single keep instead of beating YB, but I see where you would get that idea with your particular frame of reference.
Still, high amusement value, thanks!
Sounds like your server’s WvW population is really rather low if you don’t recognise karmatrains when you see them.
Regardless, if taking the T3 keep felt like a win in a dismal week for all involved, good on ya.
#Evil Empire
Uh. I should say something suitably two dimensionally Evil here, I guess.
‘Join the Karmatrain Luke, I am your father.’
Sincerely hope you have more fun next week! <3
Hey HoD and SF,
I understand that this must be a very frustrating matchup for you guys, YB’s WvW population has been there. For what it’s worth, I haven’t even heard of any of the named and shamed YB guilds mentioned, and they are not representative of YB WvW.
Blowouts like this tends to bring out a lot of new bloods that tend to do their own thing, for better or worse. Please don’t tar our whole community with the same brush.
Alternatively, please refer to YB as ‘The Evil Empire’. That’s a thing.
Apparently.
Thanks BP.

Shout out to the single KN D/P thief (think you were CNB?) We encountered in CDBL. We couldn’t kill you, you couldn’t kill us, but we both killed any CD that tried to come between us. You ended up following us around for a bit.
GG!
Your sense of humour seems to have been damaged when your ego was bruised. Please fix both.
I never said they did. However, I’d argue that they do in fact stand a chance against the 6th ranked server and the 5th ranked server. We are not trying to only ever match you up against your closest comparable server.
What leads you to believe the current #12 would stand a chance against the current #6?
The last 3 meetings between YB and DB all ended in a minimum 100k win for DB, if my memory serves me correctly. YB’s organised population hasn’t increased since then.
A chance against the bigwigs could be fun; repeated trashings by servers many times more populous than your own tends to take the fun out of it after a while.
Sorry to the rest of NSP if you feel you get unduly focused by the other servers; the attitude displayed by [XOXO] is probably kitten ing off both YB and SBI.
If these guys had social skills to match their button mashing skills they’d be regarded as gentlemen.
…
…..
……..
Yeah, nice button mashing skills.
That’s some witty retorts right there, [XOXO]. Wake me up when you got something good? I’ll be napping behind my Arrow Cart.
[XOXO] Trolling 101 still going strong, I see. And I do apologise to whatshisface when he said we we’re obviously playing for second. it’s all in the score. You called it, buddy.
I’ll have to see if I can schedule some time to join one of our Militia zergs to zerg right over your superior skill group. Don’t forget to remind your guildies over voip how leet you are whilst hammering #4 in downstate.
Yak’s Bend has faced plenty of Servers with actual skill groups. [XOXO] isn’t one of them. Unless you count forumwarrioring.
Such a familiar site this week. do you guys ever get tired of zergs n siege + hiding in the towers ?
In other words, we play WvW?
Ok , just checking , so its the SbI norm to hide in a tower when facing 4 people.
Thank you for letting me know that is “your style wvw”.I sit spam you more now, ty.
XOXO must be the type of guild that hunts down uplevels in packs of 4, then puts youtube videos up to show 1337 sauce they are? Keep on keeping on gentlemen.
[XOXO] is the [CHAR] of NSP, from what I’ve seen so far. I bet they troll their own server mates too.
Hi Beefcake!
I’m Pix, one of the GLs for The Society [SCTY] on Yak’s Bend. We’re an active medium sized guild with a reputation for being friendly, patient and helpful. We are active in all areas of the game, from PvE to SPvP and WvW.
We’re international, but NA heavy, so there should always be someone there to play with. If you’re keen on using voip, we also have a 100 slot Mumble channel, but this is not mandatory.
There’s very little that is mandatory, apart from being nice to people. If this interests you, you can contact me in game, or have a look at our recruitment thread at www.yaksbend.com: http://www.yaksbend.com/index.php/topic,1732.0.html
Regardless whether you choose to go with us or not, there are plenty of great guilds you can reach through www.yaksbend.com. Good luck with your search!

There was one saying Minsc would always say, but I can’t remember the full of it for the life of me:
“Sharpened, X, and raring to go.” What was the X?Gotta say I miss hearing Boo’s squeaks in response to his master. Or was Minsc the pet?
I’ve looked around but couldn’t find the quote, although it sounds familiar. I thought it might have been Lilarcor, but couldn’t find that either.
