AC is the only saving grace for servers constantly outnumbered in the morning, without it there is no chance of holding your keep.
The 1 percenters won’t be happy until they have drained the last drop of blood from capitalism. While there is no need for alarm yet, neither is there room for apathy, corporations have proven over and over that they own politicians and will use them to their advantage.
Not only should this NOT be done, I think the game would be better off if AP totals were hidden entirely.
Give this person a cookie
How would this help at all? Someone like myself who plays mainly wvw and pvp have a way lower AP score then any one that PvEs, does this make my opinion less valid in some way? Why do people always look for some way to dismiss others out of hand instead of by the content of there ideas?
The most hardcore WvW players have at least 5k ap just from doing WvW and hardly no pve at all.
One of my guild mates is WvW level 750 something. His ap is 10.5k.
Those numbers don’t add up at all. I have a fairly high wvw rank and without pve my ap would be very low.

Because MMO’s always breed elitism and a few will always think they are better than everyone around them, based upon what they did in a video game. It’s both sad and hilarious.
AP scores are absolutely irrelevant to everything except the individual whose account it is. It is not a measure of how good a player you are or why your opinion is more valid.
You don’t own the server, you don’t pay a monthly sub for it, you have no proprietary rights to it whatsoever. So ‘guesters’ as you call them, are just players like you who are entitled to utilize the tools the designers added to the game to enjoy the game as they want. But as I said in a previous post about Deso Teq, get there an hour early and be prepared to block alot of Deso players who insult you and your mother for being ‘guest scrubs’.
I play alot but in general I don’t have a high opinion of the game. It is a good filler while I wait for other games. I enjoy WvW but it is a matter of numbers and not skills and waking up to all the night capping has taken away almost all interest in the activity. Farming for items is boring and tedious with laughably low drop rates on everything, waste of time. Dungeons I find fun but after awhile whats the point…for skins that are hideous at best? The classes are ‘meh’ at best. Only a few are well thought out. The one saving grace for me is the guild I am in is very social so I have a sense of community.
Desolation does it everyday starting at noon (cet), need to get there an hour early and as a guest be prepared to block alot of desolation people who feel the need to insult you and your mother for being ‘invaders’ or ‘guest scrubs’.
So, I’d just like to say Happy New Year to all. And a special Happy New Year’s to Gandara for this tick. Excellent work.
Gandara doesn’t have the locust like numbers of your server, which seems to have 24 hour blobbing. Player for player though, I will take Gandara players over Deso anyday. Every time we meet your blobs during the day in fair fights it is fun, so many Deso bodies and loot bags-makes a girl feel all tingly inside. Anet really gave your server a gift with this idiotic match up system, if you ever meet a server with the same locust horde, you are doomed.
I dont mind if you are a gold or silver league server, you are just boring as hell
You make it sound as though Gandara are good, you cant even blob good unless AR have your back, outnumbered and were still 30k ahead of you, thats embarrassing lol
Amusing stuff. Gandara has outnumbered buff or no queue until afternoon while Deso blobs all night and takes everything while we sleep. But during the day when numbers are even Deso gets rolled. The only saving grace your server has is the locust numbers, it sure isn’t skill.
Obviously they would need implement it with safeguards, try to use some imagination.
Outnumbered Buff is pretty worthless. I would love to see instead, that when outnumbered, Mystic NPC’s spawn and put a barrier around the servers keep to prevent it from falling. It is beyond tedious to have keeps fall to servers with high overnight populations. One DE server loves to take the keeps and then camp people leaving the entrance area. How can that be considered fair or fun.
Every morning the same thing, wake up to find some hyper active all night server owns all of WvW, then try to make slight gains during the day. Worst game design team ever.
I rather enjoyed Season 1, regardless of the problems so I would vote for another season. It was fun, a game is for fun, rest is non issue for me.
I think that server keeps should be invulnerable if your server has the outnumbered buff, tired of seeing a grossly outnumbering zerg take our keep during early morning hours then camping us at the spawn point to prevent us from moving only because of their numbers.
My husbands account has been hacked and the log in and email info changed, how do we get this back?
Things don’t get fixed thru apathy, they get fixed by players voicing their concerns and they do that via the forums.
80 Ranger-80 Elementalist 4/10
Mainly because Everquest is pretty much dead and the bot farmers/gold sellers always make their profits off of NEW games. EQ doesn’t have a large enough population to support gold farming it anymore and it’s a whole lot easier to make plat in EQ now than ever before.
You have no clue what you are talking about. Everquest is the only title that has lasted 13 years and is still going (yes its not as large). There has NEVER been bots farming around. Anyone suspected of gold farming got banned if proven as well. Everquest was also one of the most populated games for many years. If you truly want to defend botting or defend apathy towards botters then I agree with the above poster.
It doesn’t change at high levels, they are everywhere. Go to the camps in Cursed Shore that have events and you will find them teleporting all over them.
Don’t try elementalist unless you are a masochist.
I report bots nonstop and yet they remain. If they remain much longer I won’t, simple as that. Which is a shame as I enjoy the game otherwise, but I have 2 level 80s and not a gold between the two since the bots have caused antifarm codes to ruin money making ability. I’ve played Everquest since its launch 13 years ago and don’t recall ever seeing a bot there, why are they so abundant here?
I have been reporting a bot army for awhile now and yet they remain, so I doubt it.
I have no desire to play BotWars, which this game seems to be in the pve areas. I have already resubbed a former MMO. I like this game and will come back to it, once the bots are eliminated and that annoying drop penalty removed.
This game was fun but now its just not worth playing. Everywhere I go there are more bots than players, I can’t earn enough coins or get enough drops to craft gear with, the cost of moving around using waypoints is too high versus how much money is gained in pve. There are just too many negative things that far outweigh the positives in this game to make it enjoyable. Is their programming so shoddy that they cannot do anything about botting or is the botting an internal stream of cash?
