Ferg’s defenders props to all of you for your back and forth with us all day. You finally got shadaran hills from us again after 5 hours. Props to all of the guilds on your side that showed up and got big.

Also, good job preventing us from holding your orb for too long. Really appreciate the hard work everyone put in. Let’s keep these fights going!

Added some SS from the time we took the keep to the defense of the keep to taking of several towers.

said it before will say it again, we don’t need outside help. We will improve and grow as the game goes on and we will be better off if we do it ourselves

stop trying to invite another large guild to carry us – we are the solution to our own problem

for two days we’ve held keeps for over 2-3 hours and 1/3 of any given map…we can only go up from here

let’s get this done and stop whining to others to come do it for us

smaller pop servers get crushed until they can reach higher pop. us vs devonas with one of the battlegrounds blocked out would be fun…then the numbers for the battlegrounds that are available would rise <- just a possible suggestion

still fun for me either way, but I do see your point

It might take weeks, but we don’t need guilds to transfer here and have us ride their backs to a win. We can do this ourselves, and I want to prove it.

That’s all I’m going to add to this conversation.

Formal Challenge to Titan Alliance

How would this be any different than the server they are already on?

They join people flock to kaineg, kaineg wins but its just like any other server.

I respect TA, but instead of asking for help let’s rise to the challenge, teach the new players that come into our server, and get better by ourselves. I am sick of this begging and whining on the forums guys. Sack up. Let’s get in contact with each other, play together, and have fun.

Since creating the guild, there has not been a time where I haven’t had a good time on voip. There has never been a time where a fellow guildie has refused to help, and there has not been flaming or raging in our gchat or voip.

So if a drama free guild doesn’t have your attention…

We also do spvp tournaments, wpvp (just expect our members to listen), events as a group, and dungeons galore.

If you aren’t good at pvp, we usually all flood into several mists servers and have in guild pvp where we practice and get better for wvw and tournaments.

If you are interested just contact me in game. We only accept players 18 and over and encourage players to rep / keep our guild drama free.

If you’re a player or a small guild and you’re interested in joining us and strengthening our numbers so we can take the fight to other servers in wvw, contact smilingknight in game or anyone with a KWBH tag next to their name.

We appreciate your time. Remember the most important rule of MMOs, have fun!

haha you make us sound so bad … I mean maybe good for recruiting but we have a lot of fun in wvw and we manage to take a lot on any given day the trick is to play smarter not harder and as time goes on more people will emerge

kaineg players have a unique opportunity to build from the ground up and get practice against 2:1 to 3:1 odds

I don’t know about you but KWBH wants those odds and wants that kind of challenge. You can only get better playing against the odds. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

On Botting and What We’re Doing About It

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: SniffyCube.6107

SniffyCube.6107

Guys, I’ve posted here a few times and I have been trying my best to monitor how many bots are springing up. I have taken 10-15 minutes of every time I log in just to go around reporting any new bots I see and taking screen shots, but I have been seeing the same bots for a month. It’s really demoralizing when the same guys are just patrolling or tping around. I haven’t seen any of the common bots banned… in fact, there are now more bots on kaineg than ever before. Don’t get me wrong, I love my server and this is a great game and all but watching all of the bots spring up day by day is a little much for me. powerful blood is at an all time low, and don’t tell me it’s not because of the bots… 2 people selling over 200 of them? yeah right. What I did is I sent in a support ticket with the screen shots of every group of gold farming bots I could find in the most common areas. I hope by spending some of my time we can clean up this server and make this a little less ridiculous.

getting rid of orb bonus for outnumbered servers

I don’t see the validity of your arguments. We’re the two lowest pop servers in north america. The third is always a medium population. If you want proof go there and look for yourself. No queues, ever. It would be nice if there was anyone to afk.

It’s hard enough to take a totally reinforced keep with 50 people max in your battleground, harder when the enemy outnumber you 2:1 at least and each has like 100 extra stats.

if you don’t want to do this at least consider putting us against devona’s rest and closing the one which would have been borlis pass borderlands
that would also help with balancing

just took me 10 minutes to report over 40 bots on kaineg, the easy way to get rid of 90% of the bots = actually going in game and going to popular botting locations

… I mean, I can’t even do orr events anymore because there are 15 bots or more at each location

so, us and devonas got put into wvw again which is fine we’re both low pop servers but we try however we got put in with borlis pass who on a good day outnumber us 2 to 1

that being said, they usually zerg everything on day 1 with their numbers and then reinforce / build the upgrades

this is great and all but it also means they hold all of the orbs

recently, we had a guy go over to borlis and we found out why, even working together with devonas, we can’t take anything back

the warrior, who was a pure glass cannon with nothing extra was rocking almost 30k hp and hitting harder than the hulk

so, I ask you to consider, since we are outnumbered already, how do orb bonuses work in our favor? they don’t. they simply keep us from ever taking anything back and a lot of the guilds have already given up on wpvp because of it

Guild Bank suggestion

Posted by: SniffyCube.6107

SniffyCube.6107

not if it was extra % on top of what you loot

like let’s say you loot 10c

you still loot 10c only 1c goes to the gbank

so you have 10c and gbank has 1c

encourages more people to join guilds / pays for repairs / and helps players progress… sounds win-win to me

How about a % of what everyone loots goes to the guild bank… an extra % so the guilds can not only help with influence but they can also help players with repairs and buying items to help them progress.

arenanet < typo
have you guys even watched a team of good mesmers… I mean not average but good…? then you’d know they need serious nerfing with their CDs and illusion spam

I can get on my mes and roll people like crazy but if you’re playing another class you have to beat one down because their last stand is ridiculous

and don’t get me started on how they can strip boons and apply conditions

in tournaments they are the complete package maybe this should be looked at?

SniffyCube.6107

guys, not only do you have to get rid of bots, you have to fix the damage they are doing, esp to the market and gem store the flood of gold to the market has driven the trading for gems to gold way way up because no one is buying gems and converting to gold, and more importantly… we need to get rid of the flood of items the bots are putting on the market. prices have been driven so low they are almost not worth selling for most things at this point … prices need to be readjusted or everything is going to be selling for npc price.

I suggest once you really hit the bots hard and limit them to maybe 20ish % of what they are now you buy up everything in the market at rock bottom rates

player demand should drive things back up – right now thousands of bots playing for 24 hours a day farming up mats is really killing it

so we have a banner we want to put in the start area so players can get a little boost, not letting us do this at all, even set someone else as leader and had them try… also still not able to access the bank – telling me I’m not in a guild (and yes I am repping…lol)

saw something about this earlier forgot to bookmark it

Bots Really Hurting the Game

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: SniffyCube.6107

SniffyCube.6107

Hey, I didn’t know where else to turn because I am getting a little frustrated with reporting the same bots day in and day out and seeing them farm week after week. I really hope you guys are taking this seriously because its becoming an epidemic. Not only is it hurting the game economy its also hurting gem prices because most of these bots are tied to gold selling sites which sell cheaper than GW. So a player has no reason to buy gems from you guys he can just buy from the sites. Furthermore, it gives these sites way more reason to spam and bot, also lowering prices on some things that players use to make money on. I don’t know if anyone else is seeing scores of bots and being spammed by at least four gold selling mails a every few hours or if its just my server but a more aggressive stance really has to be taken.

If you were to put a mod on an account and just go to a popular farming spot like in frostgorge sound you could nail at least 10-15 bots at any time during the day.

Guys, please step it up – it’s hurting the integrity of the game.
