XOXO are by far the best mesmer guild there is. If you are a mesmer main i’d suggest learning from them.

Does help to be one of the best classes in WvW too

True, but try fighting with your mesmer, i tried and failed :/

It is because of the free transfers, and fairweather players like yourself that we have such massive server imbalances in the first place

being on hod, i can confirm that you are deliberately being double teamed. my hubby has a stash of screenies of various commanders telling people to stop attacking gom because we are apparently working together.

<- this persons guild does not approve of the situation

Please contact me in-game. I would like to have those screenshots please.
The ONLY way for HoD and GoM to reclaim their merit is to name and shame those commanders which did this.

And GoM please consider the following. you team up with the winning server, higher pop server, which is already on its way to t6… leaving you behind in t7…with us… and i can promise you. It will not be fun for you.

MIMIMI you are only not saying that in the first 3 hours of match you guys did exactly the same.

You are going to deny that in the first 3 hours both HoD and NSF only attacked the GoM side?(not kidding not even their supply camps was hit)

yes, im actually coding the video from last night right now shows us running between WC and QL the whole time And us eventually taking anz and if im not mistaken mendons? or that could have been this morning, i forget :/ And thank you very much for the tactic compliment.

And just to be clear. Good for HoD for getting the transfers! I could care less about them zerging with 80 players, i just don’t like the teaming up that we’ve been hearing about all morning. But hey, i’ve calmed down and taken it as a compliment, 2v1=automatic win no matter what the score is XD

This morning.
You guys weren’t attacking HoD at a point that you left them build 10+ golems, we have report of 25 like i’ve said.

That’s “at least” 1000 supplies. A full camp can hold 250 supplies if maxed and generate 10 supplies every 30 secs. Let’s say they had 2 camps maxed and used supplies from both. It means 1000 – 500 supplies = 500/10 (amount of times the camp need to generate) 50/2(one minute = 2 ticks in supplies) 25/2( 2 camps) = 12,5 minutes.

But they hadn’t 2 camps maxed because you guys were attacking them right? so it would take 20 mins + just to build the golems.

So you guys left them without being touched for AT LEAST 12 min. Because you guys didn’t seen the golems being build.

Yeah… sure you guys were putting a hell of effort hitting HoD. We were doubleteamed and didn’t lose our keep you guys did. deal with it.

Edit: Just explainning/fixing the math

Hard to argue with all that maths!

EDIT: Just for my own vanity/pride sake, while we were on. the keep did not fall.. HoD got to inner with the ungodly number of golems, but we killed them all, then picked off the GoM stragglers trying to come back inside. But alas it was 5 am for me and late for others in the guild, so after 5 hours of killing (and dying-klovan…HOW MANY CATS DO YOU NEED??!) we went to bed

I can state with moderate certainty that it was not a planned “double team” on NSP. I logged in for a bit to try out the new no culling patch and we were defending a tower from GoM, so apparently those two zergs didn’t know about this team-up.

Please see the screenshots posted of HoD and GoM zergs standing next to each other not attacking, and a player from HoD posting here that he/she is ashamed from their own server.

There isn’t much I can tell from the picture other than lots of red names. But I do see the post, and I stand by my statement that it was not planned, at the very least not by the majority. I’ll throw some other thoughts at you.

A) Why blame the server in it’s entirety for actions of a few? I myself was caught in this same spot one time. Members of a server used an exploit to take a keep, and I went on a tirade saying how the entire server was to blame. Is that right? No. There are both good and bad people on the servers, a small sample does not represent the total. As a side note, we’ve had more than our share of transfers lately, I wouldn’t be surprised if we had some people coming in simply to ruin the reputation of the server. As I said, both good and bad people everywhere.

B) It’s war. It’s a game. If the perceived best course of action for two sides mutual gain is to team up, then that’s going to happen. As I said, when I did log in we were fighting GoM, so obviously we weren’t just ignoring each other as you claim.

I see your frustration and understand it, but it’s foolish and childish to create such drama over this. The majority of people I’ve met in gw2 are grown adults, please act like it.

And move on for goodness sake.

I do agree that it was the actions of a few (if not one) that lead to these unfortunate events. But i also understand that WvWvW has 3 sides for a reason. and that is so that you constantly have to watch your back. Not stand idly by with an enemy server in another enemy server’s spawn.
When i logged on myself i did not see any of the teaming up going on to such an extent, but then again i slept for 6 hours, just because you didt not see it hapen does not mean it did not happen. But when 100’s of people (from all 3 servers) are saying that it happened, it most likely happened.

Hey i prefer to fight two servers, if you want to fight just one enemy team go sPvP

JKFlipFlop.7123:

As a GoM player that usually spends my time in the BLs rather than EB, I can not comment on the specifics of what happened in EB last night, but I definitely frown upon any pre-meditated truce between GoM and HoD. I am sorry that NSP had to deal with that last night.

Thank you sir.

Azaruil.3406:

Instead of crying about it, perhaps you guys should have done something about it.

Pull all your troops out of EB and move them to a different borderland. If there had been no one to spawn camp, they would have most likely fought each other which would have meant that large portions of GoM and HoD would have been occupied with each other in EB.

The large influx of players on a BL would have meant that you could regain all the lost points of EB quite quickly. So next time, take advantage of a situation that would force your enemies to fight each other, while you can go off for easy pickings somewhere else.

Agreed that would have perhaps been a better strategy. But are you honestly defending openly, this sort of cary-on?

Every server gets double teamed!

---

NSP and HoD have double teamed GoM. GoM and NSP have double teamed HoD. GoM and HoD have double teamed NSP. If you cannot remember all of this happening, then you either don’t pay attention or your memory sucks.

The difference between a wining team and a losing team is this: How do you handle being double teamed?

I understand that it sucks when you cannot win because you are being double teamed. You can come to the forums and yell at people for their “shameful” actions. Or you can fight to the last man to slow them down. The double team will shift again soon enough.

Completely disagree. My lovely and noble server NSP is not upset because we were accidentally double teamed. That happens from time to time naturally. We’re rightly outraged because this was a PLANNED double-team where GoM and HoD commanders were specifically telling their troops NOT to attack each other, where GoM and HoD where HANGING OUT next to each other and camping our spawn point. Not only is this completely unethical and dishonorable, it also breaks the game’s intentions for WvW. I used to think GoM and HoD were decent servers with good people. It was a relief not to fight AR. But now? I’ve lost all respect for GoM and HoD. Here at NSP we value a good clean fight. Our commanders would never do anything so low. I call on those decent, honorable players in HoD and GoM, of which I know there are many, to speak out against this kind of behavior in your player base. You can still save your reputations by getting it together and playing the game as it was intended. It’s up to the good, honest commanders on GoM and HoD to make sure this doesn’t happen again or the stain of this knavish dishonor will follow you around through whatever tiers you’re in.

This attached pic was when I logged on last night and saw the shameful situation.

Exactly, said better than I ever could. Accidental/Situation double teaming is an accepted fact, sure NSP/GoM/HoD all complain about being double teamed, but show me one NSP player that will come to the WvW forums and apologise for their server’s behaviour when their own commander are shouting at them and telling them NOT* to attack the enemy.

Wow, I’m Ashamed to be a player on HoD right now.. That was disgusting what I witnessed. Having commanders bark orders to NOT ATTACK the enemy is down right wrong. then proceed to SPAWN CAMP…… DISGUSTING.. you guys should all be ashamed.

Absolutely Disgusting behaviour from HoD and GoM commanders. I admit that when i command , i will watch out for heavy fights between HoD and GoM and use that distraction to make some ground. But never. Have I or any other NSP commander that is recognised by the server, have ever been so desperate for points that we would team up with the enemy and camp spawn in 2 LARGE zergs and not touching each other. That is just plain sad. I feel sorry for those HoD and GoM players and commanders who did not partake in this incident, but your servers have both lost my respect and many of those fighting for NSP glory.

If there are any guilds on HoD and GoM that are disgusted by their servers behaviour, consider joining NSP, we might not be in a higher tier, and have forum trolls, but at-least we have some honour left. And our WvW guilds will consider financial aid to any sizable guild that wishes to transfer.

Its a shame HoD and GoM resulted to such pitiful tactics, we broke their first attempt at our keep rush at around 4+hrs after reset. obviously they made a second reattempt when we were gone from the map.

Absolutely amazing fights tonight (all 3 servers were double teamed at some stage! )
Wewere doing really well with our mini zerg buster group until (what it seemed like) GoM and HoD poured into 2 large zergs, and hit us from both sides.
Some epic defence play saw us push back both forces a bit, losing klovan but defending WC.
Eventually HoD took our SM without a report of an attack ever being present…. hacks?…no..golems…lots of golems (how many?) They proceeded to our keep and quickly melted outer and inner gates! We we all but ready to go to be when the call came in! but sadly GoM was in front of our keep and wouldnt let us in for some odd reason, just kept hitting us :/ so after we pushed them away we got into the lord room just as inner fell.
Good golem rush guys. there was so many! sadly I was fighting for so long i didnt have the chance to ever pick up my bags from the lord room
It does seem like HoD got FAR more numbers than they had previously, good for them! but we no likie zerg battles, too much skill lag So if you are gonna head to t6, may the froth be with you!
Good night and Great fights all!

NSP is a great server imo (obviosuly biased :P ) But we have several dedicated guilds working together, constant communication. We seem to have lower numbers than HoD and GoM at this moment, due to some x-fers but we are holding ground! and taking theirs! NSP never give up the fight
Theres always something happening, albeit mid-day EU time usually suffers. NSP rarely do heavy zergs (maybe a little more now with the patch) , we prefer smart play

Also NSP SHOULD* have FREE transfers when our population dips during the downtime hours. which is usually 7am-12pm GMT somewhere in that region.

I actually do drop aoe food buffs in wvw… i mean its bread atm, but if yu xfer we’ll bring cookies and pie

do you really need more people…? really?
http://i.imgur.com/xtt5Mhy.jpg

Im just jelly of your free xfers, gluck!
But yeah with the culling gone, we can no see the extent of the battle lol! awesome fights yesterday

I missed being red from our weeks and weeks with BP/AR stalemate, so me and my friends decided to go visit our much beloved garrison to the far north…
But when we got there there were some unfriendly thugs there which attacked us, we wanted to report it to the keep lord so we made our way there, but he too had gone mad! He charged at us and we had no choice but to defend ourselves. But then the keep turned green all of a sudden, and it just felt …wrong.
So we decided to go to Etheron Hills to pay a visit to Uncle Charlie, but he too attacked us on sight! “Could it be us? Why dont they like us anymore?” we questioned.
We soon realised that HoD Borderlands was under an evil witch spell, and the only way to help was to cleanse thy land of its riches and corruption!
So we, being good neighbours helped, because i didnt look like any HoD were willing to fight for their home, we helped you liberate it!
It has now been cleansed with the power of righteousness! And is yours to reclaim.

Nice vid! Your golem coordination is terrible though :/
Fair kittens for doing this though! You can see me in the video (asura on the ac in lord room)
22 golems and a zerg vs 15 defenders that only arrived in the lord room :P we stood no chance :P

WoW, GoM. If that was one person funding all the golems i applaud you for your dedication to your server.
I was with a team of 10-15 in GoM BL when i got a call that there are 15+ golems in SM
By the time we got there you were in lord room. i basically exploded after a few AC hits on the golems.
Shame We killed them all then they left sm (well not all but the vast majority, i think maybe a few omegas escaped)
I counted 3 Omegas and 15ish alphas? but id love to hear the real number!
Thank you for the fun morning GoM (no sarcasm),

All they really have to do is make the stuff despawn like it is suppose to.

Other then that, what exactly can they do? Someone on your server made a bunch of siege? How do you design to stop that??

Players cant drop more then 2 siege every hour?? New transfers cant make siege for a month? Commanders can remove siege with a wave of the hand?? Players cant have 2 accounts on different servers? No one can transfer, ever.

I have yet to really read 1 idea someone has posted on how to stop this and thought hey that’s A good idea. Most of the ideas leave me thinking id rather have the trolls we have now.

Unless you are talking about remove the cap. And that could make things very interesting. And maybe a little ugly.

Oh i completely agree that its a very difficult thing to design around, people will always find a way to troll. But being stuck like this for the rest of the week is just an awful thought.

On saturday morning after reset, we noticed alot of siege just piled on in every corner of our keep, sure it looks kind of cool,
http://i.imgur.com/K40ImBR.jpg
but who ever did it, either didnt know, or did it intentionally, But this siege drop in Lowlands Keep on NSP Eternal Battlegrounds has made us completely unable to take anything.
Cant take SM with rams=cannot place siege here
Cant Defend SM by Catapulting trebs from HoD keep =cant place siege here
Cant Take anything basically=cannot place siege here.

you get the picture. I’m pretty sure i can speak for the whole server when i say that we want some sort of a reset of siege in EB, so we can at-least fight out the remainder of the week fairly, because this has been an issue for at-least 24 hours now, because somehow the siege keeps being refreshed.

There needs to be some sort of a measure to prevent this siege cap from being so permanent.

Thank you for your time,

Video of siege issue at SM, have others in other towers, we can basically just defend now, and at that only our keep since cant place siege to defend our own towers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skwSSKLKrLU&feature=youtu.be

Nodeninja.5321:

Honestly, considering the amount of bad blood that seems to exist between you guys (NSP) and your previous tier, I’m pretty shocked that the first instinct you had was to point fingers at GoM, a server you really know next to nothing about.

I do understand that a large portion of the accusations are just from frustrated kids who are mad because it seems their coverage advantage eroded a bit and thus so did their lead last week, but seriously guys… wouldn’t you rather lose something close like that then win by 50k?

Roughtimes.7138:

I would love to talk to the brilliant military mind behind this defensive set up in our keep. Bunched up so pretty like

I’m certainly not disputing that some troll messed up the siege for you guys. I AM taking issue with the fact that people are so quick to point fingers at their opponents, in this case my server, with absolutely zero grounds for doing so. We are playing an MMO, and a sad fact of life in MMO’s is people with internet courage who like to do things to cause the players around them grief. The first place you should be looking is in your own house, not ours.

i agree, we sholdnt point fingers without knowing anything for sure, but yeah i didnt see who placed the siege but i saw a guildless dude suiciding our golems :/ really wish we could /votekick people :/

Some amazing fun in EB last night, ZoS usually doesnt do EB but it seemed we were needed there, and infact arrived when HoD and GoM were both in courtyard and HoD in lordroom. Our t1 keep had no doors or walls… and we held it all night Some amazing work from our server, some huge pushes from HoD and GoM, its a shame you guys teamed up (i have confirmation from a friend commander on GoM) we (NSP) were really hoping to get some good clean fights in this tier, alas it seems like if two teams fight each other continuously for weeks some alliances may form. I know its not a bannable offence, but its just makes me lose respect for GoM and HoD and I really liked you guys!

TL:DR thanks for the almost a stack full of badges and loot bags, filled my inventory at least 5 times.

Bit of advice to HoD, stop hiding your mesmers in the inside of the water-gate when we had absolutely no walls or even doors… we were polite guests and let you in for tea and crumpets

Also a shout-out to everyone else in EB last night on NSP, wasn’t many but thank you all

Don’t be so sure about that a team up you mention. I was in WvW last night and for about an hour just now. Last night I spent most of my time on GoM borderland and this morning in ours taking out GoM groups. I’m also listening on the Ventrilo servers all the time and there is no mention of that.

I think every server has to stop this teaming up thing. Every server will be attacked from both others at some point in time. It’s a simple matter that there are three servers battling for the same space. I always find ridiculous when people talk about team ups, from all sides. Please stop this.

Oh yeah ofcourse i know it does happen unintentionally sometimes, but i know id wanna know if somone on nsp was working with the enemy, i just really would prefer a fair game :/
And i may have mispoken, i know that all of gom and hod didnt team up together, but perhaps some guilds did, and then the pugs just followed, but it just sucks :/

ZoS, Os, Envy, MoB, bots and everyone!

And some attached of the golem pilots.
Great fun <3

I would also like to say thank you to Noroz of AS for leaving us with a good setup.

And im sorry GoM (not as a server but the few that are complaining, im just too lazy to look up their names because /care) But YOU started with the whole screenshots in keeps while WE were posting score updates and a rare map pic.

As for PvD… just stop already please, you are embarrassing yourselves and your server (which i happen to like). When we logged in it was all blue, myself and rob are bot on GMT times, We were camped and fairly outnumbered…. just because you realised that we came into EB to fight back, you cant just say “ok lets everyone stop trying to fight them, because they will win, instead lets all leave and claim that they pvdoored us while we were asleep, it gives us a much better server image”

I will admit your numbers sucked by the time we took GoM keep, but for the hour prior to that your numbers were very equal to our own, but maybe after we took SM and a few towers some players lost morale. Or maybe they legitimately went to sleep but what do you want us to do? log off? Would you like to see the videos of your defenders actively trying to stop us? I don’t have them uploaded yet but if you so request I will.

As for hacks. no one on NSP actually thinks GoM hacks (except for trolls) We all recognise that there was a server glitch, unfortunately some people abused that glitch more than others, but a few does not a bad server make.

Can we all just stop the QQ and the hacks/spies/teaming up (not sure what gom and hod beef is, but trust me, NSP will fight both with equal respect, we never want a repeat of what happened to us)

I do notice that our downtime seems to correlate with GoM uptime and vica versa, that is unfortunate, But the keeps were by far not defenceless, 2 days ago we fought for almost 2 hours in GoM keep

Shame on the 2 GoM players from [Sans] Guild.
We were trying to duel you, 1 at a time, or even 2 on 2, but you kept retreating into the camp (Danelon) or tower (QL), we even allowed you to res when we downed you and your turned 2v1 when my partner went afk. bad form.

Darkothe.1253:

Lolz. Bragging rights for taking down doors of a server with a lower wvwvw population.

But…if it makes people feel better, then it’s all right by me. hands out gold stars

Just make sure that you don’t leave a mess in the towers when we re-claim everything later today. I mean really…some of you are very messy house guests.

You will have to pardon NSP they are having trouble grasping the new reality they find themselves in.

For so long they have been the underdog. The small server. So when they were posting about how good their small teams were. Or screen shots of them taking keeps. Or them turning a Borderland a certain color. It was cool. They were the scrappy underdog standing up to the big mean server.

Most of them don’t seem to have grasp the concept that they are the bully on the block now. Turned a bl all one color? Great you are suppose to. Winning? Great you are suppose to. Holding a keep against two servers? Pretty run of the mill when you out number them both. Camping a spawn? Par for the course. Great small teams?? Don’t matter anymore, your size will get it done without you.

I’m sure they will calm down. Eventually.

We can probably push and be back in t6 next week, but i honestly am enjoying the smaller fights more. and please dont call AR “the big mean server” BP deserve that title FAR more than you guys do.

Why are you even here? We’ll be back in t6 someday, We’ll chat then. k. thx. bai.

First post since we moved down a tier.

Hey all, small asuran guardian with jugger is moi
No we did not drop intentionally, albeit alot of people did take a a break from wvw because it had gotten to such a rediculous stage of double teaming.
I have nothing bad to say about BP, they actually fought fair. And i know people will post and say blah blah blah NSP QQ etc. But search the old threads and you’ll see pictures of both AR and BP spies on our server in party with invaders giving them info of our movements.
I know of one NSP “commander” who did work with BP to double team ar, but he was not a representative of the NSP WvW alliance of guilds, nor did he command a guild but pugs who knew no better.
I welcome a new fight, with GoM and HoD, you guys have alot of smaller forces (your reaction time needs a little work but maybe i just caught you in your offtime, apologies) It’s very refreshing to fight new opponents, new strategies to sauce out is always fun.

About the glitch, I dont hold it Against GoM as a Server, But [HH], cant wait to find you.

Spawn camping is also good in my books. I dont particularly like it but i dont condone it. Its not an overpowering strategy by any means as Bird has shown.

People mentioned that NSP camp the JP puzzle, I used to hate it but after fighting AR and BP for what seemed like eternity, you literally couldnt walk in there without being ready to sneak by the campers and port a big force in to take them out. Nothing else would do. Until the patch they loved setting up a kittentonne of seige in there. If you get killed by an NSP player in the EB JP im sorry but you can thank AR and BP for our conditioning, i did however have a very pleasant convo with a HoD player who was clueless and i showed him the way through (unfortunately he fell off the pillar on his own accord, died and logged off)

Oh and zhxy is it that obvious ?

This!
Shame that NSP will move down a tier. but thank god we wont have to deal with constant spies (psst the asura thief,we know…) and double teaming. TBH its not really even double teaming. Its BP assaulting and AR scavenging like parasites. I met some really decent BP players. But god AR…come fight me on even numbers, see how much you’ll be dancing then.

If we do move down. BP, good luck!

AR, really…a zerker commander? lawl

More pics just for u Rob =) This is us taking most of NSp today before it reset. BTW great job with those fully upgraded Keeps!

Congratulations on taking a keep with no defenders/commanders and a golem rush. You can now PvDoor. You got all confused and disorientated and backed away 3 times from your attempts on garrison once we actually logged on… still with minimal numbers.
Have fun with your next epic assault when there’s no one there to actually fight back.

Darek i dont blame your choice on your guild at all, I was severely disappointed with the welcoming party you guys received on the forums…. That will change, it has to.

Rob i couldnt get on either, and yes our pop sucks as it is in the mornings on gmt, remove a few commanders and people log into map, see all green and no shiny blue tag with the promise of a solid force and say “meh, gonna run cof”. i know i sometimes feel like that when running on my alts
The solution is to get more eu and GMT++ hour guilds to nsp

Just gonna hijack your thread a little, apologies dont shoot!
T6(I think?) NSP/BP/AR is a very close tier for any guilds losing morale.

BP and AR however do have more built up guilds (larger zergs)
NSP has smaller guilds working together and several large ones. Trust me you will always find a decent fight here
Join on on NSP we are the underdog (yet an FC guild recently transferred to BP….even though they are the tier leader)
So if anyone wants to come to our tier pm me for more info <3
GL out there, dont lose the will to fight!

agreed with anths. give me a name of the commander who agreed to work with BP. show me this proof that “everyone knows”

Haven’t been able to log in since around 2pm gmt (last 4-5hours) :/Some sort of connection issues serverside

dunnberry.2964:

Hahahaha @smitry and birds memes! Perfect example of our servers attitude and situation!

It’s exactly how I feel every time I’m in wvw
But all jokes aside, NSP, BP and AR are very closely matched overall, i Still do believe NSP has less numbers due to larger zergs that AR and BP have with 500esque wvw guilds they have.

It is a real shame with all the interserver spies and deals going on though. I realise its not a bannable offence and that it has been used in real life to great effect, But whats the fun in that? In my opinion the honour and sign of a good commander is to be able to read the enemy movements, anticipate their next move and develop the best counter strategy with what resources you have. Others appear to think that portal glitching and similar exploits are the way to go. You know who you are.
I’m not ignorant, I have spoken to other bp commanders who agree that set-ups and gang-ups are nonsense and fair battle is the way we should be heading towards.

My heart forever belongs to NSP
NSP Pride!

Join NSP, Story of our life.

Hey there!
Asura
Male
So I recently in one big swoop bought t3 asuran ( Electromagnetic Plated) and crafted The Juggernaut
To my disappointment the textures which normally glow (ie crystals and centre lining of the armour, the underarms and event the white on the helmet ) Completely disappears with the juggernaut effect, making me almost completely see through, im basically a running set of armour and ears, hallow shell of a guardian.
I don’t mind clipping issues, but this essentially erases a major proportion of my character :S please, PLEASE fix this, i know it will take time, but as long as its being worked on I can rest easy.

here are some screenies:

PS: Love the game and the team! Please give me back my body!

Corvindi.5734:

This was bound to happen. I just bought what I wanted with cash (bank space and character slots) and never looked back. But the whole gems for gold exchange option makes me sick. It devalues time spent in an MMO when some rich snot can come along and buy something in an instant that you spent months grinding for.

Don’t care what others think, this is just my take on it. I loathe the whole thing and I have zero respect for people who use their wallets to shortcut in game mechanics.

100% agree with message (not so much with delivery).
i have spent 80 euro on the gemstore, and will continue to buy stuff off gemstore, like more char slots etc.
BUT as Corvindi said, the RL Cash>gems>gold conversion rate is far too high and devalues the in game achievements.
I would like to support arenanet the best i can, i believe the company deserves my time and money. But this conversion rate is far too high and has to be fixed.please.
thanks you

GW2 pre-release documents stated that even though there is a microtransaction feature, this game will not be pay to win, due to to exchange rate which will not be profitable to use real life money to buy in game stuff. (not exact quote but you get the idea,)
Which is fine, i have no problem paying 10 bucks for a character expansion slot or bag exp etc. These are the microtransactions bought with gems via cash or in game gold. I wouldnt do it everyday since i cant afford it. But i would still support the company i know and love for more than 7 years now as best as i could.
What really annoys me lately is the gem>gold conversion rate. Now before people start barking on about supporting the company ill ask you to stop as i have read all the posts above before posting this. But here is the deal. I will pay as much as i can to support. i would probably not ever buy gemstore stuff with ingame gold. first reason is to support and second reason is that its to expensive with in game gold atm.
And guess what? i have no problem with gemstore ingame gold rise… what i do have a problem is the modifier on the gem-gold conversion.
Example. 2 people in the guild going for same legendary (its not statistically superior but it is superior in social status etc) Person A, spends few hours a day, playing the game, getting the gold, even playing the TP (ingame feature) to raise funds for the said legendary. Person B spends 200 dollars on gems and makes 250g instantly… and is that % on the way ahead of Person A for the same legendary. He will get there first and he will “win” by having a legendary item. simultaneously de-valuating the Person A’s efforts to getting the legendary as its not the first in the guild and is no longer exclusive. (also when you see people running about with them you dont know did they pay rl money or earned in via ingame accomplishments (correct me if im wrong, a legendary weapon is an ingame accomplishment and not your bank statement?)

Proposed solution: and if i could get a dev response to this (pos or neg) that would be great.
1)
100 gems costs 2g to buy now, if demand keeps going up let it rise as it does now pushing players to buy more gems with rl cash for the gemstore items, hence supporting the company.
BUT: do not raise the Gem→Gold conversion! infact nerf it a little! make the ratios smaller! like 100gems=15s and not 1.5g, hence reducing the number of people buying gems with real life cash to convert to ingame gold to pay to win (maybe somone super rich can still afford it but those people are rare and good for anet if they find someone like that) But players who claim they do this to support the company will still buy gemstore items with RL cash since the gemrate for those is constant.

Release more gemstore skins etc that are are awesome like the primeval one from gw2, players who can afford it will still buy it and have the exclusivity of it, but it will be identifiable as “bought for cash, i support anet” which is great! no bad stigma whatsoever.

Meanwhile it leaves faithful players of the game playing happy and progressing! you say you want to pay rl cash for your legendary, you shouldnt be able to and please dont be so arrogant to think that because you have a bigger pocket you deserve the INGAME achievement designed to specify a player who achieved a legendary status by playing the game. This is a game where many people come to relax, escape the real world into the fantasy that is guildwars 2, amazing scenery and artwork and the game is just fantastic.
But as it stands its dragging the real world issues such as “who has more money” into it by allowing gem>gold conversion rate to reach such heights where people dont play the game, and just spend their real life money… real life shouldnt tie into it at all, its a game, a phenomenal game at that. and it deserves respect. I used to argue with my friends defending the GW franchise when the gemstore was announced, i used to say that it will not be a pay to win, unfortunately i cant say that any longer, and i know many that stopped playing.
Apologies for the long post
Thank you
