He didn’t say “sometimes” and your groups have definitely run from some fair fights. Might wanna look a little more into who your new recruits are. Also, I’ve seen PAXA in 15+ groups of people too. Might as well go whine on the forums about it.
Since you seem to have some vivid details about who is running, why not share? No offense Andro, but I have a hard time imagining anyone running from a fight against equal numbers. Like Osif said, you sure there wasn’t 30 people in the area that they wanted to pull away from? It sounds like sour grapes, especially considering Osif just posted a video of someone from XOXO doing the exact same thing you are accusing us of.
I’ve never been in a PAXA group that has had more than 8-9 people in an area, and it’s only been when we’ve had multiple groups in the area trying to bust up a zerg. I’ve been a part of that once, and wanted to take a shower afterward. We consistently run in groups of 5 or less, and I think you’ll have a hard time arguing against that. Considering the size of the guild, we couldn’t even field more than 8-9 if we wanted to.
I really don’t think there’s anyone from NSP that can call us out for numbers. Like us or not, we run smaller numbers than any other guild in this tier, and we’re very consistent in that. Aside from random solo people, we’re the smallest group that’s out in WvW. I’m not going to get into individual guilds doing this or that as it’s pretty evident what we see everyday. There are some talented players that run in larger groups than I would expect, but that’s their choice. I wish they would try to run in smaller groups, but I’m sure they have their reasons.
You were one of them And i didn’t say PAXA groups of 15+. We’ve never had that many online either…

Nor did he say all the time. It’s obvious you guys have small groups out there sometimes too. The difference is we don’t run around with those 15+. Sometimes we just run into the zerg or they run into us. I have no problem with you guys zerging and helping the server, I’d rather you not but w/e. Keep doing your thang chicken wang, but you losing to us bad players that are easier than PvE doesn’t make ya look so hawt.
I know who my new recruits are, I don’t think they would run from a good, fair fight. Might want to pan behind you though to see if you are running in the zerg. They might be running from that.
Dude, have you ever PvE’d? Those bosses are harder than gates nowadays. You don’t even know.

The only crying from either side was the time we mopped the floor with paxa and the tears that followed was.. "omg pew pew cheese op’d mesmer/ thief combos/ we didn’t have our full 5 / insert more tears / ect ect / Whines in whisper.
Other then that one time I think its been rather tear free.
Huh. All the times I’ve been around it’s been pretty fun fights with no floor mopping. Who was it that cried, if I might ask.
Yes, and I’m sure that makes you feel really special after having run from the fair numbers fights. Now stop with all this attention grubbing. I’m trying to PvE, since killing you guys isn’t enough of a challenge.
It’s funny how when some people are mad they go right to the “you’re bad” card. I think you’re a good player and run the best specc that fits your play style (only time I ever see you is when you’re solo). XOXO has lost plenty times to PAXA, so saying that we aren’t a challenge kinda goes against you… dying to bad players and all.
Also, only time I have run from a fair fight has been when I’ve had a phone call in the middle of a fight. Our groups have never run from a fair fight. Funny how you bring that up though. Hypocrisy is a pretty big pet peeve of mine.
Acts all carebear and stands around with me until others attack me. Then when the others leave and he’s all alone… PEACE OUT!
Don’t get offended by Jscull saying you guys sometimes zerg. It’s just a factual statement.

Would love to. Too bad 99% all the “NSP 5/small mans” now just simply run in 15 +.
Including XOXO.
Noticed this about HoD’s “small mans” too… until there’s a zerg on us. Then they love to gank.
I don’t know ANY other small mans on HoD other than who we also run with [KoM]. They run anywhere from 5-9 people. Usually in between. We run at most 6 people. We have never merged the groups…. But have made groups under that 9 person mark. Why you are crying we didn’t hold back on you doesn’t make any sense as those NSP "small " mans inside Zergs haven’t? You’re red on the screen, sorry my goal isn’t to /dance, /eat cookies /hug carebears with you.

As a member of a reputable roaming group that frequently runs 5 mans (and if any T7 lowbie-killing 5-man want to come have a go, you’re on..), I can tell you that AoN has never told anybody to stop following them if they were just doing their objectives. Yes, our style of play focuses on fighting larger numbers and searching for constant fighting, but we’d never discourage our server to play objectives. In fact, we help them a lot. I believe that’s the proper mentality to have in regards to your server.
If you chose to play a roaming-group in GW2, you chose to take a different path than most. Therefore, you have to adapt to the majority and the game design… AoN spends 80% of their time deep in enemy territory, with no allies in sight. If you’re on a contested on friendly area, don’t complain about your pubbies being around you. Move yourself to a different place.
Of course, we’ve had our cases where litterally 5 or 6 people would hang around with us, following us like glue… those are the cases where you just want to kill them yourselves… people who decide they’d ride along your train while they should be doing other stuff.. but oh well. Run them into an enemy zerg and they run or die instantly.
Of course, if they ARE, indeed, in T7, where zergs and people in general are less geared, skilled and hardcore than the higher tiers, and where there a less full guild zergs, they “would” think highly of themselves for wiping people with crappy gear and no voice com. If you want a real challenge, come to T2. You’ll have plenty to fight, and it’ll open your eyes, and there won’t be pubbies because pubbies will stick with the commander!
Yes, t2 is much more skilled for standing in 60 person zerg balls all day whose only means of transportation across the map is by portaling. “T7 lowbie-killing 5-man?” Have you even been to the lower tiers? Seriously, dude, get over yourself. The only difference between tiers is the population. That, and in the lower tiers you have to do more than spam aoe to win. I know, using skills is hard…
Ive seen AoN Play. And like my Guild we are really competitive. Ive been in low tiers and also tier 2. there is a reason we are in a higher tier. Ive dueled this guy personally. Hes a friggin monster, and his guild works well with this. Ive seen noone do the same.
Well I haven’t seen him except an unimpressive video against bad Maguuma pugs
(5v6 followed by 5v8 does not make a 5v15), so he should probably keep his ego in the tier it belongs.
Yes, I’m sure that aoe spam holds up well against guild groups of good players.
Me stating a reality about guild/playerbase distribution among the tiers lead me to being egotastic and other such nonsense? If you do wish to fight us, at least have the decency to do it ingame rather than on the forums. Thank you.
Lol, don’t start trakittenalking other people you know as little about as you claim we do of you and then get kitten when someone responds negatively.
Edit: It wasn’t the “playerbase distribution of the tiers” that I give a rat’s kitten about. You specifically targeted t7 roaming groups as nothing more than lowbie gankers. Wtf did you expect my reaction to be? And for trying to turn this into a recruitment opportunity you sure as hell started off on the wrong foot.

I still dont understand lol, I read all of what you said, and all i see is whining about how bad he is. Fight him then. If not, dont say anything. Sometimes i dont know why i even bother. The majority of the game is bads. im pretty sure you are too.
I’m pretty sure you’re an idiot but I didn’t need to say that either. And no, I’m not going to say nothing when the kittentard talks kitten about guilds he knows nothing about. If he wants to fight, I’d have no problem beating his kitten and yours.

We have dueled. i never said i lost. But in a team fight the guy is a threat.
I have no idea why you’re turning this into a “how would you fight bad pugs better” issue, when I’ve been talking about his calling out t7 small-mans this entire time. He’d get rolled 5v5 in this tier.
Angelic Synergy [Holy], Andromeda (Mesmer)/Samson of Mice (Guardian)/Ren the Stumpy (Engi)
No lol if it was me i wouldve went around the back and pushed hard from behind, solo. While the zerg pushes the other side. AoE also has a 5 man limit so they wouldnt all be dying from the AoE. All about pressure man.
Which works well against pug zergs. Still doesn’t apply to small roaming groups who have a clue what they’re doing.

Btw, I think you’re about one of only 2 GT I know of who don’t use them.
Yea, and he calls us kittenes too. In return, we sometimes drop food trays when he’s trying to loot so we can return the favor. He’s not playing favorites here or targeting XOXO or anything. He’s just that personally opposed to consumables.
Everyone has their opinions on what needs to be added/removed/nerfed/buffed for balance, that’s his.
I think that we can all agree the one thing in this game that needs a nerf is Andromeda
I’ll second this notion.
Omg. Don’t even. Whoever sends cookies is gonna get it -.-
Angelic Synergy [Holy], Andromeda (Mesmer)/Samson of Mice (Guardian)/Ren the Stumpy (Engi)
Yeah, so unfair using game mechanics everyone has access to. Who does that?
Yes, is is extremely unfair when guilds like SPCA, XOXO and PAXA run around with buffs. These guys run around in good groups filled with good players running good builds. These are the types of guys that do not have much issue in the vast majority of fair fights. I only stated that like a fact because they have some better players than me and I do alright. A large part of the point and fun in pretty much any game is in the challenge it provides and skill it requires; using buffs lowers both of those. What’s the fun in making it so good and close fights aren’t as close as they would have been? What skill does it take to nearly half conditions applied to you because you farmed some nodes or used the trading post?
It would be one thing if XOXO, SPCA and PAXA were the type of players that needed an extra edge, but they aren’t. Who cares if 98% of people in WvW use buffs? A lot of those people need an extra edge because they’re trash. I beat most people I fight anyway, but I should make the game less amusing by making all those fights easier? Every time I run into someone good I should take some of the fun away by making the fight easier? kitten that. Call buffs smart, fair or whatever. I’ll be the idiot that handicaps himself for better fights.
I’m probably not going to debate the subject beyond this post because I doubt any replies will be worth a response. I just hope I explained things better to some people.
Ok, so your only complaint is we’re too “good” to be allowed to use consumables, so we should handicap ourselves for the 30-man zergs that are gonna /dance on us if they win while they’re each using them. Just making sure. Btw, I think you’re about one of only 2 GT I know of who don’t use them.
(And I, for one, would rather fight someone who has full stacks of bloodlust, something that also comes from using the trading post, and top tier consumables on than someone using none so that there are no excuses.)

Yes, these pictures only show HoD, but they’re the only of the two that I remembered screenshotting.
Dont get me wrong, im not against zergs or anything, but we’ve dealt with FC/ET telling us about numbers for weeks and you guys just followed their tradition, then so will we. Enjoy the screenshots.

Just out of curiosity how many wvw players in [PvP]? its been the only tag ive noticed so far (there are many of you) .
I’ll keep you guessing :P It’s probably less than you think.
I know we’re hard to capture in a screenshot to count, because we usually don’t stray from position much, but try and grab a screenshot and count us when you catch us out of position, or wipe us (those two usually go hand and hand). I’m going to make you work for it

Why else did you get this game? To get gear you’ll never use except on the same, predictable npc’s? I don’t know about you, but I play games for fun, not in-game “achievements.” WvW is about the most player-controlled game type of any game I’ve played. And you must not have spent much time doing it, because your zerg mentality would have been shaken by now had you come across a good group of players that wiped you at over 5-1 odds.

Is there a server that has that AND mostly small group action, or am I asking for too much?
It sounds like what you’re looking for is a guild, not a server.
Find a guild that prefers this kind of teamwork and I imagine you’ll have much better luck.
^This.
I’m a commander on FC in a small man guild that’s been here forever. If you had too, you’d realize the need for commanders. After all the major guilds left in about the first month, the server was literally dead. NP came and is the reason I have the tag now. Only started donning it to get morale up and help keep our map the right color against Devona’s Rest, if you know anything about that situation. It worked and we’ve had increasing numbers of pve converts ever since. Trust me, I don’t want to be having to command any more than you do (small man skirmishing is a million times more fun, if you can call commanding fun at all, with all the frustration it brings), but the fact is WvW isn’t fun for a lot of people when you can’t hold anything, which seems to be the case whenever the job is left up to randoms. Just trying to stay out of dead last.

Great, fair fights all around. Now, if I could just figure out how the Players vs Panzies (SF) guild is so stealthy in getting into towers… It’s almost like they don’t even have to set up siege or anything. Like the gate and walls are up on a fully upgraded tower that hasn’t been broken into since reset and there they are killing the guild claimer… Gg guys. Could that d/d ele commander leading those guys teach me your awesome tactics?

Here’s one: get rid of that stupid kittening commander npc in enemy borderlands. It takes a kittenedly long time to kill and a stupid amount of people and there is absolutely no down time between events, even though we’re fighting both servers’ npc’s at the same kitten time. I don’t play WvW to fight npc’s all day. Also fix the auto-target. It targets npc’s and then pets before players? How much sense does that make?

Yes, if we’re drastically outnumbering you, and we have 500+ points, I need something fun to do. What better to do than troll one of our long-time rivals, Ferg’s?
Ya, only about 20% (if that) of your server actually qualify as having a long rivalry with us. The rest were either too scared to come out to wvw until now or not even on your server.

FC and ET both seem to be in a situation that regardless of who the 3rd server they fight is, they’re going to get stomped because of pop/coverage imbalance… And there’s no tier lower for them to fight in.
Just a bad situation to be in and nothing Anet does can directly fix it for them. They can put incentives for switching to their server, which is the best they can hope for atm.
Actually after next week, the tier should be pretty balanced, as long as Kaineng moves up. Transfers, again, are only going to create more problems.

Ending free xfers would be bad now. The damage is done. The only hope of tier match ups evening up ever is for the people who want challenges heading to lower tiers. If paid xfers went into place it would never happen.
That’s what everyone going to DR and Kaineng said. And look at the mess now… The damage will never be done as long as it keeps happening. I’m also not entirely sure what “challenge” all those xfers were looking for. They bring hundreds of people to a tier where every server has about 40-60 average players on at prime time and things were pretty even and their new server rolls all over everybody.

I don’t understand why the winning server doesn’t just move up while the loser moves down. That or close free server transfers. As long as those exist, populations aren’t stable enough for the current system to apply rationally.
This is an excellent idea – guarantees fresh looks at every tier every week and looks to eliminate stagnation. Nice, simple, effective.
The problem with this system is that it would match servers from three tiers (weakest of above tier, middle of tier, strongest of below tier). This would end up creating a lot of blowouts. You already have imbalances within tiers. The rating system does need to be adjusted so servers don’t get trapped in a bubble, but the system still needs to attempt to create close matches.
That actually already happens under the current system. It just takes longer to progress so some tiers become roflstomps for 3 or 4 weeks.

Contrary to some of the posts above, the problem isn’t really the free server transfers. Lock down server transfers and you will still have a ranking system that doesn’t properly account for existing server imbalances. The ranking system is simply WAY too slow to react, and until that gets fixed matchups will still be screwed up.
Don’t hold your breath, though … I haven’t seen a lick of evidence that ANet pays much attention at all to WvW, even though WvW was one of their biggest selling points prior to launch.
It would balance out eventually. The point is the scales get tipped too frequently at the moment by mass guild transfers, which makes the slow ranking system even more defunct. The first idea I gave would balance the match-ups much more quickly, even with the freedom to migrate, but I like the other a little more.

Wow this thread has it all. We got old friends (Fergs and Kains) stopping in to remind us we still have numbers against them. We’ve got new friends (HoD and SF) reminding us that we have numbers against them. And then we have some cheeky Blackgate fellow who has decided to muck around in the mire of the bottom tier threads to remind us no matter what our numbers are the higher tiers are still better than us in DR.
I for one hope HoD and SF show up and start giving me an opportunity to get into my comfortable zerg ball and hump me some karma trains. Really you are disappointing ole Khans and severely interrupting his ability to casually play the game. I have actually STAYED in SM and farmed Gifts (those toys hurt I just grab the presents and run). I can honestly say I’ve had one excitable fight this entire matchup and of course it got ruined by a zerg ball. I miss the amazians of Kain and the sweet candy loot bags those Envy guys always dropped.
I still chuckle when I see a higher tiered server actually take any kind of interest in us lowly tiers. Higher tiers =/= better players (unless your in T8 then of course we are better than you. I had a video of me soloing 3 Envy mesmers AND 6 NoQQ at the same time to prove my egaming leet pro skilz, but my wife deleted it.
Best. Post. Ever. And before he says anything, shut up Drednyte. He talked about my guild. MY GUILD! XP Kinda flattered you guys are still talking about us though.

And i didn’t say PAXA groups of 15+. We’ve never had that many online either…
Could that d/d ele commander leading those guys teach me your awesome tactics?
