See, ANet? If you’d kept the Matchup Forums alive at least half the WvW population would be mumping at each other ’stead of mumping at youse.
I’ve had coming up for 2 years worth of (mainly) fun for the price of a game, so I may kitten now and then but, really, I’m fine.
Sadly, my first thought was that an investigation into the cheating had delayed the rewards. Silly old me.

NA players have been using this since the new healing skills came out, and it has not been a problem here.
It’s not even a big deal, no one in NA goes out of their way to spam it. We don’t have necro blobs running around, we just play like we always have, if there happens to be a necro in your group then sure it might be used once or twice but it isn’t game breaking.
So what you’re saying is that NA users are more “casual” about their cheating than EU users? You maybe take down a gate 10, 15, 20 percent faster with the exploit, so that’s alright then?
Well, I’m just glad there’s an ocean between us, bud. Coz your attitude stinks.
Ok, it’s signet of vamparism…see the other post on the subject. I think it’s a bannable exploit so I’m guessing AM won’t be in WvW again. Sadly it seems that 60 gandarans are running around exploting it today…hope they get punted too…ofc they won’t :p
Look guys, a lot of you have gone off-topic, and few of you get the point I’m trying to make. I didn’t come on here to whine about losing. Let me try to explain what bothers me so much about this ok?
WvW is about capturing and defending fortresses. That’s where the bulk of the points are scored; owning a structure. When a fortress is T0 we call it paper, but it isn’t literally paper, it’s a fortress!. The idea of WvW was to recreate Medieval style sieges with all the organization, artifice, and machinery that those entailed. If fortresses really had paper doors that could be taken down in seconds by a bunch of numptys with swords, the 100 Years War would have lasted a week and a half…and most of that would be travel time.
I don’t expect a fair balance in WvW and I fully expect 20 to be overwhelmed by 70 man golem rushes most of the time. The exhiliration comes from the times that you actually beat them back. I’m not talking about playstyle or server style. I’m quite used to how AM play and have never moaned about it before. I’m not moaning about it now either. They found an easier way to do the job is all. I am saying, however, that 45 people PvDing a gate in 10 seconds utterly breaks the immersion and feeling of reality that kept me hooked on WvW for the last 14 months.
I defy anyone, including those in the AM herd, to find any lasting enjoyment from playing WvW like this. Finally someone found a way to suck all the fun out of a game that I’ve loved so much for such a long time. And I think that’s a shame.
AM didn’t bother with our camps. They didn’t use supply. Offensive siege has become obsolete to them and they aren’t interested in defending, so supply is obsolete to them too. To my mind this breaks the game. It’s like a massive exploit and boy have AM exploited it. All they do is rack up points by retaking stuff before anyone has a chance to upgrade it…over and over and over again until we all got sick of it and logged off. If ANet don’t fix this, WvW will become pointless and, for me at least, GW2 will as well.
This afternoon Abbadon’s Mouth took Gandara Bl in less than 10 mins using NO SIEGE WHATSOEVER!
20 mins later they came back and did it again.
They were running an average size blob by AM standards, 40-50 players, but they went through our paper doors in 10 seconds flat. Roughly the time 5-6 Alphas would take to do the job. I don’t know how they did it, and I really don’t care, but PvD = WvW RiP unless something is done about it soon.
I’d like to congratulate Deso on their first place finish in Silver league. You should be mid-table in Gold, but thanks to some subtle tanking, you get the top spot in our league. I can’t remember, would it have been Kodash by rights? They might well have won. Would have been a good fight; Gandara, Kodash, Blobbadon, Blobbadon Jr. Anyway, Deso guys, enjoy those gold finishers! Nobody has any respect for you but, kitten me, you sure can Doylak my face now!
Hahahahahahaha!!
Well done Miller’s!! Taking Bay on our Borderland. I bet Viz are sick as parrots…
Didn’t see that coming, did yas?
We dont care about points and rankings.. so this is a horrible matchup for us.
We just want to have good even nice fights and not blobbwars and we dont want to go higher up in ranking becuase then we lose what we enjoy doing.
We? Who’s we? A lot of Gandarans care about points and rankings. Sure, if you just go by this matchup thread, you’d be forgiven for thinking that we’re all about the fights, and fun fights are nice, but they are incidental to the main purpose of the game: scoring points.
A recent horrible matchup for me was Underworld/Rof. Guild groups maybe had a good time but the rest of us did not.
Some idiot last week claimed that Gandara had lost it’s mojo. What a tosser! Well done guys for putting up such a great fight!
(yeh, it was me…I’m currently choking on my own words)
Coverage and numbers aren’t everything. We lose stuff even when we have numbers due to disorganisation and general disinterest. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t care to be T3 again but our ineptness is getting embarassing. Just be nice to have some of that collective will again that helped us punch above our weight.
Don’t matter who we get next, if Gandara doesn’t get it’s finger out we’ll be 17th come September. Long, sad decline from T3 when we actually worked as a team.
Lots of credit to Underworld for giving it a good go, and Ring of Fire were feisty as always.
ANet’s drip feed PvE timing didn’t help but, truth is, we suck poodle beans as a W3 server these days. Soon we’ll be facing Blacktide and Arborstone. GL finding anyone to fight then.
Oh for God sakes! Can we get a decent matchup? Can we?
PS: Thank you, Eze, for eschewing that poxy Gandalff cobblers in the thread title.
Kudos Elona Reach…you are the best server we’ve ever fought. Don’t listen to the moans, you’re playing the game the way it has to be played. W3 is flawed. Not your fault. Anyway, I’ve found many of you to be pretty feisty, unlike Jade Sea last week, the worst server we’ve ever fought. Sure they won. But they were souless and crappy.
We don’t have any queues. The robots who follow the zerg about capping kitten who think their rank makes them l33t have found other things to do. The guilds who just care about their own fun are crying in their crisps.
So go ahead ER, crush us like the bugs we are. And if you look anything like Alex Kingston, feel free to sit on my cold, dead face.

Maybe ANet could introduce some GvG arenas in the future, and build a love hotel next door where you could all finger each other in the jacuzzi after your exertions.
Personally, I’ve had a miserable week. I don’t know much about vacuums but apparently you can scout in one.
Best laugh of the week, 5 RS and 1 AR cows with kites running round our border.
Cows with Kites…gotta be a band name, surely?
Well, this is a lot more fun than the previous few weeks have been, even tho we is plumb last. Good news is that all the wxp hoors have kittened off to play what ANet laughingly refers to as “content”, leaving the qs for all but EB fairly manageable. And having only experienced AR on EB before, it has come as a pleasant surprise to find that some of you like a good fight. Thanx all for the scrapz!
Just like to say Auf Wiedersehen to The ABBAblob with this medley…you all know the tunes, so sing along…
There is something in the air tonight
it smells like kittene
fermenting
Water Gate!
couldn’t defend if we wanted to
Water Gate!
40 AM and 8 Golems too
Only me, only you. Oh crap!
there is nothing we can do
only me, only you…
and they’re already through
we just hammered skill one
it was all we could do…
Thankyouandgodnight"!
Playing as a Ranger I got my first Manual (L10) in Queensdale. It worked ok. The L40 manual I bought in LA and, like the OP, I couldn’t click on it, it doesn’t work. Made the mistake of buying the L60 manual in WvW and I COULD click on it even though I shouldn’t have been able to having not used the L40 Manual. It promptly disappeared from my invent leaving me a total of 3g down and 50 trait points short. I was at the correct level when i bought the Manuals.
I have had a problem with the L40 Training Manual even though I have used the L10 one. I cannot click on the manual. The window background is completely black. I tried resetting all my traits. I tried buying the L10 and L60 manuals. I can’t click on the L10 manual, which is fine as I have used it already. I could click on the L60 manual and it duly dissapeared from my inventory, but I didn’t get the 30 extra trait points. I was at the reqired level for each manual. I have spent 3g 20s on a grand total of 10 trait points. I still have the L40 manual and I try it every now and then. Dunno when I’ll be able to afford a new L40 and another L60
