Ironic how some SoRs are calling ZDs as rage quitters when you look at the past 2 weeks.

You mean the same SOR who finished 2nd place 3 weeks in a row? That don’t sound quitting to me. ZD on the other hand basically abandoned ship and Rage Quit their home server of whom they have been on since launch, all because they finished 3rd in a week 1 matchup

Is it true ZD’s lost their week 1 EU matchup and rage quit their server?

Just curious.

How can you loose in something you can’t participate in?

Reasonable excuse assuming ZD’s was the only guild that sat in queues alongside the fact every other EU server would have come to NA to escape the queues as well but it was pretty much only ZD.

All evidence points to them being Rage Quitters

For not understanding:
ZBs = ZDs, WWW roster named ZBs in guild ZDs on SFR.

Guys from SoR, r u joking when u blame ZDs in yr defeat?
So many messages about ZDs.. Hm. Thx for PR.
But be better if u will fight vs BG in game.
Thank you.

Is it true ZD’s rage quit after a week 1 matchup in EU after finishing 3rd?

Just curious.

I must say the NA match up forums keep me entertained at work and while waiting for guilds and assorted enemies to actually leave EB or other borders and stumble into our welcoming arms, albeit just to re-queue for a greener pasture half hour later. European match up threads just pale in comparison, really.

Thankfully it looks like the point difference is high enough to allow us to go hunting for enemies in other borders for the rest of the week. Hope to fight you soon!

Is it true ZD’s lost their week 1 EU matchup and rage quit their server?

Just because you weren’t privy to something doesn’t mean it did or didn’t happen.

At the end of the day your picking on one tiny wincy aspect of my post, and completely ignoring that the whole entire reason it was brought back up again was, because members of your current server, and newer members of SoS have said SOR was the sole reason SOS imploded, at that time, which I was stating is utterly incorrect, and at the same time, also point to the fact that if the SoS people really wanted to hate a server they should perhaps look at BG since your, now current, server took the lions share of the SOS WvW guilds compared to SOR, JQ, TC and FA.

So please don’t be getting your knickers in a knot because of the small aspect of my post. but by all means please try to point out where in my reasoning that it, if there be any server that, should SoS hate a server more, when presented with the facts, it should actually be BG.

It looks like you still ignore half of my first post saying the same thing you’re complaining that I’ve ignored. Go read it again, JQ was a very large reason for all of those transfers.

Also “not privy” is hilarious. I’ve specifically been talking about AoI, I have not once mentioned anything regarding MERC, for example, being “bought.” Which btw, was the entire reason this buying guilds thing ever came about. When MERC posted that BG helped them pay transfer costs for some of their members. This isn’t even close to a secret. However you’ve got some twisted revisionist history, where most of the guilds were bought and only you know which ones.

Protip: You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Protip: your still ignoring the fact the BG took, stole, bought, borrowed, received, how ever you want to word it the largest amount of guilds causing SoS to implode more than any other server, thus what my post was actually about. But you being so pro and all would know that and wouldn’t go on for 3/4 posts about the wording I used… Oh wait ….

“Implode” is such an emotive word. This all happened 10 months ago. Post from Tarkus above pretty much sums up what happened. Lots of other servers experienced similar to SoS to different degrees – such as HoD, ET, IoJ, SBI, DB, Kn, even BG a bit. Lots of people have moved into and some out of SoS since then. SoS is in a good place at the moment which is the main thing – much more relaxed than when we were in T1. This week is especially fun.

About SoR, I don’t hate you I hate the mentality of few guilds members/leaders you have there and that are selfish elitists …..

Same could be said of BuyGate’s reputation from posters like you. Particularly one who only shows up on the forums when BuyGate is winning.

You have to get rid of that statesment , I already answered I went 3weeks in spvp to get my tiger finisher (instead of rabbit that looks so lame) reaching rank 40. So 24/7 3weeks spvp I had no reason to post in WvW. But well I feel like I am repeating the same thing to Alzeimer people XD. I am back in WvW from last Monday (the day that was the end of ze weurld for SoR … like seriously wtf…)
As clue, first week of S01 BG won I havent post anything on the forum I was still in spvp…
Many SoR will be famous for Drama and propaganda I feel like being back to primary school…

There is really nothing to explain. Your server was struggling so you ran away for a month. Now that others have helped rebuild BG’s ranks, you decided to pop back in and ride their coat tails. It’s all good man

Riv,

I appreciate the concern but its unnecessary. The same dedicated core that’s been fighting you since T2 is still here, we’re just playing less.

In the past Rallians and Beastgaters were putting in the same amount of hours everyday. The time being in the 6-8 hour range. Right now our guys are only putting in 2 hours a night so it appears like we’re losing people but we’re not. Similar to your guys playing 12 hours a day so it gives the appearance you have more than what you do.

I’ll worry if we no show in the week 7 match but WvW was never intended to be a 1v1 so there’s really no concern on our end about the poor attendance.

I think it is precisely this drop of play time from 6 hours down to 2 hours that we are worried about. There is a fine line to walk between “play for fights” and “giving up due to losing”. I believe “play for fights” means you guys come out play 6 hours (or whatever your usual hours is) regardless win or lose. When the play time suddenly drops to 2 hours when you are losing, people have to wonder are you not deriving the same enjoyments from fights anymore when you are losing in ppt?

During times when going gets tough, it is easy for militias to get demoralized and start to play less, it is the WvW guilds that need to held your chin high and come out and play as much as you are used to in order to hold server morale, otherwise it is only a matter of time before people get disgruntled and leave the server. We are not asking SoR to play 12 hours like some on BG does, but SoR guilds need to at least play your usual amount of hours to hold your reputation as only “play for fights” and to hold your server up. This is what you guys did in T2 and you were a hard nut to crack back then. However, many are worried that we are not seeing the same SoR attitude as back in T2 now.

Am more concerned about those putting OT in for weeks on end for a meager reward in a video game. Anytime I hear BG commanders boasting of their 12++ hour sessions for leagues, I envision BuyGate commanders looking like this guy pwning and it just brings laughter

Now this I agree with. Sird,Transfer to JQ prior to the week 5 matchup and help them beat BG. This way week 7 is a toss up again. Week 7 won’t even come into play if BuyGate beats JQ in week 5.

My level 22 guard has rank 15wvw after 3 hours of karma training. It’s not a good factor to prioritise queue over.

It’s great you admit BuyGate is so stacked to the gills one can bring a level 24 up level, hide amongst the massive pile and and rank up to level 15. Wow!

Can I get a list of the EU guilds in this league and what server they are on and future potential transfers.

i would go to JQ. less troll and they play for win.

JQ is gonna do a no show during the BG matches. Everyone feels so bad how Anet rigged the schedule against BG and all those tough matches against SoR.

Congratz on taking first in the tainted Leagues.

I would just feel sorry for the server to work all that OT, play 12 hour days for all of it come down to the last week and lose out. Boy would that suck

Why do certain people from BG care whether SoR puts up a fight or not? Worry about your own server, and let SoR handle it’s own. The politics and health of another server shouldn’t be anyone’s business but their own, regardless of who they are.

The vast majority of the BG posters that post their vitriol, have some unhealthy hate for SoR. Holy crap, it’s a game. Is this the common mentality of people these days? To irrationally hate someone they’ve never met, to the point of wishing that their community will implode?

The anonymity of the internet makes it so easy for someone’s true nature to shine through. That’s not always a good thing to see.

e.g. Fann Wong. Every post I see from him is diplomatic and friendly/kind in nature. I won’t name names for the opposite types. You know who you are, and it would likely result in the post being removed.

TLDR: mind your own server business, and let SoR take care of it’s own.

Read up on some of the history behind SoR and BG/SoS and you’ll see it is well deserved. SoR had this coming.

It’s fueled even more by the fact that when SoR caused SoS to implode, many of us went to BG and that a few weeks ago, they were trying to bully SoS as many people from SoS have said so in this thread.

hah! It’s good to know you speak for your whole server!! and to use the he said she said argument from an online game thread? More! More!! please, this is starting to be pure comedy at this point!@! thanks for the continued laughs!

The amount of bg chest thumping/trolling is staggering this week. Gotta give props to the couple of IRON posters with a solid pvf week.
Side note SoR’s core was forged through months of being outmanned in every timezone minus NA. If u think one loss is gonna demoralize us…….guess again.

Reading the first pages of the match thread again XD

Titan surfaces only when BG is doing well in WVW. .

Yea I noticed that. lol

Buygate completely stacked to the brim and still recruiting and buying more guilds, wow!

This is like the 4th time you’ve posted that screenshot, not even taken by you, two weeks ago, and BG hasn’t been listed as full since. I know you keep trying to troll with this but you keep getting ignored for a reason. The same reason your 7 or 8 “just wait until week 7 when we play kingmaker muhahahaha” posts have been ignored.

hah. It’s obvious BuyGate is worried over what may happen in week 7 as you guys have admitted yourself the amount of overtime the commanders have put forth these past few weeks. As a server you guys are desperate to win each week to ensure week 7 does not come into play.

It’s pointless to air your servers dirty laundry during your time of play on these forums as all it does is attract the BuyGate trolls. There are far better methods to share your concerns, no?

There’s been 3 long kitten posts from disgruntled SoR players so far. Good luck, really.

What you’re seeing though is- I think -SoR players unhappy with the server’s current “attitude” as opposed to the fact that we are losing the match. It’s more a question of discontent, really. I think most SoR players don’t care if we win or lose, but when they start to feel like nothing they say or do is ever good enough and that they have no say in how their server plans its matches…it takes its toll.

I’ve been on Blackgate through many ups and downs – attitude is most definitely a key factor into how well a server plays. Here’s hoping that you get your internal issues sorted out soon.

Well put and when a server is down the excess weight tends to leave which allows the server to trim the fat. One cancer in chat spewing garbage can disrupt a whole map of players. I think a few of us saw the drama unfolding on JQ months back between Rawnoodles and some of the JQ commanders back in the day when word got out they were going at it for hours on map chat throwing obscenities at one another.

When that “excess weight” includes players who have fought for the server since launch and done nothing but try to help said server win, doing all the menial things that the zerg has no time for (gotta get them bagz, right?), you’ve got a problem.

SoR map chat is pretty laid back and still is so would take an awful lot for other players to call you out as a troll which you already admitted to be pointed out as. I can just imagine the spew being typed on the maps you happened to be at when things didn’t go YOUR way.

SoR map chat is laid back until anyone says “But wouldn’t it be better if…”.

For the record, I’ve called commanders idiots for:

-Hearing "Huge BG zerg at gate and then asking me “What guild is it? What’s door %? Is there any siege setup?”

Who gives a crap? There’s a zerg-10 or 15 or 20 people, whatever qualifies as a zerg nowadays -

Heh, reason those questions are asked is the commander needs to know how much time they have to respond. Which means they are at another hot spot putting out a fire or taking an objective.

They are at a gate that is 10pct down, you call out a fire, do they stay at the gate and take it down first before responding, or do they drop what they doing to come to your aid. The priorities are based on the questions they are laying out. So if you tell them the gate is at 90pct with a normal flame ram up, they realize some time is still left on the clock, etc. etc. Any future server you join will ask the exact same things especially when there are multiple fires taking place with one commander on map to do it.

Anyways good luck at your new home!

You haven’t transferred yet?

Nope. Are you concerned?

Once I do, I’ll still keep tabs on SoR to see if there’s been a change of mindset.

Naw, just reminding you. You stated you were transferring off so was surprised you were still around hours later talking about SOR.

I don’t think many of their members speak english…

There is no need for us to prove something in forums, we give what we have in field.

Of course not, you guys are just a week old transfer with no history in these matchups so what’s there to say?

Now BG vs JQ vs SOR is a different breed. I think SOR and BG for one has been going at each others throats for over a year with many of their mainstays still kicking and active on their respective servers so the vibe in these threads are going to come naturally as expected with any long time rival.

Great post, but you don’t speak for the server or its leaders.

Nor do you; and furthermore, who are these “server leaders” you speak of, because I sure don’t see anyone fitting that description in WvW or in TS.

You should tag up and lead a guild.

I do lead a guild; Painfetish. Me. One person.

I was one of 3 co-founders of HF (with Garv and Alpaca Owl) which was one of the more dedicated WvW guilds, I believe, and eventually melded into…Choo, I think it was? Garvzhog quit when he saw that the “zerg guilds” were moving in- this was just after we’d beaten Dragonbrand for the first time ever, and before guilds started “hopping” to our server because they heard we were never-give-uppers.

Alpaca Owl…I think he/she/it got bored and just stopped playing, not sure. He/she/it was more of a cheerleader than a commander anyway.

The three of us (I played Fangjaw at the time) used to command PUG groups and HF before commander tags were as common as flies. None of us had one. We did just fine, because we actually liked each other, respected each other, and listened to everyone around us.

Then, much to my disappointment, SoR became a zerg server. One way, one mind.

Feh.

Make a return to active command and turn things around. Simple solution.

Not remotely interested. I don’t need to log into a videogame and be hassled by catcalls and jeers because I had the “stupid” idea of defending the north camp at the east and west gates (natural chokepoints) instead of calling in the entire map for help every time it’s attacked.

My "stupid* idea is usually to follow a commander for a bit and if I don’t agree with what they doin I just stop following them. If they are the only commander tag on map, I change to another. Difficult concept I know and it takes a lot of willpower

It’s one thing to stay on the server I joined back at launch in order to encourage community building, another entirely to hang on to the past, and so I am going to be moving on…where I don’t know yet.

SoR has lost its backbone. Many of the WvW guilds seem to be more concerned with their own prestige and maintaining (or growing) their spot in the “pecking order” than actually winning the matchup.

-No evolution of tactics. It’s always their blob versus our blob. Always. I play WvW about 6-8 hours a day, 7 days a week (sabbaticals have their perks!) and it’s the exact same game plan every day, on every map; the blob is either capturing something, or rushing to defend something at the last second. No exceptions.

-No room for dialogue. Constructive criticism is ignored or (more likely) ridiculed in map chat, and the critic is labeled a troll and placed on ignore at the Commanders’ insistence.

-We’re not winning? Participation drops.

It may not yet be reflected in the score, but Sanctum of Rall, how far have you fallen…

Reading your post history…You wanted SOR to lose to drop tiers, and now that it’s happening…

Your post 5 months ago, long before “How far you have you fallen”….
“I hope they turn too. I’m sick and tired of T1, everyone here takes this game far too seriously. I legitimately hope we on SoR lose next week and drop a tier. Or three.”

Another one 5 months ago…this is good stuff!
“I don’t see it happening any time soon, but I sincerely hope our population on SoR shrinks and we drop a tier or two….”

How was SOR doing 5 months ago? boy you were raging!
“Speaking as someone who is constantly referred to as a troll by the people on my own server (mostly for calling out some of our kitten commanders when everyone else is busy lapping at their toes), may I say; tell them to kitten off. Seriously.”

“My attitude is, most if not all of these people are people I’ll never meet, and don’t care to meet. Their opinions and any stink they raise because I speak my mind are worth exactly nothing to me. Their criticisms should mean just as much to you.”

Yep and despite my wanting the server to drop down in tiers (and I still think it’s what’s best for them in the long run), I’m leaving. The people I used to play with have all moved on, and the server’s overall mentality has changed far beyond what it once was. If it’s ok for you, that’s good.

So what was up 5 months ago? Sheesh you were raging hard.

I’m not sure…I think that may have been a time when someone else got labeled a troll in map chat for suggesting we defend things instead of flipping them, and it got my hackles up and I started yelling at the “commanders” for it. Usually has that effect on me.

Watch this, it starts at the 1 minute mark.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5kjxdznWPjs

Not sure what the point of the video is; don’t follow the commanders if you don’t want to?

I don’t. I try to stay as far away from their strategic abortions as I possibly can, but unfortunately…most people do follow them and their very bad ideas, and that means that’s where the fights will be, and that means that for someone who likes RvR, being in the general vicinity of the commanders- no matter how inflexible they may be – is a sort of necessity.

Unless you feel like sitting solo in a camp, guarding it (which I have done many a time) or walking yaks (which I have also done many a time) or repairing gates and walls while the zerg rushes off to the next crisis.

That commander is pretty hot huh? had the gothic look goin on and her voice in teamspeak has to be smexy! I’d follow her anytime!!

It’s one thing to stay on the server I joined back at launch in order to encourage community building, another entirely to hang on to the past, and so I am going to be moving on…where I don’t know yet.

SoR has lost its backbone. Many of the WvW guilds seem to be more concerned with their own prestige and maintaining (or growing) their spot in the “pecking order” than actually winning the matchup.

-No evolution of tactics. It’s always their blob versus our blob. Always. I play WvW about 6-8 hours a day, 7 days a week (sabbaticals have their perks!) and it’s the exact same game plan every day, on every map; the blob is either capturing something, or rushing to defend something at the last second. No exceptions.

-No room for dialogue. Constructive criticism is ignored or (more likely) ridiculed in map chat, and the critic is labeled a troll and placed on ignore at the Commanders’ insistence.

-We’re not winning? Participation drops.

It may not yet be reflected in the score, but Sanctum of Rall, how far have you fallen…

Reading your post history…You wanted SOR to lose to drop tiers, and now that it’s happening…

Your post 5 months ago, long before “How far you have you fallen”….
“I hope they turn too. I’m sick and tired of T1, everyone here takes this game far too seriously. I legitimately hope we on SoR lose next week and drop a tier. Or three.”

Another one 5 months ago…this is good stuff!
“I don’t see it happening any time soon, but I sincerely hope our population on SoR shrinks and we drop a tier or two….”

How was SOR doing 5 months ago? boy you were raging!
“Speaking as someone who is constantly referred to as a troll by the people on my own server (mostly for calling out some of our kitten commanders when everyone else is busy lapping at their toes), may I say; tell them to kitten off. Seriously.”

“My attitude is, most if not all of these people are people I’ll never meet, and don’t care to meet. Their opinions and any stink they raise because I speak my mind are worth exactly nothing to me. Their criticisms should mean just as much to you.”

Yep and despite my wanting the server to drop down in tiers (and I still think it’s what’s best for them in the long run), I’m leaving. The people I used to play with have all moved on, and the server’s overall mentality has changed far beyond what it once was. If it’s ok for you, that’s good.

So what was up 5 months ago? Sheesh you were raging hard.

I’m not sure…I think that may have been a time when someone else got labeled a troll in map chat for suggesting we defend things instead of flipping them, and it got my hackles up and I started yelling at the “commanders” for it. Usually has that effect on me.

Watch this, it starts at the 1 minute mark.

Not sure what the point of the video is; don’t follow the commanders if you don’t want to?

I don’t. I try to stay as far away from their strategic abortions as I possibly can, but unfortunately…most people do follow them and their very bad ideas, and that means that’s where the fights will be, and that means that for someone who likes RvR, being in the general vicinity of the commanders- no matter how inflexible they may be – is a sort of necessity.

Unless you feel like sitting solo in a camp, guarding it (which I have done many a time) or walking yaks (which I have also done many a time) or repairing gates and walls while the zerg rushes off to the next crisis.

That commander is pretty hot huh? had the gothic look goin on and her voice in teamspeak has to be smexy! I’d follow her anytime!!

I think each server wants to win and any server would be demoralized at losing that prospect. Week 1 was (and likely Week 7 will be) incredibly close though, so I’m not buying that T1 is ruined. Hope we can continue having some fun along the way.

T1 landscape will stay stable for at least early next year so enjoy while it lasts. Once ESO releases I wager a good chunk of the WvW, PvE crowd will leave in droves, some will comeback but a good chunk will stay which will completely re-align the Tiers from top to bottom

All T1 servers have queues, that’s never going to change.

Not going to lie, winning the inaugural WvW season will be a highlight of my recent GW2 experience.

I do wish transfers were locked a few weeks before the start of the season, but that’s not really fair to everyone else who doesn’t play wvw.

I don’t think any of the T1 servers will die.

Sure BG did help some guilds with transfer costs, and so did many other servers. BG has been a strong contender since as long as I can remember. Week 1 is proof that the match was fair.

Good points. Transfers will never lock for the good of the leagues as it’s been a huge cash cow for Anet. Probably their 2nd biggest financial boon next to opening day sales.

Far as T1 servers dying, players in online games come and go all the time. That said the next big MMO title that will bring open world pvp is ESO. I wager many in GW2 will leave in droves to try that out and if ESO is good as advertised a good chunk of the playerbase will choose to stay there and will result in the “Tier 1” landscape to change dramatically.

Can someone from SoR tell me who are those other guilds are besides ZD, I am honestly confused?

It’s hard to explain SoR’s performance besides low morale when you guys were beating us last week this time or the last time we guys met before League starts. EU time hasn’t even started yet….

Pssssst. Do a search for your server mate Smokee’s past posts. I think he QQ’ed about the impact of what’s the big deal over One guild IRON for months on end. Now substitute IRON for ZD’s and you will get your answer.

Good try though man.

Yes please enlighten us as to what other guilds BG got in the last 1-2 weeks? Seems you know more than the people of Blackgate, my guild included which is part of the war council.. So yeah please feel free to tell me who else did we massively and magically recruit in the last 2 weeks?

Also I thinks its hilarious, go back to the last 2 weeks before seasons and read all the posts from mostly these same trolls and forum wariors from JQ and SOR… Not 1 of you gave BG a chance to win in our 1 v 1 matchups much less a 3 way… Not 1 of you posted anything other to than the fact BG would get their butts kicked in seasons and the best we could do is 3rd at best! Yall remember those posts? Cause guess what… we here at BG remember them.. and whether you show up or dont show up over the season i dont really care. Beating your server to dust is still satisfying for me, Hopefully out of the rubble a real fight will arise.

Least we didn’t start a QQ post and accuse our own server of tanking. Can’t say the same for yourself when you called out your BG mates, eh?

BG hasn’t gained any other guilds besides ZD since monday. As the poster above stated, morale in BG is very high at the moment.

Titan in the week 2 thread already stated he only brings his 70 man guild to WvW when Blackgate is winning. ZD’s numbers multiplied by the number of unmanned doors equates to another 100+ players that BG did not have prior to their move. In addition as Fannwong posted in the other thread, PVX from SOR went to BG as well. This is not counting the unknowns of which I already spotted a handful in this thread per their post history.

Good try though I hope all that Overtime and Guild purchases ensures BG for a dolyak finisher…

Citing my legitimate reasons as to why we may have had a drop in wvw people playing like a month or 2 ago is NOT QQing. Trying to help shed some light on the discussion that was taking place in that thread is what it IS. And if you read it you ding dong, you would see that . You take it however you want, and make whatever excuses you want. Cite my past posts when you want, and say anything you want.

It makes no difference, its sad that you all have appeared to just give up. its all good. You have to live with that , not me. And I wont even bother with any more replies to either scoot or any other IRON member, you all are nothing more than forum trolls. Good luck to the rest of your server, with you on it they are going to need it.

It’s all good Ferris, it’s only matter of time you accuse your own server BG of tanking again, it’s what you do brah.

Its funny hearing all these SoR talk about queue times on BG, when fact is BG as the only server didnt have queued maps in 4 out of 5 timezones in week 1. Then close to half of our SEA forces left us, and the closest thing we could get to a replacement was ZD, that plays in late SEA / early EU. In before you guys saying we got queues now, let me just say that we still dont have queues in other timezones than PST.

If you want to have a serious discussion about coverage, lets base it on facts and not on bs like that.

Smokee’s pot kettle black post history says all you need to know. If you want some real good comedy, check out his past posts!

Wow I normally am a poster that that salutes players on the opposing side, but this last week im finding it hard to salute anything from SOR, Your guys are not showing up, when they do its kitten, then yall just come here and make excuse after excuse after excuse for yourselves.

We got 1 guild guys… in a timezone that you…. SOR …….SMASHED us in 2or 3weeks ago, (late sea-early eu).

Stop your QQ it makes you look awful, and get your butts out on the field. We know you are better than this effort, and so do you.BG has fought you way to much and for way to long to just accept that THIS is the best you got. And BTW whether your looking at this week or last, it WASNT SEA-EU that sparked rallied and held onto an 18 k push in 2 days… it was NA prime and OCX that got that ball rolling. So no disrespect to our new transfer….. but BG started making that push long before our new Russian friends were even here.

So I challenge you SOR, come out and play. Bring what we know you can bring. Dont lay over and play dead( I dont care what the reason is). Because in the end BG is playing for 1st and always has been, so you can either lay there and take it lying down or play to your potenial and stop us in our tracks. Do you want it enough? Or do we? Time will only tell.

Challenge submitted, do you accept or crumble?

and here is Ferris Bueller QQing over his servers WvW lack of participation just a few months ago. Pot..Kettle..Black, and now that another server is feeling the same issues Ferris is crying foul cause not enough players are showing up, too funny!

Some things I know here on BG that may be a few reasons why our WvW participation is down a little:
1: Bored of the same match up over and over
2: There were some somewhat cool PVE events that guilds are completing
3: Lost a few very well respected commanders but more will take their place.
4: Lack of incentive to do WvW.. aka the rewards
5: We are reorganizing a bit with the change in seasons and school getting ready to be out

So where are those forces from less than a month ago then? During this time zone, we still done have queues for maps other than EBG and our home BL, if we’re lucky. SoR used to be able to field a force in every map. That wasn’t even long ago. Where did they all go?

Way to completely misconstrue my previous post about having fun in a fight

How would you know the history of numbers? you claimed in your post history you just started WvW after a 10 month break, lol these posting history of some of these BG trolls are great reads!

I joined WvW 2 weeks before leagues started (so about 3 weeks ago). Before that, I had taken about 10 months break from GW2

We still have nothing to cover your russian slot. Or ZDs planning to stop PvD? Don’s think so.

there’s no point trying to win against the overstacked server who buys to to queue up 24/7 to win, were just guna enjoy fights in our primetimes. Its a shame that BG dont realise how stacked they are and how bored they must be of the queues.. pity. Pretty much single handily ruined the seasons for all servers

Wow, BG gets one guild and it is stacked all of a sudden. The current blowout scores are because you are not showing up at all. And doesn’t sor play for fights? there is no reason to tick below sos

There is no reason to compete for first, we will never achieve it, so whats the point?

I see the SOR quitter mentality seeping into these forums. Guilds who are currently in the process of moving to SOR from certain EU servers should take note.

Guilds who want EZ mode and no fights should take note and continue to stack BG. I read from their commanders they got no queues 24/7

You’re just starting to sound as grumpy, whiney and bitter as Waage!

You cant troll with the truth, sorry Cod but your slacking <3

But it is only half the truth i guess. The other half is thats you guys are just not showing up.

Last weekend, SoR was wrecking BG…. Now – you have no queue on any BL?? (just tested)

So maybe BG covered a slot for the moment, but in the weekend that should’t matter one bit!!

Everyone knows coverage is the end all, be all, correct?

Your boy Smokee claimed post after post last week BG had zero queues for any time zone except late PST. His strategy worked to a tee as guilds like ZD’s immediately transferred over and am sure countless other smaller guilds or individual players did as well to escape the queues.

If you ever read about ZDs transfer, you would know they sent scouts to multiple servers, and they liked the fact we didn’t have late sea/early eu ques, so they transferred to bg. Continue crying about bg getting one guild. SoR isn’t even making an effort, not 1 map of sor is qued.

It’s sort of funny when even when one praises BG, they still get defensive, haha.

Blackgate played the politics to a tee and for that you guys should be commended.

Far as SOR not showing up, out of the 3 tier 1’s, SOR has the fewest 1st place finishes amongst the 3 so SOR’s lack of coverage game was not about to change anytime soon just cause leagues started.

In summary the last few posts are nothing but praise towards BG’s way, it’s sort of funny how some of you still get defensive when most of us state your coverage is greater than ours. Historically it’s been that way (based off medal finishes) and the start of the leagues have only increased the gap further.

Grats to BG server, a strong turn around following a poor weekend. /salute

Yep congrats BG. Still a long way to go for seasons. SOR is not out of with back to back 2nd place finishes aka 6 points.

That said it was a weird turn of events. We had queues on all 4 maps (shortest being a couple minutes at most) throughout last weekend late into Sunday night. Come early Monday morning (long before BG’s new guild had been scheduled to log for early EU time) SOR couldn’t even field one map, haha. It was almost as if everyone finished off their achievements at once and quit WvW for the week which allowed BG to take full advantage and carried the momentum onward.

Where was BG over the weekend when SoR took a 17K lead?

What people do not seem to understand that ZD has filled a hugh hole for BG between SEA and EU when SoR does not have much organization or coverage. They are able to flip everything uncontested and T3 it making it much harder to take later on. Not a huge concept to understand. However I do not see how that could be much fun for them, but to each their own.

The fact ZD transferred to an already stacked server and chose the server who had already pulled out a week 1 win says all there is to know about their competitive level.

Anyway is ZD gonna stay at BG? Or they gonna go back

Considering ZD transferred to an already stacked server who had pulled out a week 1 win vs JQ and SOR, looks to me they were looking to PvDoor for their achievements so wouldn’t surprise me if they stick around.

I am actually quite disappointed in IRON in this match-up. We see IRON all the time starting play from SEA all the way to NA. And yet when ZD shows up to give you guys good fights, you suddenly stop playing? What happened to the guild that is just here “for the fights” and don’t care win or loss?

On the other hand, guilds like TW and Choo on SoR do still show-up to fight even when the server is losing, that seems to me more aligned with the “for the fights” attitude.

Iron do not start play until 6-7 uk time those iron you see are just floating around .
we would happily fight zds on their own but zd+freinds are just one big map blob
We run tagless and try as hard as possible to run just as Iron. . We are on every night trying our best to combat the blobbiest blobby blobs of bg . And one thing we never do is run from a fight anyone who really knows us knows that’s the case .

The usual prime time for IRON may be 6-7 UK time, however I think a lot of people can attest the fact that it is not unusual to see a decent sized IRON group start playing much earlier. I know our SEA players talk about fighting IRON all the time. So the question is why don’t you guys show up earlier like you did before to fight ZDs?

As for the map blob comment, you may be right you may be wrong. The problem is everyone complains that the opponent server has map blobs, it is hard to tell when it is true and when it is not. However I do think your server maybe demoralized this week while our server has high morale, so we may well be outnumber you in pugs now.

What’s the big deal? everyone needs a break now and then. It’s a great opportunity for you to pick herbs and run a karma train.

I’d love to see BG win the seasons and TC come second, both servers actually deserve it.

Week 7, JQ vs BG vs SOR

3rd wheel will decide who to help focus 2 v 1. The great thing about chest thumpers in this thread (not saying you are one )is they just add another notch to their servers upcoming focus fire.

Enjoy your wins, but brings lots of tissue come week 7.
