I loved the new invasion events! I actually felt like I was doing something epic staying alive and trying to burn down seemingly endless waves of enemies. To those that say it is just another zerg, I would disagree—we had to actively spread out and coordinate to get the portals that needed more help to close or we wouldn’t have made it in time. As someone who often finds myself in T1 WVW I am no stranger to being unable to act due to lag but I found I was able to respond fine with the medium settings that relate to character quality/number and the setting that limits particle/spell effects. Kudos to Anet too for making it so that the overflow has a concurrent event so people aren’t left out. As far as the whole “DR” thing goes, I wonder if there are nicknames for other cities; would a Norn say “Back in ’Brack…”? 
If I may make a random observation, when randomly joining a party for farming purposes, I suddenly become more protective of my team mates even though they are as much strangers to me as everyone else. I find myself standing in fire fields trying to revive someone thinking “Oh no! Not XxxPwns, he’s my friend!*” Kudos to Anet for fostering a psychology of selflessness. Am I alone here ?
