Is there something I’m missing about the whole notion of “server loyalty”? Why does the term hold any value? A server is simply a server; shouldn’t that loyalty be directed to the friends you have on that server instead? If your fun is being compromised by staying on a particular server—or you feel that more enjoyment could be had elsewhere—then for what reason do you have to remain apart from your friends?
Speak to them; convince them that it’s just a bullkitten concept. We paid money for the game; you shouldn’t feel like a certain fallacy should prevent you from enjoying it as much as you should. In the end, it’s quite possible that this meaningless pride is just going to be detrimental in the long run.
You are confused about the semantics. By server loyalty, people are actually referring to people who stick with the server. A server’s identity is comprised solely of the people that it is made up of.
If you were a IoJ, you deserted the people who chose to stay in that server. They have the right to call you traitor.
Actually, they don’t really. If they had opted to avail themselves of any one of the many many repeated attempts to get them to join wvw to bolster the numbers from within, then the final exodus would never have occurred. As has been stated repeatedly, people are commenting on their opinion of what has transpired with IOJ, without actually having an awareness of the facts. Clearly the facts don’t make for as much of a compelling story and can’t stir the drama up like the unsubstantiated assertions that other people have been making.
You think you’re refuting the assumptions from outsiders, but in the content of you post, you just claimed that you were betrayed (by presumably the PvE’rs in LA), so you betray (IoJ’s existing WvW population) in return. This is just confirming what the outsiders assumed. And just where do you think these assumptions come from, anyway? It’s when as a last ditch effort before they nail the coffin, the last survivors of the IoJ WvW team made one post in this tier’s thread, making their voice heard just one last time. Before being silenced forever. Karma, it will get you soon.
Absolute rot. You think you are being clever with words but in actual fact you’ve made my point precisely. I don’t recall saying that the regular wvw’ers were betrayed at all – they are your words rather than mine. You’re simply clutching at straws.
Let’s be quite honest – it’d be like me coming here and spouting my opinion about why guilds are leaving CD (if in fact that is happening). I have absolutely no idea about the true reason that guilds may or may not be leaving and if I surmised in this forum, then I would be quite prepared to have my assessment corrected by those that are actually active on CD and much more knowledgeable than I. You on the other hand seem to want to present your assessment of the IOJ wvw move to FA as fact when in reality, it is simply your opinion. What I have attempted to point out to you is that there is a stark difference between your assessment/opinion and the actual facts. It is entirely up to you whether you accept that or not.
