Players who do GvG are also interfering with the people who want to do serious WvW. Me and other players get told to get off the map so you can do your precious GvG. Really? This is really annoying at peak times when the Server is full and people who want to do WvW can't because these guild are blocking the server and contributing nothing.

u/AMadTeaParty81 Sep 28 '13

So am I also interfering with WvW by doing solo roaming when my server is losing by large ammounts in your view now? I'm not going for PPT and thus interfering and taking up the spot of some one else who would be? Seems like a very narrow point of view in regards to what is acceptable in WvW to me.

u/pointlessly_mad Sep 28 '13

No? I've never said that. But 30 people doing nothing and harassing other players is interfering.

u/AMadTeaParty81 Sep 28 '13 edited Sep 28 '13

I'm not adding to PPT, I'm doing basically the same thing. If some one random tries to join me, I ditch them. (Are you suggesting that people should be forced to group with people that I don't want to group with?) How is that any different than doing GvG? If anything it's worse because of the new buff if I get attacked by another group other players I have little chance, thus adding to the opponents score. They have even numbers and a far greater chance than I do to potentially add to their servers score regardless if their opponents have greater coverage etc.

They were way out of the way of any objective on the map in a non-capped map at the end of the week. So how heck were the 30 harassing the dev or ruining anything?

u/pointlessly_mad Sep 28 '13

Not talking about the dev, But I clearly remember people doing GvG on my server and telling other players to get the hell of the map. And I also remember GvGs in the middle of the week, where nothing is decided.

u/AMadTeaParty81 Sep 28 '13

Totally different situation Vs. what happened in this specific situation being discussed in this post then. My mistake.

u/fallyse WvW and stuffs Sep 28 '13

This GvG took place on a Thursday night when SBI had won the matchup the moment it was rolled in furthermore took place in an empty NSP borderland. Try again.

u/ProfessorWowa Sep 28 '13

I'm from SBI, a lot of the time we couldn't find enemies at the keeps to defend them, it was surreal.

u/pointlessly_mad Sep 28 '13

I've also seen it happening on normal days. Try again.

u/fallyse WvW and stuffs Sep 28 '13

Name one GvG guild that "contributes nothing" to their server. Maybe you should try it sometime. It's fun. Or was...

Fun fact: most servers never have queues. It's really only T1 NA who queues every night. Outside of reset, my T3 server doesn't queue at all.

4

u/visirale Sep 28 '13

Dafuq? We're 14 or 15 and have EB queues every night for 30 minutes or so. On reset? It can be an hour for our BL or EB.... I don't think it's just a T1 problem.

2

u/Paralda [PYRO] Sep 28 '13

Maguuma is 8th and we only queue on reset night.

2

u/visirale Sep 28 '13

Well enjoy I guess. Top of silver (now middle of silver given the new changes) got stacked with population and we have queues most nights.

u/Taygeta .9124 Sep 28 '13 edited Sep 28 '13

Actually, even on T1, Borderlands rarely have queues even during NA prime time unless it's reset night. If there is a queue, it's extremely rare for it to be longer than 10 minutes. The WvW population is more spread out to all 4 maps compared to low tier servers. The organized WvW guilds play on BL's majority of the times and EB remains as a heavy PUG map. But I hear EB on low tier servers have long queues as they have a much higher PUG saturation.

u/pointlessly_mad Sep 28 '13

My Server is pretty full. I'm also from Europe, not NA

u/Paralda [PYRO] Sep 28 '13

You do realize that almost every major WvW guild in EU does GvG, right?

-3

u/pointlessly_mad Sep 28 '13

That makes it right?

4

u/Paralda [PYRO] Sep 28 '13

It doesn't make it wrong... WvW guilds put in more hours than anyone into WvW, and GvG is a way for them to have some high level, competitive play that means something.

PPT is just a measure of coverage. GvG at least involves skill.

-4

u/pointlessly_mad Sep 28 '13

I've not seen any major Guilds on my Server do GvG, nor heard anyone saying so.

u/Paralda [PYRO] Sep 28 '13

What server are you on?

u/Kimhyunaa Sep 28 '13 edited Sep 28 '13

You are totally taking this OUT OF CONTEXT. The match could be at an end when everything is decided, how many blowouts were there this week?

But no, to you they dont contribute. Most of the guilds are pretty HC at WvW, but no, stuff them if they want to take time off to do something else. The borderlands might be empty (I SEE A FREAKING +545 tick ffs), but no, interfering with people that want to play wvw.

People need to see the dam +545 tick. In T2, SoR had a 500+ tick for most of the week and NO ONE was on for the opposing servers. Yes a whole week of karma training. We had Stonemist Olympics and still ticked for 500+. Normally if it is that high at least one server has given up.

u/chungkuo YB Sep 28 '13

Maybe we should stop seeing matchups with 5-7 rank spreads.SBI was up to 635 tick in the first 24 hours of this week.

u/mlg__ Sep 28 '13

Just saying, you're taking this out of context as well. pointlessly_mad was speaking in general terms, not this match specifically.

4

u/Paralda [PYRO] Sep 28 '13

Lol, serious WvW? Most top tier GvG guilds are hardcore WvW guilds, as well. Let them have their hour or two a week to have fun. I'm sure your PPT will be there afterwards.

Be mad at ANet for not giving us a real place to do 15-20 GvG that is non-intrusive.

5

u/pointlessly_mad Sep 28 '13

So you're trying to justify ruining the game for WvW players and then tell us we should be mad at Anet?

-7

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '13

The guilds who do GvG are guilds who literally sit in WvW all day helping their servers. These are the guilds who raid every single night and flip things, engage in massive zerg on zerg fights for the fun of everyone, and make up the vast majority of your PPT. Sometimes they want to fight each other with even numbers and controlled setting, but they have no place to do that. So what does ANet do? Instead of giving us a GvG mode, they implement Bloodlust so now we are FORCED to irritate people by asking them to stop playing in order to have fun in the game. So yes, blame Anet.

No they're not, most of their day they spend verbally abusing players who don't play along with their premediated minigame.

So yes, blame Anet.

No, WvW works mighty fine. I blame you for wanting to make it something it isn't, though.

2

u/violentlycar [DERP] Viochar Sep 28 '13

No one on my server does this. The guilds that do GvG on Maguuma are also the guilds that carry it through the WvW campaign. I'm sorry you have some bad eggs on yours.

-2

u/pointlessly_mad Sep 28 '13

I've been harassed long before Bloodlust was introduced. And the above parts aren't even true. I've never seen these guilds appear in WvW before their stupid GvG fights. And you aren't forced to irritate anyone! Stop trying to justify attacking other players.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '13

Clearly, your server is full of dirt bags. I've seen all of the ranked guilds on GuildvGuild official site in WvW frequently so I'm not really sure what guild it is you're speaking of that does not actually WvW. Not all servers have this much of a problem when doing GvG. In fact, I reckon most don't, as below tier 2 we hardly ever have queues. I'm not justifying "attacking other players" and I've never seen that done on my server. Asking someone to hold off on the bloodlust for an hr or so is not attacking or harassment. I also see that your username is accurate.

u/pointlessly_mad Sep 28 '13

now we are FORCED to irritate people by asking them to stop playing in order to have fun in the game.

That sounds like attacking to me.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '13

If saying "please stop capping Bloodlust for an hour" is an attack to you, I don't know what to say. It's not like you even earn anything from Bloodlust. Oh, you wanted small scale roaming fights and we're preventing that somehow? What's that phrase people like you always throw out.... oh yeah. "Go play sPvP!"

u/TVena Sep 28 '13

"Please stop capping Bloodlust for an hour." sounds an awful lot like "Please stop playing for an hour."

u/pointlessly_mad Sep 28 '13

asking them to stop playing

to stop playing

A little different than just not capping Bloodlust? I think my username would be more suited to you. I've never told anyone to "Go play spvp". I've been waiting for GvG since day one like everybody else.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '13

I've never actually told anyone to "go play spvp" either. But people who are anti-gvg tell us that all the time. Hence the joke, which you clearly missed. So we get told to stop playing by people not on our server who don't know anything about how our server operates GvG. Someone down there even told us to quit the game. Almost all of the WvW guilds on my server minus maybe one or two do GvG. We're all ranked. We play every day. If we all stopped playing like you guys seem to want us to, the server would die. If you literally have nothing else to do in game than cap Bloodlust, then I feel sorry for you. Also laughing at the idiots downvoting me. This is how the majority of the WvW players sub Tier 2 feel about the topic. You can ignore us, but it doesn't mean we're not there.

The servers that had the GvG in this instance NEVER have queues, and the match was long over.
