And he takes punches to the face for a living

That's compensating for something if I ever saw it xD

Bah, some of us moved out of our parent's basement willingly

He could ask which server has presence, but could use a few extra hands.

He could play on EU servers.

He could inquire about ANYTHING but "Which NA server most active during eu"

He _can't_ transfer to BG because so many already beat him to it.

This particular common genre of post is my personal pet peeve. This posters' not even new, yet he'd ask the rest of us to aid his desire to throw things off further

it's frankly callous

Hi, I'm looking to add to the time zone imbalance problem in WvW.

Which server should I choose to have the lest chance of ever being outnumbered?

Well, a slight feeling of nausea is perfectly normal around one's crush.

I believe it's referred to as "butterflies in the stomach"

> Kinda think you aren't paying attention to the replies. YB is NOT cooperating with BG. There has been NO coordinated double team. Most of us would prefer you PPT to your hearts content. However, if you think that SoS hasn't backcapped, taken advantage of 3rd server focus, and otherwise done EXACTLY what you are accusing YB/BG of doing, you haven't been paying attention the last several months.

That's EXACTLY what that'd say if there WAS collusion.

Oh wait,

Nothing to see here, carry on

To paraphrase one of my favorite presidential debates (Mcain/Obama) the modern military has a severe lack of bayonets and cavalry sabres, yet defends itself perfectly well. The current meta is more minefield than pirate ship ala WWI. The blob finds a short defensive line, plasters it with semipermanant aoe then waits for the other side to attempt a frontal assualt... So yeah, swords don't come into it til quite late in the engagement, lots of loitering.

As to which class doesn't have viable ranged... Sounds like something a warrior would say, and they'd be full of it.

That's how the get you.

One minute it's all friendly conversation, next 70% of the species has Genghis Khan ancestry.

I think enough time was spent on moving jaws and /sit

The game has frills aplenty

> > > > > >

> > > > > > Well look at it this way, if you lower the population caps to 20% of the current thresholds which means less people playing which means less coverage and will result in less fights. Reshuffle players every 2 months which means players have no server pride. Require players to have to mark a guild specifically for wvw so they can play together, which means this will separate guilds from militia and access to a potential recruiting pool. Put a small cap on the number of guilds allowed into an alliance. Auto assign players to worlds based on their activity level, which means separating new players from experienced players and guilds from even more potential recruits.

> > > > > >

And all the people blindly supporting it will be back here complaining about the lack of fights, lack of coverage, and everyone just pvd'ing all day. Those same guilds will die off one by one because of lack of fights and recruits.

So basically one way around it is to have a bunch of people join one big guild, mark it as your wvw guild to get everyone on the same alliance/server and then play with your normal guild to get around this cap.

> > >

> > > That is true to a point. But if an alliance number has a hard cap of let's say 500, and a 501st player tries to join, i would imagine (though I don't know) it will likely lead to a choice: the guild leaves the alliance, or that player would not be in the alliance OR guaranteed to run with their WvW guild until matchups change and people leave the guild/alliance.

Rewards weren't required for our current debacle.

People will be Petty for it's own sake.

It took an additional year to implement gliding in WvW.

YOU STOP AGREEING WITH ME RIGHT MEOW

No doubt a variable match count will be part of the coming alliance system.

And you're right, there's too many empty slots for everything but EB.

Asura commanders prefer to master-blaster with norn mounts

Next expac underwater....?

Well that'll fix everything xD

Just the part where you open the scoreboard to feel superior.

It's silly I agree but A LOT of mmorpg players seem to need that ego boost.

pfft ghetto trebs in 2018

shameful

NEVER SELL ANYTHING, YOU DON'T KNOW WHO MIGHT BUY IT.

Aiding the enemy is a capital offense, soldier.

Think a bit deeper?

I think just the amount of times I've seen _double downed_ blob players get rezzed faster than we can down and stomp is obscene. It frankly boggles the mind to even see it argued the opposite.

The reasons most cited by qiitting small groups, that this game no longer has small groups: aoe cap, sentry balloons, combat speed and DOWNSTATE.

Well, when we take an opponents keep there isn't much call for charrcars as everyone's already at their destination.

Biker gang gotta ride or it's just out-of-shape baby boomers sweating in leather.
