ip address. That’s how. For example they know I have two legitimate accounts, both paid accounts but I’m only permitted to post with one of them in these forums.

They know this from the ip address.

> I once helped someone get a guild up and running. Claimed the guild hall and was then asked if I wanted in - sure. Deposited a lot of mats to upgrade. A few weeks in, was asked to help deposit some more mats for a larger upgrade while waiting for aetherium or whatever. I did, everyone was happy. Next day, the guild was gone. Well, I suppose it's still there and most likely have a guild membership count of one.

agreed...

I helped a guild in the same way. As a fully upgraded scribe I started pumping mats into the hall and helping upgrade it. I put a LOT into it and was happy to help.

Suddenly I was demoted and couldn’t even do scribe stuff. I was told it was because I didn’t rep the guild all the time... which was never noted as any requirement. I just quietly left and made a reminder to myself to help people I know.... period.

Having run a guild for six years I adjusted how my guild bank works. The stash is MY vault where I put the most valuable stuff and gold. The other vaults are used for anything I don’t mind being leeched.

If people have access to them then I fully permit them to take what they want.

The top vault, Stash, contains things used for contests and/or for people that want something “shiny”. If a member simply asks then I’m happy to give ONE per!

I have only one other member in my guild that accesses the stash and I’ve known this person for a few years now.

Adopt this format and your thieving issues are gone.

Really? I have to say no way to this. For example... today I was with 8 people on our home bl, SoS - Desert bl this week. So we say hey let's to take that T3 sw camp... and I say... be ready for the BG blob.. because it WILL come. We got there and ONE BG guy was there... and seriously within 30 seconds at least 25 BG dropped on us and blobbed us to death.. you're right though.. not a single green ally to be found... 25+ yes.. lol :)

lol.. I actually know that... it was actually more directed to the other reply included in here which isn't actually an issue either.... and I would never report it as an attack... but I gotta tell ya... I've been zapped by sensitive people more times than I care to remember and warned a few times for such things.. It makes me crazy because frankly this is a forum of gamers. A little banter, imo, should be welcome so no offense taken here. Just a word of caution.. some people are more sensitive and when you least expect it.. BAM. :)

Not sure what the personal attack is all about but just because I can actually kill opponents doesn't mean they're bad. Just as playing a ranger doesn't mean you're a bad player.

> Uhm... I don't know which server you're on, but if you want to see how essential ranger is in blobs (compared to spellbreaker) , have a look at Vabbi 's ranger build for blobs.

Well I'm not really comparing the two as blob fighters... As I have noted they aren't the best thing in zergs if all you're doing is fighting. If, however, you are fighting AND taking towers and keeps then the Ranger becomes an extremely valuable tool to have around. I run all classes. Love ranger/soulbeast the best for the fun of it. If we're into full heavy fighting I typically switch to another class but mostly stay on my soulbeast as much as I can.

I find soulbeast more versatile than most other classes, (for me!), so that's where I find my fun. My only issue is with people continuing to say it simply has no place in zergs when actually it does. ;)

Yes, it's pretty funny to me.. the mostly "one trick pony" called spellbreaker which is mainly good for the short lived bubble and boring to play otherwise is lauded like a little god.

It's possible that might be true for some rangers? I can't say most because frankly I don't know. For all the Ranger promo that I do in here I do have to agree that too many of the people I see playing the ranger class really don't play it well or seem to understand it. There are other rangers that run in our groups that I'm happy to say know the class so when we're hitting a structure we can clear siege quickly. btw, axe #4 can be used to pull people off a wall, one of the ranger pets has a pull as well... so many people don't realize this.

If more people would take the time to really understand and USE this class to its potential then it would be much more welcome in these groups.. I think. :)

I run soulbeast almost exclusively. Now and then I switch to spellbreaker or mesmer for variety. But.... all this talk about reflects is sooooo highly overrated. In all the years I've been running ranger up to and including now I probably encounter reflect to my longbow maybe once a week if at all... and THAT is when I'm fighting roamers.. not zergs. Why? Because I'm patient.. I never hit first. I wait for the group to attack, I watch for the enemy to be grouping toward a location, then I power up the buffs (increasing to 90-100% crit chance and over 240% crit damage and 3k power).. and pound the spot. Typically I see at least 3-5 people downed by the time the barrage is done. Then I start cleaving.

If you play it right, you ARE very helpful. No I don't do healing, no I don't clear condi... I am purely a dps beast that knows how to play with a zerg and the groups I run with have no problem with me doing what I do. AND of course, I clear wall siege like nobody's business... ;)

> @"Laurencius.9258" said:

> It's expensive to randomly change servers whenever other players harass me for being a ranger. Does anyone know a server that actually wants rangers for WVW? Thanks in advance!

You want a place where rangers aren't scorned? Especially soulbeasts? Come to SoS.. oh wait we're full! :( But you could come to the linked server, (currently SoR). People that scorn rangers with zergs have a faulty way of thinking. Yes I agree that if all you want is to go out and fight in the field forever then you don't want a big squad of rangers... but they DO (at least mine does) a huge amount of damage to a lot of people at once (despite what non ranger players say), and cleaving downs is a great function from the outside of the fight. I also have a decent amount of survivability.... when I'm not targeted that is! lol People see Platinum and above and love to mob them for some reason.

Let's move to the other parts of WvW. Believe it or not WvW is not all about the fights. We actually capture towers and Keeps. Inside these structures is siege, and even with the nasty changes ANet has done to make it harder to 'see' over the wall I can still take down siege that's hitting our group. Add a few more rangers and siege doesn't last more than a minute or two. We are able to get in quicker and alive. Remove all the rangers and try to rely on an ele or two and tell me how well that goes. Ele's can't range like rangers can, they can't fire into a group and hit 5 targets at once and so on... and they can't put out the sustained damage that my ranger can.

If you're good at ranger then nobody I know on my server is going to deny you entry into a squad. Look me up in game and we can chat more if you are serious. Move to SoR then if SoS ever opens you can move here. :)

I guess that was the purpose of the linking to begin with... that is, rebalance populations for more equal fights. But of course people didn't like that idea and a lot of them now just server hop each time there's a relink, which simply makes the idea of relinking a waste of time. Even adjusting the number of servers to some lower number wouldn't stop bandwagoning. The only thing that will halt server hopping will be to close servers and that's not going to happen of course.

Server system is bad and it's been bad for years. Only time it worked was when the game had a mega population but once that dies down it doesn't work anymore.

You are a server leader according to your tag. Yes the server system hasn't worked too well due in large part to the players themselves. The Alliance system that may be coming will hopefully be a much better system but time will tell on that one. But making simple three sets of blobs running in different instances because there's way too many people for one instance is simply EOTM. It's NOT WvW. For all it's bad stuff WvW is still way better than EOTM ever was.

If there's that many people that want to run as megaservers then the thing to do would be to rally ANet to create a separate pip system for EOTM and give its own rewards etc.

Nobody that I know personally in this game would be happy about having to bounce around instances like EOTM trying to find their friends to run with.

There is no balance in eotm. It's not true wvw and doesn't reflect what the whole rvr is all about. Yes, I would stop playing if they turned wvw into megaservers.

If they tried the eotm overflow system in wvw ever I would stop playing immediately. I'd rather queue than wind up in a different instance than my server mates. eotm2 definitely would not work in any way good to solve the current problems.

lol... they called that Edge of the Mists. It looked like wvw but wasn't. At best a change like that would send every true wvw player out of that mode permanently. I most definitely would retire before I hit that 4k mark I've been edging closer to since other than a handful of times I didn't play in EOTM.

All their efforts to squeeze out more money from the player base that do only WvW is by integrating PvE elements into it, but that's all. Same with PvP and crafting to get items > materials > PvE.

Truly imo there really is no reason to transfer. People transferring because they're "looking for fights" make me chuckle really. Most of the wvw players these days have hundreds of wvw xp, not over a thousand like the minority has. Considering wvw has been here for over 6 years now there should really be a huge number more people well over the 3k mark than there are. This shows how many have left wvw and in many cases, gw2 altogether.

SoS had a handful of guilds leave to find "better fights"... I'll never understand that.... unless they moved somewhere that they KNOW the enemy is organized better than anywhere else and gives them good fights.. AND they keep moving to fight them... We have a good OCX group so we tend to rise up the ranks because of course our ppt stays up there after most others have gone to sleep. Sooo.. we continue to get tons of enemy to fight. Even with this I guess it's not enough to keep people from bandwagoning off for "greener grass".

At the end of the day it is what it is. People do what they need to do to find their fun. If that means transfering every link then that's what they'll do and yes ANet will be happy to collect the money for gems because there's not that many people with that much gold to just convert just anytime they like... I think.
