This is what I think also.

> > i do understand all this 'toxic' behaviour towards pugs that just want to leech, that makes sense so you can play the game coordinated within your group. but while doing that also stacking on one server you get yourselves the issue that you wont have anyone to fight against. etheri is right there are many leeching pugs infact so many they can fill tons of servers yet the more harcore players can maybe fill 1 or 2 servers. now vabbi has to -as etheri put it- bully one or two PPT servers, spawn camp them till they log off or they cant keep up with the PPT to stay in their tier yet they dont get servers willing to fight them in any tier and this wont change. those pugs wont suddenly become better if the more harcore player leave them. they just ignore the elitist server if it is in the matchup and have fun with the other. with this stacking and then bullying vabbi might even reduce overall players in WvW or you attract more and more pug bandwagoners that you then need to get rid off. so while the toxicity makes sense, your stacking is just stupid, you dont have anyone to fight and those pug servers wont improve much without more harcore people and fighting only other pugs while avoiding vabbi. that stacking makes zergfights in EU really a joke. you get rid of the pugs for your server but those pugs are still in the mode and the mode needs their numbers.

>

> How is it the mistake of a grp of ppl who play together that EU wvw is dieing? In the past there were more organized grps like the ones on vabbi or wsr. Can you blame some ppl who play together for more than 4 years for playing together? No one on vabbi/wsr asked for over 9000 pugs to join your raids. The ppl I know just wanna have fun with ppl who they know for so long and who want to organize for teamplay. Because wvw is a teambased mode. Its for sure not the mistake of wsr or vabbi that there are no other grps who try to organize and get better at the game. For sure ppl come to a good server because its the ez way. Would you ask Ronaldo to play for your local football club with ppl who are not on his level infact far below his level? I guess not. First of all he would never do it for the money but he also would not do it because it would be so boring for him. If other players would step up and organize themselves you would not have so many players on wsr or vabbi.

I can’t help but to laugh at this comparison. The Ronaldos of WvW? That is so comical, and quite sad, at the same time.

Ooooh Vabbi. Well that explains this thread then.

This sounds more like the “Good ol’boys” system. Or a WvW version of Mean Girls lol “You can’t sit with us!” Lol

Interesting. Does the afk timer happen anywhere else other than wvw?

> Unless you're coming in with a set of full ascended gear already, fractals always seemed to give a good sense of progression. You start out learning the basics in tier 1, then when you finally get that first piece or two of ascended gear, you can do 25 and the first couple of levels of T2. As you get higher up, you get better rewards, and each piece of ascended loot, even the recipes and ascended mats, feed into making you strong enough to climb higher. By the time you reach personal level 100, you should have a full set of ascended gear that you've built over the course of your journey. The various collections, and legendary backpack journey helps make it interesting as well. Some of the challenge motes for the legendary backpiece are a decent challenge, especially if you're pugging it.

>

> Fractals do also reward a decent amount of gold and decent equipment rewards. And there's plenty of unique skins (of debatable quality) aside from the backpieces (of which there's actually 7) Fractal weapons, gold fractal weapons, nightmare and caustic nightmare skins, mistwild greatsword, unique infusions.

>

> Now, once you get to the top, there's nowhere to go except the grind for titles and infusions, but with almost 25 different fractals there's enough variety to keep it interesting. Is doing the same raids week after week any different? I haven't yet got to the point of doing CM 99 and 100, but I could see those get boring if you did it every day.

That's very insightful, thank you. Most of my characters are all in full ascended already. No AR yet but I can buy some when the time comes. Ill gear up my warrior, study the mechanics at the low levels and work my way up from there. Seems like there are some cool things to see, receive and learn so will give it a shot. Thank you!

Good day everyone,

I'm one of those 95% WvWers but recently that environment has gotten a little stale for me so now I'm looking at Fractals. After reading the wiki and a few guides about fractals, my question is, what is the draw of doing this instanced content? Are there any unique rewards besides the back piece? Is it a stepping stone towards doing raids?

I've settled on this build for starting out: https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_Core_Power_Banners but just not sure what the selling points are for doing the same thing over and over again.

Any insight from Fractal Guru's would be much appreciated!

Curious as I’ve only read the first page, but is this thread actually promoting the online bullying of others?

Its good to know that LB3 issue happens to others. For a second I thought it was me. It’s so annoying.

Although I know the benefits of merging and unmerging, I enjoy camping from time to time. Kinda feels like a “nature’s warrior” vibe without the pesky pet management. I’ve also been told that since I camp I may as well just go warrior lol

Mesmer is a meme at this state i can't take seriously any player which plays with that _professionally_ in pvp.

I cannot agree more with the points brought up in this post. The cooldown clunkiness deters me greatly from such a great profession theme. Please consider the changes Anet. SUUUUCH a huge and much needed quality of life change.

Interesting concept, and very creative. I’d probably give it a try also. No stun break in utilities intentional?

Hunger Games style

This. Strange thing, being an adult.

I’d like Scrapper’s hammer to be as fluid as Warrior’s greatsword

Good day everyone,

I have now three characters that utilize the Hammer as a weapon and think it’s time to upgrade their hammer to a legendary. The professions I use hammer on are Herald and Spellbreaker for zerging and hammer scrapper for fun roaming.

Which legendary hammer do you enjoy

I'm curious what the ranking would be from Most Complex (so "respected" by the righteous) to Easiest (Go home noob you're boring).

Mesmer isnt going anywhere

Love me some Elixirsmith <3

Haha forgot about those

Thanks for the tip!

Dye it blue and you have Sonic the Hedgehog

Curious, I wasn't playing during the warrior worker meta, but hammer is chosen for Cc and Sword is chosen for the movement and imob?

Yes. Using it procs attacker's insight which got nerfed a tiny bit. Sorry thought thats what you were referring to.

You mean how it procs attacker's insight?
