Balthazzarr.1349 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 OK! I am FAR from the conspiracy theorist... as far as you can get... and last night... oh baby... it doesn't get any clearer than this. NSP was trying to take our Bay.. Out of nowhere comes a BG blob and hits our Garri... takes down the outter se gate. Then sits on the se wall running back and forth. The moment Bay is capped by NSP then BG leaves. Oh ya they take NET and fire a few shots at Garri to make it look like they actually wanted to hit it... then they were gone again. Nobody can convince me that this wasn't clearly planned.. even if ONLY by BG themselves. NSP might not have even known about it for all that matters. But it was clearly an assist to have Bay taken by NSP. After all is said and done I'm not complaining at all... I'm amused. I have many thoughts as we humans do about the motivation and at the end of the day it really doesn't matter. I suppose if I was in the server with more people than any other server by far, and bored, I would also want to find ways to amuse myself. I mean it really has to be boring knowing that all you need to do is blob up and take what you really want if you want to... much of the time anyway. Hey I'm pretty sure I saw XTD in there causing trouble too! ahahaaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YB gave up last week cause commanders didn't want to fight BG and their 24/7 coverage anymore, that's it. It's disappointing to say the least but I can kinda understand why, they can't be expected to either run wvw like a 40 hour a week job or constantly come in to pick up the pieces.

Strider Pj.2193 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 It is amazing. People continue to think that they are important enough to be 2v1'd. Seen a true 2v1 during tournaments when BG was double teamed by JQ and TC. Was on TC at the time. Our guild refused to play along and hit JQ targets. Was fun to wreck them. Then something interesting happened: Our own server started to give our position to JQ commanders. Led to more fights which was good. Even some of the BG groups saw, helped when they could. The real reason? Map politics. Of course, most today don't understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s the secret to bg success. Bg players love the wvw mode. That’s it. We don’t get demoralized in the sense that you propose. When we get pressed the pugs fight harder, commanders tag up more often, scouts stay up later, guilds get more organized, and so on. I understand how fashionable it is to hate on Blackgate but you can’t demoralize people doing what they love to do. We don’t win every fight but we keep coming back for more.

cobbah.3102 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Quit the complaining and play the game , change tactics BG are beatable , there are ways you just have to use them if after how long you haven't worked it out you never will .

I have no idea how long it lasted with Maguuma since I wasn't there to see it. I'll let someone from Maguuma speak on that topic. However, it was several weeks when JQ and 2 links were dominating T1. BG actually dropped to T2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s kind of a running joke on bg that the other servers think of us as a blobbing monster. Like I said bg players love wvw, that’s why we are not always but consistently successful. > The reason BG has been so consistently successful is because the server has consistently attracted people who will do almost anything to win and will press any advantage they get no matter how boring or personally dissatisfying it may be to do so. BG attracts the utterly ruthless win-the-game-at-any-costs types as well as those who are seemingly immune to boredom. The two put together make BG a truly formidable opponent with only one or two obvious weaknesses which very few servers have ever been able to effectively exploit. Those two things put together are also what's most lacking in every other server in the game currently and that's why BG always wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
