EremiteAngel.9765 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I've been seeing many new low ranked roamers in WvW. And quite a few fight like pros. Just wondering why all the new accounts with low ranks =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigand.9502 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Could be alts too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 It might be like Hoodie mentioned, or people that either made new accounts and trying out diff servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coro.3176 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 It's most likely an alt account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubi.4136 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 All my accounts are on TC, but most are low rank cause when I ticket cap one I switch to the next. Silver, bronze, bronze, and after this past week, bronze on the last one too. It was fun being no rank and having gold+ think I was a pve'er and then blow them up.

Bigpapasmurf.5623 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Its a great way to teach ppl how to WvW (if they are legit new). People I down then spare to show were not all ruthless. Ive recruited a few ppl this way. I say bring em on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe this is why I never assume anything from rank until I see how they play - it's exciting to risk letting them do some hits to see their level unless they one shot you. Gotta always be on toes even if they have low rank or default looking armor lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Alt accounts if their mains were banned for 6 months from the wave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is why we are seeing way more hacks now than before the ban wave. Seems harsh, but they should make it so F2P accounts can not do wvw or ranked pvp.

BlueMelody.6398 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Same conclusion, tons of low-levelers who know exactly what they are doing and sometimes react so fast you believe most of them are using macros if not worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shining One.1635 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I've seen several pairs of identical (including rank) mesmers lately. I don't know if it's a new thing or I just haven't been paying close enough attention before. It makes for very confusing fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownmug.8357 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yup, whenever I lose to new wvw players they're always covert pvp veterans or hackers using alt accounts. Otherwise it was because the sun was in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, that reminds me of some people in pvp who use almost identical names and they make identical looking characters, it is very confusing indeed. I've only seen a few people do it in wvw and it always makes people scratch their heads because they think they are fighting one mesmer with insane cooldowns/skills. I wonder if any irl twins do that with their mesmers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napo.1230 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I made a new account just to see if i liked a server and to save me server transferring. Not a pro or anything but not a true bronze. I feel like a few people do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems harsh, but they should make it so F2P accounts can not do wvw or ranked pvp. All that would do is create a situation where ArenaNet and their payment method is going to be dealing with fraudulent accounts. This is why even games where you pay for your accounts (i.e. GTA Online) still end up suspending the same people several times indefinitely or until the person gives up buying cheap fraudulent accounts.

Zephyra.4709 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I love playing my alt and luring 'high ranks' over to me who think I'm an easy kill. I'll say it again, full zerk Berserker elite spec using Gun Flame. They'll never see it coming because _wow look at this NOOB clad in starter gear let's go ki--- WTF IT 1 SHOT ME 1.5k RANGE AWAY WOW WHAT A HACKER REPORTEDDD._ In all seriousness though it's a combination of alt accounts either genuine or their mains got banned, pro pvpers who just want to mess around in WvW or legit new players to gw2 who've played other mmos before so they can at least fight decently due to experience in other games similar to gw2. Hope that helps answer your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Some players just really know how to play a class and are only doing WvW for legendary armor. I was under 20 weeks ago (got that high from making 4 legendaries) and now I'm 90 because I'm trying to get legendary armor. I only get in zergs when I come across them. I've set into a routine that gets me max Diamond in a couple nights so I can get back into PvE where I actually want to play. I don't want to be in WvW but Raids don't fit my definition of what PvE is, so you're seeing players like me wandering around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems harsh, but they should make it so F2P accounts can not do wvw or ranked pvp. They never should have from the start to be honest. It takes only a few hours to bring a F2P account into WvW and use it as a spy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F2P is really irrelevant anyway - so many people bought several accounts when it was like $10 years ago. And if F2P couldnt join WvW... they would just do it again with paid accounts.
