Troll in WvW

[Little Snow.7142]

there is a durid in another server , for the pass 3 hours ( BG , SoS , HOD )

he kept tapping our keep ,

we ask him to stop , he said im not breaking any rules ,

this really sux for other players , who cant enjoy the game

i hope anet take notice and put a rule about this

[Voltekka.2375]

He isnt breaking any rules, no. Gandara has had a permastealth de who kept tagging their eb keep for many hours daily. No issue. Just ignore and move on

[Blocki.4931]

... how is that trolling though?

[Pelto.9364]

The game works like that. You don't say what is the problem, but the problem is: a single hit to the keep guards takes the waypoint away from 70 wvw players. That is an overpowered one hit.

[Fat Disgrace.4275]

I would rather still have a single hit on the gate then having a whole zerg at the gate and only contests as x% as people have asked for in the past

[phaidetublacke.6048]

Welcome to one of WvW’s unlisted side quest: “**Kill the Gate Troll**”. Upon accepting the mission, you will be tasked with hunting down one ‘troll’ player from an enemy server. The target of your quest will be located near the main keep. Find them and take them down. Good luck.

 

Quest Rewards: XP and a random loot drop.

That's not trolling. That's tapping the keep for 4 hours to deny the waypoint or keep people there to scout

[DemonSeed.3528]

You only make it exciting for them if you interact with them and chase them around, otherwise they would be bored to death doing it for hours on end when no one gives them the time of day. Tapping a keep is the most boring thing ever (I've seen some do it for 10-12 hrs, they must be getting something out of it I imagine), unless an enemy starts chasing you around like an angry bee. If you manage to kill them, intercept them on their way back, and I mean far away from keep like at the minimum around sm or the towers near there. If you keep shutting them down before they can even reach, they might eventually give up unless they have some kind of weird passion for doing this.

You actually asked him to stop?

 

As an FYI, any class with decent mobility can do this. Weaver sword dagger works, mirage, warrior, Druid, etc.

 

Thing is, they will find different areas to tap.

 

He has you busy, so it's working,

[mindcircus.1506]

And the solution is a forum thread rather than killing the player doing this?

You *ask* them to stop and then post here?

 

I mean wouldn't it just be simpler to cowboy up and deal with it?

I think the point is, they can't. Which is telling by itself.

[Loosmaster.8263]

Have your other troll to build siege everywhere to keep him busy getting wxp.

[Gemnaid.4219]

Give the man participation for tapping. He’s doing something useful.

[Heibi.4251]

You don't ask them to stop. You hunt them down in packs and make it not fun for them. Sure they can brag about tying down 5 or so players, but they aren't accomplishing anything except giving the players a bag and 10 min of continued participation each time they stomp him. You could also down them and let them get close to getting up, then take more health away over and over again. Make them log out to stop it. Lots of ways to stop them from tapping, unless they truly enjoy dying over and over again.

I dont really think this is anything that need to nerfed - if anything the old waypoints solved this just fine - and the maps arent so large that running from spawn is a problem, but tbh... its far from that simple. It works if its a random person showing up to randomly tag a keep, true. Kill him, maybe he'll do it again. Kill him again and he'll probably go elsewhere. But the thing is... there are people that **purpose build** characters for this. And it's basicly impossible to "hunt" them down. I remember a full bunker thief very fondly. I mean he couldnt do anything other than tag a guard, then stay in stealth until the next time. The few times we tried to catch him he either vanished long before we could get near or just tanked it and then vanished. There are *no* ways to stop them from tagging the keep and no, they dont die unless they are idiots.

 

Personally I prefer to go tag their keeps in return and find some fights along the way instead.

To be fair this is probably the sort of player that goes into PvP and asks the enemy to stop killing him

[Sleepwalker.1398]

Hunt him down in a pack. When he is down, call in your guardians, use hammer 4 and punt him around abit but don't kill.

Make a meme video this and then post on forum.

[Justine.6351]

I actually like the simple idea of asking them to stop. Sometimes its just that easy. What that enemy roamer doesn't understand is that every wp he contests for long periods of time, he removes it from play and limits the roaming activity in the respective southern quarter of the map. He really is only hurting his own fun.

[Shagaliscious.6281]

I'm gonna take a wild guess that this druid is QuickCry

[DeadlySynz.3471]

Anet could just do what many people have been screaming at them to do.. make it so either only siege damage contests the wp, or only have "X" amount of damage is dealt to a wall or gate the wp remains contested.

 

Wp's shouldn't be contested by someone tapping a gate or guards, that design is just asinine.
