misterman.1530 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Not a matchup thread, just a simple question: what happened? Was there an exodus? People left the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The alliance probably hopped servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronosCosmos.9450 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 No coverage and people stopped caring about ppt. Also Anet likes to keep servers closed even after they lose half of their population lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagaliscious.6281 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I think it's pretty obvious that their link server was the only thing that kept them out of T3-T4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterman.1530 Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Okay. Wondered. Usually they have a strong EB presence, but this week, so far, they've been active for a few hours a couple of days, then nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimator.3589 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yeah, lot of fairweathers not bothering to play this week. Whether it's disappointment at the no downstate week ending, or the sense of futility dealing with PPT tryhards like YB and NSP when we have so little coverage no coverage outside of NA prime, I don't know. I suspect we're going to be getting the JQ treatment of being locked and linkless for the next several months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 No link to ppt.No point for a server filled with non ppters to try and out ppt the ppt servers.Less guilds than other servers, less playing, most don't ppt in any case.Less commanders.Server locked can't even recruit, not that anyone would want to join at this point.Boring fights with ppt and siege first servers.People playing on alts in higher tiers.Pick one.

It's not about skill, it's about playing the meta builds designed to hold points. Only time I PVP is to get potions for guild hall stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 PPT tryhards, when a zerg breaks into a tower and runs to the lord while ignoring the enemy right on their tail, and they don't even try to turn around and beat that enemy zerg, instead they try to burn the lord thinking they can somehow cap the tower before getting completely wiped out. That's ppt try harding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ppt try harding.Or they go there to get the high ground and/or possibly force a situation where they just manage to force a cap which they may not have gotten had they instead engaged the zerg first.

Curunen.8729 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I cba to wvw this week because it's no fun when one server throws in the towel on everything aside from EB. Can't wait for alliance system to balance this out - hopefully it's not too many months away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepwalker.1398 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Most of these high tier servers are KDR conscious.They will not come to fight when opposition has a bigger number and wipes them a couple times.You will never see them run in a mini zerg of 20 or less unless then an organised guild.But when they 50 and you are 20, they will search you all over the map to kill you....hahhahaa.

morrolan.9608 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Guilds left. Most of its population by and large just goes straight to EB and won't do anything to help on other BLs or help guilds on the server, and just prefers to take SMC then sit in it spamming shit in team chat or spawn camping other servers. This is why guilds have left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why guilds have left. That sounds about wrong. Most guilds or commanders won't respond to calls on other maps, so why would pugs? Oh yeah go save a keep and get stuck ppting while waiting to get back into ebg, while the enemy map hops to avoid you to ppt something else, that sounds fun. Half the guilds on Mag don't even want pugs on them either and usually on the borderlands already, but no it's the ebg pugs fault for not saving something, not the guilds chasing ojs all day. A few big mouths conditioned mag for years to be a fight ppk server, and then people still expect the pugs to act like they ppters.Guilds left because if they ppt they get mocked for ppting or messing up kdr, they left because no link and mag can't ppt to keep itself in t2, they also left because they got bored of ppt server fighting under siege and left to play something else.picardfacepalm.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
