Welcome to The Library, a sticky thread that will help get all the useful and important sticky threads from the WvW Guild Wars 2 forum in one place! Over the years these threads have accumulated at the top of this subforum and we thought that we'd try simplifying their management. You can suggest new threads to add and we'll consider them.

The GvG thread? ANet looking to support the GvG scene?
For two weeks it was in the top three on the page. It was listed by Anet as an announcement.
So, while not being ‘support’, I am optimistic that it may be a small step in that direction.
Thank You for the {MEME}
I wouldn't make any assumption about current plans, other than "it used to be a sticky, it used to be a top thread... so now, we're moving it to a single sticky."
Hype is the path to the dark side. Hype leads to unfulfilled expectations. Disappointment leads to anger. Anger leads to disgust. Disgust leads to "oh, new shinies! I'm back!"
@Stephane Lo Presti.7258 - can we get a balance issues sticky?
How many times we gotta tell you GRIND IS NOT CONTENT there ANet?

So, next relink is the 19th? Am I figuring that right?
Most likely the 26th.

Credibility requires critical insight & time.
Awww, I thought this would be a red post about an upcoming library feature to store all the books I've got clogging my inventory.
hint hint
Vàsher (Grd), Bondsmith Yharnam (Eng), Mistress Glaive (War), Hasla the Huntress (Rng), Seaguard Hala (Mes) + The Wintertalon warband
Northerner @ Dragon Season (DS) | Winter's Talon Reborn (WT)
Seafarer's Rest (SFR) since launch!
That would also be nice.

Commanders can now choose to make their squads private. This option will make their commander tag invisible on the map, but it will still show up for their squad mates. Commanders who choose to keep their squad public will now get an extra 3 pips per tick.
The Mist Lord's weapon set has been added. You can preview and purchase the weapons from Skirmish Supervisors.

Gates and walls have had their damage mitigation normalized to the damage levels done to tier 1 (wood). All walls and gates should now take the same amount of damage from a siege attack.

I believe this post has earned enough views and useful comments at this point to have the right to be here. If you're ever confused on the major problems people have with WvW and what to get to fixing first. This guide should better help you @Anet make that decision
