Why "win"?

When you ask such a question, you are already screaming to the world that you are a pve player.

There are people who play not for guilds or for that group of people at that particular moment, there are people who play for the greater team aka server.

Now I will ask a question. Why would people stack a server? If they want to fight, wouldn't it be ideal for them to go to the opposing server? It is about winning everything.

wait.. i want to win but i do not wanna win permanent what am i now?i mean all cool to win and stuff but when u never lose im out, where the joy? no challange nothing <- this why i dont play PvE u dont lose.. i mean a npc hardcoded using skills and has X amount of HP is just a punchbag to me.

i wanna lose in order to trigger my self to win or beat that guy or w/e.lucky me i dont always win so im still having a blast :D

I play this game to beat the enemy players in combat that I can control. So what if I stay up 18 hours every day and the most interesting thing I did was press F on siege just to win the match-up. Does that make me a good player? Is that fun, or engaging to anyone at all who isn't the commander who must necessarily have a huge ego? What am I responsible for? 2 hours for raid nights 3 times a week minus reset. That's all I can control. The match-ups were decided years ago by off hours coverage and population. What's me taking my 7,459th tower? It's useless. I can fight and be a part of a team/guild. The whole chess match is so 2012, only played by egotistical commanders who let the game mode pass them by.

Unfortunately, the game isn't just about you.

Imagine being as bad of a player now as you were in 2012. Just imagine.

Imagine not able to accept objective opinions as you were 7 years ago, just imagine.

There is ZERO meta game in ANET's version of RvR. It's a garbage mode designed to suck money from the bandwagon players without a clue.

There use to be rewards for winning, but ANET couldn't figure out how to keep hackers from stealing the items. So ANET gave up and took rewards out of WvW.

ANET blamed JQ for all of their WvW problems for a while, so they let BlackGate cheat the system to overstack while blocking JQ. But that created more problems, so ANET gave up again and just abandoned WvW. ANET lets BlackGate remain overstacked because there are still a few bandwagon players out there without a clue willing to spend real money to transfer to the server of the week.

ANET's promises for Alliances are all hot air designed to suck more money from the bandwagon players. Which worked for a couple of years, but even that BS has worn thin.

Basically, ANET gave up and the result is the useless garbage WvW has become.

O p, this is the rub really isn't it? There is no point in winning , for server at least so it boils down to Guild Pride, which arenanet has consistently failed to recognize as a valid combat or competition format.

Currently you have servers that are merged with long dead servers that try to remain with some semblance of pride and you have the remnants of the OG WVW player base roaming in Mercenary guilds that simply look for fights which are contrary to those who look to defend. The Guild groups massively outclass and outskill any pugs and immediately send them running back to Siege and walls and PPT so invariably they end up frustrated and shifting servers to find more fights, the cycle continues ad infinitum.

There is no winning in this game mode, the best of the best players are already in their groups and they are not going anywhere everybody else is just meat for the grinder and well aware of it. So it's half PVP half Tower Defense, welcome to WVW

As I always understood it, the point of WvW isn't to win, but to play well. You get reward track experience and skirmish chests for being personally successful, as well as loot bags from fallen enemies.

Though a server award for winning sounds good, I'm afraid of what it'll do to the community. Imagine PUG raid toxicity cranked up and spread across 100 players, just because they want the award at the end of the week.

Wvw is a cult of personality. I would argue that guilds don’t matter more then the popular commanders. There are commanders that people will play extra hours and switch builds to join. The preferred commander.

Rewards are better now then in the past and the community is always thirsty for wealth in some form. Material rewards are very subjective.

In the end for competitive personalities winning will always be preferable to losing. Simple as that.

"Winning" vs other servers had been Anet's idea of balancing stronger vs. weaker servers. We all know that this has not worked and they switched to the "band-aid" of linking servers (which doesn't really solve the problems either)."Scoring points" did matter in the past, because your server gained buffs for each player on that server (like +% to MF, crafting criticals, gathering etc.). They removed that when they introduced the mega-server system for PvE (with Eu and NA mega servers). I remember doing my crafting and discoveries on Friday before the WvW reset for a higher chance of crafting XP to use less fine materials to advance my crafting levels. I kind of liked that system, because even if you played well in WvW (higher score), you as an individual player got a benefit - despite ending up on third place.

Currently, I'm fighting on lost ground, playing on a server that's been stuck in T5 for weeks. My only goal is to try and push people to give their best so that maybe we can leave this pit one day. After everything that I've been through on this server you can't imagine the satisfaction I feel whenever I see other people jumping the train, putting in effort and us slowly improving and making progress as a community. Seriously, at the moment we're not even talking about winning matchups, simply winning fights is a sensation. I used to play in T1 as well and I sure as hell miss GvGs and farming bags in SM, but damn, pulling some strings in the background and try and direct a whole community in one direction (well, if you're already at the bottom the only way is up so there honestly is no other direction) is so much more rewarding than "winning".

Oh yeah, I'm sure that I'm the only person in this entire game mode that likes fights. Everyone else likes sitting around waiting to pvd a door down and karma train, treating wvw like it's pve. Who do you think outnumbers who at this point in the game's lifespan? You're probably one of 5 people on your entire server who cares about the score at the end of the week and ties it to some harebrained idea of server pride.

Winning the week doesn't make you good at the game dude, hate to break it to ya. Or did you spend 18 hours a day all 7 days of the week coordinating with literally everyone else on your server to win? No, it didn't happen. Match-ups are decided before they begin. No amount of individual effort makes a difference. This isn't 2013 anymore. There are no tournaments. Off hours coverage and population determine the score. A tower sitting T3 overnight won it for you, not you playing. It's pure delusion to think otherwise, which feeds into a hefty sense of ego.

The game isn't just about you. If you really can't understand the 6 words, you really need work on it.

I understand that there are people who play this gamemode "as originally intended" and want to win at the end of the week and have server pride. All that. I have made that clear that that is something that I understand. There are people who agree with you. There are people who agree with me. No one's right. No one's wrong. We can establish at least that.

What you need to ponder is why you still hold onto it. The game has grown and evolved since its inception. It's made for the players. And players are responsible for "emergent gameplay". Is this style, this method of playing the game any less valid than yours because it doesn't hold fast and true to what was "originally intended"? Is it something that should be shunned? Looked down upon? Each side is always going to do that to the other.

So that brings us back to why. Why do you still do what you do? How has it not grown old to you, how have you not burnt out? The gameplay as it's originally intended cannot fix the fact that individual effort has negligible, if that, impact on the score at the end of the week. No matter what you do, you can't change that by continuing to play that way. This is why people gave up playing that way. This is why many continue to play the way I play. I implore you to think long and hard about why you play a style that so many have left behind and the driving motivations for people like me to play the way I play.

inb4 you don't read anything that I wrote you just repeat what you've said the last two times

Which then I gave my opinion on his opinion of his subject of choice. I mean, if you quote someone, are you not directing that opinion to that someone and (maybe) hoping that someone to reply you? If not, why would you quote them?

Which then I gave my opinion on his opinion of his subject of choice. I mean, if you quote someone, are you not directing that opinion to that someone and (maybe) hoping that someone to reply you? If not, why would you quote them?

If you see the responses from other people, they also gave their opinion on the OP's subject from their personal perspectives, using words like "I" and "my", yet you are not attacking them. Why?

When you ask such a question, you are already screaming to the world that you are a pve player.

There are people who play not for guilds or for that group of people at that particular moment, there are people who play for the greater team aka server.

Now I will ask a question. Why would people stack a server? If they want to fight, wouldn't it be ideal for them to go to the opposing server? It is about winning everything.

I play this game to beat the enemy players in combat that I can control. So what if I stay up 18 hours every day and the most interesting thing I did was press F on siege just to win the match-up. Does that make me a good player? Is that fun, or engaging to anyone at all who isn't the commander who must necessarily have a huge ego? What am I responsible for? 2 hours for raid nights 3 times a week minus reset. That's all I can control. The match-ups were decided years ago by off hours coverage and population. What's me taking my 7,459th tower? It's useless. I can fight and be a part of a team/guild. The whole chess match is so 2012, only played by egotistical commanders who let the game mode pass them by.

Unfortunately, the game isn't just about you.

The OP asked a subjective question. Why are you getting personal when someone gives their opinion? There isn't a right or wrong answer, just individuals typing out their own perspectives. Now you're just turning the thread into some sort of back-n-forth. Yikes. :scream:

Did you not read what I wrote?

Here, I write again.If you quote someone, are you not directing that opinion to that someone and (maybe) hoping that someone to reply you? If not, why would you quote them?

Who here in this thread, other him and later you quote me? It is very simple logic, I can't explain it any simpler.

I won't chase you down your rabbit hole. I said my piece from an outside third party perspective. What you do with that is up to you.
