It simply emphasized fighting, actual good players/ people whom made builds for 1v1. So I play vs them more, than players that a spec up for zerg fights, or are looking to join up with their guild/blob, even though being an awful build for any 1v1 situation. But then again, I have always heavily disliked the ganking aspect of WvW, and thought it was cheesy contrary to 1v1/blob fighting or 2v3+ so I might be biased xD

Ganking is just apart of the game mode.

I know zerglings like to say gankers aren't playing the game properly but thats so far from the truth.

A ganker is usually just a roamer.. a roamer for green side whos at durious picking off strays on the blue side whos fighting his allies at durious... the lag picks up so the roamer falls back a little towards blue keep in an effort to gank people trying to regroup. Cant afford to have skill delay as a roamer, all skills are needed and important.

Gank that staff ele because thats 1 less water field.Gank that necro so theres one less DPS..Gank that Firebrand for 1 less support.8 or so people have died, more roamers have joined and we have banked up about 10 people at blue keep acting as bouncers to a party... thier access is denied, reinforcements have been cut off.

After the engagement, duri is owned by green side and you hit up dane while your server hits Bravost or Pang. You then hit the sentries and move on to wherever killing any you come across. You head through the catacombs and see a dude in the archway of blue keep pewpew at someone so you snipe a quick gank and keep moving.

This is Recon work and obviously they are playing the game properly, more so than the ones just zerging.

Everyone who died to that roamer labeled that roamer as a dirty ganker.

wow, I never called them dirty, and everything you literally wrote seems to have nothing to do with what I wrote o.o I wrote that when I am roaming, I like to fight good players. And with the mount the people who do decide to actually fight, usually are interesting to fight.

-It seems like you are defending a set of very specific classes. That is kinda shunned by commanders, which they would like you to switch to meta blob classes, but you are justifying that these classes are good for WvW in general. Because the people who are trying to reach the commander, will die by gankers......if they nerf/remove mounts? o.o Either way, I do not think these classes are useless

Idk dude, I am not against these classes, nor their use in WvW, I actually like thiefs/mesmers. I am just writing that if you made a 1v1 build. You probably should aim to fight others whom are good. Not remove/nerf a mount, to be able to gank bronze players better. You can obviously do whatever you want to (as long as the devs let you), but what you are asking for is literally only -access to kill weaklings- (people not on their proper 1v1 builds)

Let me stop you there.

2 things.First, Im not defending any class or build.. it was a common situation I find myself in as a roamer.

Second, the point of that situation was based at your dislike for ganking aspect, theres nothing to feel bad about or to dislike because it's an action that we all take part in when we enter WvW, the same as running or using skills.

Not reaaaally, I also wrote that gankers are gone now, which is specified as "(stealthing between garri/bay/hills sm/keeps and 2 shotting opponents)", which I was against because of mismatching as exlapined earliere. and later on what the "new gankers" are called by some people, but don't really match the name....(at least not in other games). Again, I like these classes. I also do not think that mounts should be nerfed, based on what I wrote earliere

See I don't think you understand what I mean but we will leave it there.

Oh boy, I really thought we were out of the woods on these mounts threads. Hadn't seen one pop up for like... a week or two. Lol.

Honestly, and I keep having to say this, when the dismount skill comes... it probably will solve some of the "issues". I'm sorry but you'll just have to deal for now with the "issues".

And just like another developer I know, it will get patched... eventually.

Hah, that cyclist didn't have all his masteries filled, so didn't have the mount speed or extra dodges.

@quick.7361 said:Mounts are indeed in need of major adjustments. Frankly in my opinion you remove 100% of the hit points and anyone placed in combat is immediately dismounted. While adding a 10 sec remount to the equation, 5 is much too short. Mind you i would recommend they remove the knock down that currently exist while being dismounted. This does a few things for both the large game player and the small havoc groups, 1 the large game player that wants to rush back to their tag and mindlessly smash keys can quickly do so. But while they are indeed in a WvW zone take precaution of how they go about getting back to their zerg safely. 2 The small havoc groups of 3-5 players could easily dismount the adds in their fights and manage the fight more effectively. Frankly the small man game is dying and ANET MUST make adjustments. Ohh and the whole ideal we are going to give u a mount skill that dismounts ppl is a fail idea unless it is not voidable when the player has 3 evades. Frankly I am tired of this being a #'s wins fight game, what happen to needing a bit of skill to win a fight.

Just my 2 CentsQuick - Your Not-So-Friendly Keep TapperAnd get rid of EBG map is to small for mounts or only have mounts on red and blue and green bl

Wow I'm surprised no takers on my offer though. Some days you literally can't give it away!

Id do it if I knew how to rip stuff and put it on youtube. I'm just fortunate enough to have both a Prime account, and am a fan of the show ;)
