[How is WvW nowadays?]

But you cannot completely force a player to get into the squad+voice and play specific builds directly. The only thing you can do as commander is to close the squad and invite people that are at least in voice. But that´s the commander´s decision. And don´t complain about dying while trying to save them because of their stupid actions. Just, dont save them. You will not die, and the other one may learn a lesson to not do that stupid actions (maybe, maybe not, that´s up to that player, not you). Most of the time, rezzing a player that made a stupid mistake even deals more damage to you (or the zerk) than actually helping, so in this regard you should know better and just not do it.

in opentags, these people don't understand when to bomb, when to sustain, when to dodge, when to push and cleave, when to "leave it for now" (necessary draw back and gather up since freaking cooldowns got way longer time to cd... and ppl play as if that would not be a thing)

this is the problem of individual players, not WvW itself. And, to repeat myself, this is a player-created issue that is getting worse over time. It doesn´t even take very much effort to at least look for a class build and join the commander in voice. But when i look at how many players technically are playing WvW (based on player numbers i can roughly see because of map queues) and how many players are actually interested and want to get better (based on players that are either in a progressive WvW-Guild, or joining organized training events for classes and mechanics) this numbers have heavily dropped over time. Although there still are a lot of new players that join WvW for the first time. And it is still a fact, that almost every organized zerk has at least one or two guilds as core part (in most cases at least the guild members of the commander, as most, not all, public commanders are also guild players).I'm not interested in joining voice chat, and can't really play with a "meta" build picked from the web, because I have to include all my movement skills just to keep up, certainly if you die, you have to run a whole while before you get somewhere interesting... There is no LFG open, so I just follow a commander and hit stuff (or roam and try to take easier, non-siege objectives). Not like I'm going to learn anything that way (when/why to bomb, sustain, leave it for now, ...). Communication should still be possible over chat, but the way people play this mode now, it is not really newbie friendly. I've farmed my Gift of Battle, but I'm not playing again unless I have to, because it was not fun. When I try to do good and call out some enemies, I get DM'd to "get back to PvE".

[Buried Insight - Bugged]
