Gandara will happily take any unwanted server. Joint petition?

He is, as a matter of fact. I would change cynical into something else, but the rest is accurate.

That is not correct. Posting some indication (not the actual numbers) would show they have a system in place that makes some sense. Even if they did tiers. In a sense they already do with the server status, but they don't want to say anything that involves numbers because what happens if the metrics show something very different than server status? People would be ready with pitchforks especially on EU where 3 server get shafted for 2 months every relink. Or, you know, they could just openly say that server status DIRECTLY reflects their metrics over a certain number of weeks and we should believe it. There is no harm in doing this since nobody can check, especially if it was true. However, people are often reluctant to outright lie when they can simply avoid the topic altogether.

What if you had to trade another converter for it. Everyone likes free things...a little less when you have to pay for them

Yeah, I did say I'd agree with the concept, but Dawdler likes to say it's a skill issue about anything that anyone else has a problem with in the game. Except when he's the one with a problem, evidently. And the thief remarks across threads are now piling up...

No just yet: I do not believe you have been unlinked for 3+ relink periods, so first provide proof and then I'll decide whether I think you deserve the badge. Either way, if you are used to it, just join us for the ride, you haven't been unlinked for way too long, so you must be tanking, which also means your 0.97 kdr would probably be 1.97 if you weren't.

Too much skill, indeed. Dawdler would tell you: all classes have tools to deal with stealth and thief mobility, you just need to get better and deal with it. Listen to him.

So you agree it is a skill issue...gotcha.

If that was how it worked then...FR would have a much higher population...

How about FSP 6 months of no link together with Gandara? Sounds good? We don't have many thieves so you can show off and balance the kdr by yourself Dawdler...

Sounds like a skill issue to me, wouldn't you agree Dawdler? To quote yourself back to you of course. Normally I would simply agree with the whole post, but since you think everything else is a skill issue, it's very surprising to see such double standards...

Yes yes the Death Star building type of server. The ones who build defensive siege to the cap, trebs, shield gens, loads of acs, the works.

Seems obvious Alliances will see even more time slot stacking within each alliance. I think they hope to reduce the problem because alliances are smaller than servers...

They do mix, except for Baruch Bay, nobody knows why they play by different rules, they get to greatly outnumber every other EU server and stay not full (and with no link). For some reason mixing English, French and Germans servers is ok, but not Spanish. Hordes of spanish speaking players from North, Central and South America also play on this server. The NA system is designed so that all have links, the EU system somehow has BB and 2 unlucky servers which get no link for 2 months. It's entirely possible they never eliminated T5 in EU because of BB. Needless to say all linkless servers get stuck in T5 for the duration of the linking period with 1 going back to T4 every 2 weeks. So, in essence, in NA you tank to get a more enjoyable match the following week, in EU you tank so that you don't have to spend 2 months with no link (or 6-8 months sometimes).

Last time Gandara tanked for 3 weeks and still got no link. But the Full servers went from 2 to 8 or so. At this point I would make no assumption on how they calculate population and treshholds because it openly makes no sense. I do agree that 'small' link servers are instrumental to success and I would also say they are not that small actually.

You know the system is not fit for purpose when the last time Gandara tanked after months with no link there were 2 teams with Full+Full servers iirc. And Gandara still got no link after that.

It is more accurate to say I despise them because of how they operate, they kill duelers in the duel spot and have organised ganking groups who prey on weaker players like you guys (spawn camp group ganking, mind you). So finding and killing them, makes me very happy and fulfilled, both because they are good individually and because I feel they deserve to get ganked. It's basically the opposite of killing BB players. And I also believe this situation is driven directly by the special status BB has and the concentration of players in deserted time slots. I have no health problem, I just want Anet to improve this game mode, starting at least with the glaring issues. If they tell me they launch Alliances in 1, 2, 5 months then I wouldn't care, because the BB status, the links and transfer problems will hopefully sort themselves out, but we're not in that situation are we? So make BB full and give them a link. Spanish speaking people can always join through the link until BB is open again. There is zero reason to keep this special status which is visibly detrimental to the quality of BB as well.

Explain to me what would change for you if they swapped the position of berserk and burst or if they assigned different slots to primal burst and burst. I still wouldn't use the regular burst other than in pve or in meaningless situations (but crucially without the chance of it going off by chance as berserk mode ends) and you still would use it as you please. You'd still have 2 (or 3) separate keybinds, like you have now, and you could still use both primal and regular core, as you do now, so what gives? When they make berserk flippable as someone suggested I'll retract this request, but considering this may never happen it's silly to ask keeping the status quo in light of that theoretical possibility.

Oh yeah, you could definitely say I'm salty about the treatment Gandara receives from Anet, without a doubt. But not this time, I'm optimistic both us and Riverside are getting a link at the end of the week.

Wasn't I clear that I do NOT consider people on BB as equal unlike most other servers, including people in guilds I deeply hate. You repeating I'm salty (salty about what...having an easier time and getting way more kills roaming that I normally do lol? Does it even makes sense?) doesn't make it any more true. This is not a match thread. I am not playing BB. This is a thread highlighting that BB is an outlier, has a different treatment than any other server in the game, be it on EU or NA, and it needs to stop, for their sake as well as for ours. EPveryone will benefit if they get better and are not utterly boring to play both when they don't outnunber everyone and get farmed AND when they outnumber the opponents 30:1. Luckily we've seen some of BB people on this very thread who find it boring when there is nothing to do because they have every structure on every map...

Your rank would have you around 200 on EU and a bunch of people on my list who I know are above that have their rating reduced due to decay, but still that's impressive if what you say about not playing spellbreaker and not playing other classes is true. Maybe I should reset one account and get it on an NA server so I can also see what all the fuss about Maguuma and Blackgate is.

I'll take this with a grain of salt and let's leave it at that. People do tend to brag, but claiming to be plat 3 while not being a hardcore pvp player and just goofing around on zerker and core is bewildering lol. You see, nobody at that level plays zerker even when they play warrior and since most of them stream... As I said, let's not go there. Agree to disagree on core bursts (that they are worth it and that you can land them reliably) and let's move on. Oh and btw flame flurry not only hit outside of melee range more often than it doesn't (it's not a ranged skill and it's prone to miss moving targets if they are too far or too fast), but it hits targets even directly behind you. I'm sure you are aware.

There is no server with full coverage. Most servers don't have tags until prime time. What makes you think I'm salty. You could say condescending, which I am, but salty? Have I not been clear enough that I don't think of people on BB as an equal? And for this reason I think you need to be treated like everyone else so you may, hopefully, become more like everyone else? There are specific guilds on other servers that I despise (which I won't name here for obvious reasons) and I will try to gank by any means and then will also disrespect given the opportunity because they also do that, but I do recognise they are good players and not easy kills.

That is correct, it's what I'm asking, and you are free to assume incorrectly. Not sure why anyone would prefer 2 keybinds over one and I'm not going to entertain a discussion with people thinking using adrenaline for core burst is a good idea in competitive, as that actually begs the question at what level they play in pvp and I really am trying hard not to go there. It's like arguing you can use them in pve even if it means delaying berserk. The fact I can use the current setup just fine does not mean it shouldn't be improved, because it's plainly inferior to the alternative due to constraints with setting keybinds AND due to core burst being lackluster and sharing the same resource as berserk and primal bursts. Also we all play other classes that use way more Function buttons, those buttons makes sense and crucially abilities are split all the way to F7 so you can really customise however the hell you want. The 3 buttons was just a provocation because the same reasoning people apply to keeping the current unique setup which has no equivalent in the game (ie. a button disappearing paired with another switching between abilities without being a flip skill) could also be applied the same way to a setup with 3 buttons. Because this is the essence of the problem here and also the reason why customising keybinds does not work. The one smart comment I've read so far is the person who wants to turn berserk into a flip skill to toggle berserk mode on and off (i.e. allow the option to end it early) and if that were the case I wouldn't mind the current setup because it would absolutely make sense to have at least 2 keybinds (I would ask for 3 in that scenario), as I said a few times above. Unfortunately that's not what we have now.

I already use them as they are, I just don't want 2 keybinds and, if the 'stance' keybind absolutely needs to be separate from the bursts, then I want the bursts (core and primal) to be on different keybinds from each other. One or the other. 3 keybinds or all the zerker related abilities and triggers on one and core on another. I'm also getting tired of the tone of some answers that seem to imply I don't know how things work or used to work and faik to address the specific points I'm making. I also clearly stated I have this issue specifically for competitive modes where blowing adrenaline on core bursts will likely result in death. What is the problem in keeping separate core and primal burst (irrespective of whether berserk mode trigger is separate from them or not)? Why having core on F1, primal on F2 and berserk on F3 doesn't work? Whatever the reason you believe this does not work please think about how this set up with 3 buttons woukd be different than the current one.
