@kamikharzeeh.8016 I apologize for not being clear. My point was that the game mode incentivizes us both to be salty about not being able to play the way we want. Me because of boon balls negating a massive number of builds and you because people like me block you from coming in and killing the boon ball with your comp. To me, that's a failure in the system, not in either of us. I WANT you to be able to play the game you want to play. It's not that I need to win all the time (or even most of the time) but the boon ball is filled with "feels bad" mechanics that are pretty unengaging and passive. Battleship is what massed comp groups were called on my server pre-HOT. It came about because two groups would run in circles around each other firing barrages of AOE attacks. I think it fits even better now because they have SHIELDS. I just never got out of calling comp groups a battleship. Cheers!

Yes. The casual players are the toxic ones. Not the guilds who run boring battleship comps since vanilla GW2 and ridicule everyone who doesn't have a comp play style. Some of us don't want to battleship and hate it. Or at the very least are sick of it, and yet we have zerg enthusiasts in this thread saying that WE are the problem because we take up space on the servers and block them from getting around. As if they have more of a right to play the game than anyone else and that the players are the problem, not a game mode state that creates that logic in the first place. We don't care if you battleship. Go for it! But you guys are going to do that no matter what the meta is. Why is it so bad that the rest of us get a game mode that's more than watching a conga line of people hide in bubbles and bomb on target?

Thief here. Would happily trade stealth uptime for many of these changes. Boon balls remove all fun from the game and mobile fortresses of comp players stagnate gameplay. For reference: I enjoy small group roaming but anything over 10 isn't for me. Would also purchase siege skins. Edit: For what it's worth, stealth uptime ALSO stagnates gameplay.
