They just did with this patch. They want WvW players out and GvG (Boonball) players in. World Restructuring shares the same goal.

Thoughts on defence changes as they relate to Keeps
DeWolfe.2174 replied to Mistwraithe.3106's topic in World vs. World
The only Dev interaction with players I've seen or heard is directly with large guild tags. That's why everything they do is biased toward a 50 man boonball to log in, face roll, log out. World Restructuring itself is evidence of this design bias. You'll never see a Dev asking for feedback from regular World vs World players. Certainly not roamers, scouts, and those of us who upgrade, defend, and do all the small things that make WvW run. They view us are cannon fodder and it's why the modes pug population is going to rapidly deteriorate.- 61 replies

The biggest obstacle to chasing down fights is the tiers themselves. We need one omega tier with more maps.

It's only "shared" if both parties give consent and agree. This feature does not provide any form of consent or choice. We need an option box for this. Promoting choice, freedom, agency, and consent is the right thing to do Dev's.

Passion has gone my friends [Merged]
DeWolfe.2174 replied to csuvix.9284's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
For me, every change the Dev's make of late seem to say, "we don't want you as a customer". They seem to want a high churn of new players in and the OG players out. Especially as a WvW player and someone with multiple accounts ranging from 18k-32k AP. Now after 12 years they want to destroy our worlds and changed the rules on using multiple accounts. They want OG players out. -
WvW World Restructuring Beta Feedback and Future
DeWolfe.2174 replied to Rubi Bayer.8493's topic in World vs. World
I'd much rather see tiers removed entirely. Place all the Worlds in one large match across the same number of maps that exist presently. For NA simply place options 1, 2, 3, 4 next to the map name. Aggregating the scoring system shouldn't be difficult either. "Winning" would be irrelevant as the scoring system would simply be a reward modifier of higher score more pips like it is now. You'll find that we'll log in, aggregate to a few map to find fights, and love it!!!! Those who want to hit paper gates will be able to do so to their hearts content on all the other maps too. K-Trains and other forms of organizing that was lost long ago might even return. This can all be done while preserving Worlds and our existing communities. Simple solutions are usually the best ones. The convoluted mess of alliances and world restructuring continues to be the wrong direction imho. -
Minimum amount of WvW - Maximum amount of editing /o/
DeWolfe.2174 replied to Luranni.9470's topic in World vs. World
That was a high quality lazor!!! 😂👍 -
Tactics, placement, map politics, etc should be considered the more skillful players. Let's not lose sight on gear being a big difference too. Players in full Legendary can easy adapt in real time. They can also easily test builds when updates drop. Those players needing to craft new ascended gear and swap runes/sigils will always be lagging behind. We can see the drastic changes or screw ups in the meta the past week in WvW.

How to fix celestial, boons and minstrel very easily
DeWolfe.2174 replied to Riba.3271's topic in World vs. World
Cele has been around for a decade and was a trash set outside of a couple Ele and Engi builds who could take advantage of it. Cele is only a problem of late because of balance changes that allows builds to take advantage of the all stats. It's not the stats, it's the balance changes. Nerf bat the problems, not the stats. -

DeWolfe.2174 replied to Riba.3271's topic in World vs. World
Leave gear stats alone. The problem is that the dev's created too much access to strike and condi damage, especially on the same weapon and utility skill. They changed their philosophy of having specific rolls to every profession can do everything. That's why cele, the everything stat, has become too powerful. Ele, Harbinger, and Willbender skills just need to be nerf batted hard. Not that gear stats themselves. -
Please add character restart option
DeWolfe.2174 replied to DragonStar.1074's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
They should just add race and profession swap options to the makeover kits. After a decade, I couldn't care less about the personal story, key farming, or anything related to it. -
See that why WORLDS, open ones, is a better solution. Because if that's what your guild faces, it'll move to another world that's less populated. No need to ask the dev's for special guild privileges because what, you have more players? A single player should have the same rights and access to a map as anyone else. They are paying customers the same as you.

Post Beta Polls
DeWolfe.2174 replied to TheGrimm.5624's topic in WvW World Restructuring Beta Feedback
None of the polls would cover actual critiques. For me, the "Call of War" buff has been the only redeeming quality of this entire Beta. Everything else was way worse. Worlds should be the foundation of World vs World. World rewards should be a thing again. Population balance is actually the least of the modes problems. Open the worlds up more and let the players decide. Build balance (cele) and remove troll builds as there's too many stuns, pulls, condi's, etc. Fix exploits/glitches. Finally stop people from portaling into things without actually opening walls/gates. Lastly, the mode needs new content! Right now it's Lunar New Year and there's no WvW theme or Reward track. Fun short duration/weekend events. Back in the day "Golem Rush" was fun but, needed to be like one skirmish not an entire week. -
Y'all havin fun?
DeWolfe.2174 replied to Absurddd.5780's topic in WvW World Restructuring Beta Feedback
Now that's as bold faced of a lie as I've ever heard. Worlds are much much larger than a guild. -

DeWolfe.2174 replied to Absurddd.5780's topic in WvW World Restructuring Beta Feedback
Guilds are not a World and are not an identity for everyone to rally around. Guilds are small fiefdoms runs by an individual. -

DeWolfe.2174 replied to Absurddd.5780's topic in WvW World Restructuring Beta Feedback
11 days later and it's still an absolutely miserable experience. Don't believe I've disliked the dev's more than I do at this point in time. What a miserable experience. If this continues there is no way I'm continuing to play. -
I HOPE THIS RESTRUCTURING DONT GO TROUGH
DeWolfe.2174 replied to Ragnarox.9601's topic in World vs. World
Literally having the freedom to move out of inequality is aligned with asking for "equality by design". Mag on Griffonfall were spawning camping in EB this morning. So much for the dev's ability to create balance. lol -

DeWolfe.2174 replied to Ragnarox.9601's topic in World vs. World
Right now it appears most of the old Mag are on Griffonfall and they are spawn camping EB, as usual. Why? Because Red (Skrittsburgh) it outnumbered and has the outnumbered buff to prove it. 1) If WvW was designed without tiers and the Worlds fought in one multiverse match, other players could go fight them. Instead, we have this kitten. 2) With open Worlds, players could go move to Worlds to fight them even with the tiered design. As it's been, we the players can't do anything because the dev's have tied our hands behind our backs because they've kept worlds closed. Now in this Beta, all control is given to the Dev's, which is worse! Again, the problem is actually not the players but, the dev's and their control mechanisms. -

DeWolfe.2174 replied to Ragnarox.9601's topic in World vs. World
Mag wasn't a problem to fight, in fact they were the most fun to fight the past few months. The problem continues to be the Dev's trying to control and micromanage us. How can a proper counter force arise to a "Mag2.0" when the Dev's are keeping everyone else locked down? That's the problem, it has been for years, the players fighting the Dev's. Opening worlds and leaving them open is a better solution. -

DeWolfe.2174 replied to Ragnarox.9601's topic in World vs. World
Yes, there needs to be more equality by design and the ceiling brought down a bit. Boons and Aura spamming have always been overpowered in the mode and it needs to be addressed. The amount of pulls in the mode needs to be nerfed too and Moa finally removed entirely. -
I've been monitoring WvWIntel and there certainly are guilds not repping this week because they do not like where they were placed. For many reasons btw.... We need Worlds and choice to go where we want because they Dev's can never understand the interpersonal relationships, both positive and negative, that's formed over 11 years of WvW'ing. Some people should simply never be put on the same team. The Dev's proved how flawed their system will be by doing so in this beta. It's frankly arrogant to believe a couple stats on a spread sheet can build a World replacement.

As someone who spent thousands upon thousands of hours in WvW tending to our World, I can tell you these types never have, nor ever will, understand the community we formed and still hold 11 years later. I was still on JQ 11 years later. Now that our Worlds are gone, you better believe all I'll be doing is pip farming.
