To the OP: what would be ways to make it harder?
- killing a guard is easy.-

I had no issue with the tagging until the mounts came along. Thanks to mounts you can easily tag a keep on any class without having to worry about getting in combat. Even if you manage to screw up to the degree that you get caught and killed, it's faster than ever to run back. In the olden days you could at least try to intercept the tagger unless they were a p/d thief or something, and discourage them from repeated tagging by killing them. That's over now. There is effectively no counterplay to it and just increases the already thankless workload of the scouts.
Actually the mount is why I think it’s ok now. Response time has already been ramped up so much by mounts. Anything to slow that down (including cheap waypoint tagging strats) is/are welcome.

Wait, we thought you were the best insividual WvW player in gw2 who never loses in 1v1 situations, how could this happen?
Well…. Obviously this was 1v3000. So there were just a few too many. 🤷

I have 6 of these armor boxes and based on the wiki they should have trailblazer stats, it took a bit more than 6 weeks to acquire these and from what I can see there is no option to pick trailblazer stats like the wiki shows. Am I mistaken or is this the case for everyone else too?
Wild shot here: do you have heart of thorns? I imagine you do, but if you don’t, that armor type likely would not be available to you?
At this stage of the game I’d be shocked if you didn’t have it…-

The people who don't want alliances, don't care about balance, don't care about competition, they only want to zombie farm rewards like eotm, pretend they want to be a part of some community but are too stubborn or lazy to click twice to actually join one.
To add to this,
people want a commander on their map when they ‘need them’ but also want some one else to blame when things don’t go right. But they don’t want the responsibility of tagging themselves nor if joining a guild and supporting a guild with commanders.
They want the ‘community’ commanders to stay and not go with their guilds because it’s not fair.. 🤦♂️

When it’s all 20 arrow carts positioned, it becomes more complicated and I see players give up, they choose not to try the attack and therefore less content for everyone.
Fixed that for you. 🙂

There is both. There are players that do not understand how something worked and call it a hack. There are also game hacks out there regretfully and then there are just odd events. Example odd event, attacked a group the other day and they ended up running. Came across another roamer right after they ran and they downed me. Before they could get to finish me I was up. To me that would have looked like a hack if they didn't see the fight with the others and the only thing I figured is one of the group that ran were killed while I was down and the system gave the revive to me since I damaged them and was the only one down from it. To the roamer I was fighting it would have looked quite odd.
Or, several months back was 1v1’ing a player by an air shrine (the high one) he hit me just after killing the vet and I was low, was on my ele, downed me and I most formed off the cliff to the hay bale below. When I hit the bale, I came back up from downed state. He whispered me, we stopped, had a conversation about it then dueled. Was a good time but I STILL haven’t been able to reproduce what happened.

You should have gone there first, versus the participation. Lol, I sometimes linger trying to bait out their scouts. Then their over-stated reports draw more from where they were. 'How many did they have!? Don't know they killed me before I could get a count! Okay we are on the way!' 🙂. The game within the game, priceless.
Agreed. I think most servers have that issue. But yeah, to me, part of being a havoc is creating, well, havoc. Making the other team respond to essentially nothing. But that’s a whole different thing.

Hmm and I just now realized I didn't address another point Mr. Strider here made. A scout identifying whether it's a tap is not the same as preventing the waypoint being disabled. That first one is well within the capabilities of any scout worth giving participation to. That second one is another thing altogether.
Get rid of mounts, and I’ll agree to the ‘killing a guard’ .
It’s too fast to respond right now. If you slow that down, we can talk. 🙂

Agree it is a valid task for a roamer and strategical play to block quick access to a defender. To the OP's point though it could be made more difficult. Example it could be adjusted to show the swords but not lock out the way point till a guard is killed versus just aggro'd. As a roamer I could see this as valid. The question though does need to be weighted by does it further remove roles from scouting which is another roamer task that's done less these days due to a multitude of reasons.
A true scout that is valuable, and wanted, would be given participation by a commander. If one’s not on, or not willing to give participation, then it’s either a) not needed (the scout) or b) not valued by the commander for various reasons.
Either way, it’s a scouts job to ascertain if it’s a tap or not.
If people aren’t willing to scout or utilize scouts, I don’t think the process should be made harder to tap a keep.

Name a strategy they removed that wasn't based on broken trait interactions?
Lure them away from their tower, stop trying to fight the ranger that's camping above. Use pulls, don't just stand there with melee weapons and cry.
There's plenty of damage, you just don't know how to use it. If you're dying to someone in minstrels you're just bad
Run speed runes, congrats now you're fast

The poster you are referencing is convinced that claim buff has killed the mode. 🤷🤦♂️😉

Whatever the changes end up being, I hope we can sell or merchant these tens of thousands of tickets that have no further use.
Or… what they’ll do is allow it to be merched, then 2 months later allow it to buy clovers, mystic coins, or the new eod currency lol.

I agree that it's one of the best ways to contribute solo. However, remember that most professions have a build available that allow running away without dying for a considerable distance, even if actively chased by a player that is experienced at doing so. Now imagine your goal is to prevent a waypoint being disabled by such players. All this person has to do is shoot a guard once or scratch a gate, or scratch a cannon.
Is this good game design?
If you NEEDthe run backs, then yes. It’s good game design. Mounts already make that process faster than it was.

Psst.. you don’t even have to damage the guard.. just throw down a piece of siege in view of one of the archers and they’ll peeped it until it’s dead. In fact, pop a bit of supply in it to make it last longer.

Yeah sorry prob stupid idea.
No.. It would be a great idea if people could pull bias out of the equation. If people just looked at numbers, maybe it could work.. It’s just most of us can’t. 🙂

There are no unbiased players.
But on the upside if you vote me in I swear to the allmighty kitten that I will not rest until engineer rifle 1 shoot moa elixirs.
19 minutes ago, Zok.4956 said:How would you made sure those "mighty nine" represent all parts of the WvW community and are totally unbiased and really know what they are talking about? Hint: You can't.
Who cares about rifle 1? Is engineer even a real class? I would promise not to rest until the rewards are buffed and we will all get the new WvW legy weapons at least on a monthly basis just from playing WvW.
And @Dawdler.8521has the right of it. Everyone that plays (including the Devs) have a bias.
Having a ‘council’ would be a cluster.

+1 to the OP saying this may not work for sPvP/WvW and that the answer shouldn't be to just stack, agree with that. But I don't think that covers it enough. Take world bosses, how long has been the joke, if they just would have taken one step to the right and the world boss would have won the day as everything goes splat.
Funny story: was doing teq the other day on a longbow ranger (because why not) and shifted to in front of teq to avoid more of the red circles in the left side where most people are.. So, one step (actually a few but yeah) to the right and …. Splat! Teq stepped right on me, insta down state and remembered very quickly why we no longer stand there before the defense stages…. 🤦♂️😉

Also in topic of unusual uses: it can be used to make character look like it's taking a dump in a bush 😔
And on downed/defeated players..
Not that I would of course….. 😬🤐

Hibernating for another link.
Hibernating to get open for another bandwagon.
Gandara likes to be carried, not carry themselves, since somehow a medium link are ppt gods and can get them from t5 to t1.
The pattern is pretty obvious.

Ez task. Delete link servers, place people there on the current main server and give them 1000 gems. GG
Easier task: delete all home servers, allow people to form their own alliances and group them into new worlds!
Ezpz.

I am convinced that Anet is just trolling our player base with this lol. 🧌
WvW Warlord armor box stat not available
in World vs. World
Posted
It is more of an Anet question to answer.
This has been an issue since HoT came out, and not just for that time frame. Elite specs aren’t available, gliding or mounts aren’t available depending on which expansions / living stories you have.
Why some stats and not others I am not sure.
