Lorelei.3918 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Title says it all. This is making it so you have to stop, open your map, check and see if home BL garri is actually under attack, then click. Which is a real problem if garri is actually under attack since a lot of people won't make it in time having to do all that. It's also just a really sleezy thing to do in general. 3 6 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) If garri is actually under attack, more than likely multiple scout calls would have been made beforehand. If an ewp is posted out of the blue with no scout calls, then most likely no one is there and it's a fake call. If it turns out fake then put the person on ignore and move along. They don't even ban hackers you expect them to ban people making fake calls? 🤷♂️ Four confused noobs who troll tactivators --> Edited November 6, 2023 by XenesisII.1540 2 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anet don't care. I'm just saying. Also lmao about the multiple callouts. Maybe on a tier 1 server. Go down a couple tiers and you are lucky if there is any callout at all, and half the time its fake. Speaking of bad callouts, I just missed one because there was no X on Hills and no other callouts so I figured it was fake. Minute later and whaddya know, we lost hills. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes upset that he got GOT by a prank EWP from somebody used trying to get into EBG, hes simply using the wrong case to justify his displeasure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchonWing.9480 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) You people have team chat on? Fortunately, I pretty much recognize all the good scouts. All 3 of them. But I mean, if you're on my server, there's no point getting in. EBG is just filled with afk wall running bots anyways.

This might be annoying, but there are actions players can take to mitigate. Since this might require GM time, I think that time would be spent better elsewhere on other actions. Alting, spying, trolling, joking and accidents are not all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetPotato.7456 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Please enable your chat/s Map tag, time stamps. When you have that, you will know where the caller is calling from. Time stamps is so for reporting purposes 😛 https://ibb.co/hD1Bb7N 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotejjeken.1267 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 They really just need to add a ping that attaches the player's name who pulled the EWP and their guild (if they have one selected). That way at least it's easy to block griefers--won't stop them from doing it but will stop you from having to see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on those servers but been linked and.... ah don't wanna kick them when down. And it'd definitely be a glass windows thing. Someone was actually defending their bad scouting when called out on it today; like they take pride in being terrible or something. Like yes, "they're on lord" really isn't good enough especially if you're going to guilt trip the commander after.

Good advice, if you see just one report and check the map and nothing seems wrong asking for more info is not a bad idea.

Also an easy check is the main WP contested or both are clear, might be a good indication of a false pull in doing a quick check.

General rule that players follow in various situations if you don't want to take the time to dive into details. Know your server, players and scouts. Laugh with your players, trust your scouts and doubt all else. Then be ready for the unknown. If you choose badly, adjust from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit To save on confusion, To Chaba and others: All I know, is that I know nothing. Personally after that and all this time, I go with "I am dirt, I am that in which something may grow.".

ArchonWing.9480 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) Usually there will be previous warnings, like enemy progress on outer or inner; it's usually not just going to be an out of the blue pull. Also another good tactic is to go to the hbl while queuing for EB so you have general idea of what's going on and when to reasonably expect an attack. You may also actually see troll pulls happening and know who to ignore, as well as who to actually take seriously. Honestly, most of the time the queue should be going to hbl anyways... If not and everyone just wants to play on EB, then who cares about defending anyways (especially since you weren't going to leave EB anyways) It can also be prevented by being in a squad, usually if on comms, you'll usually have someone on hbl. Also you may find better content than EB a lot of the time anyways. Edited November 6, 2023 by ArchonWing.9480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheIceman.1039 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Until recently, it was not the case that everyone sits in the EBG and is afraid to leave it, because otherwise it will not be possible to return to the EBG. This is a point of view to wvw devs.... Whoever makes the troll help call, can only do it once. Next time he should already be on the block list. But there are other methods. For example, the EBG tag goes to borderlands to "defend" something. Staying there until borderland can also que. Then the tag sneaks back to EBG with the players it needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
