I'd love to know what so as a server we could adapt and resume our fight to beat BG for once. But if it's a rigged game, that's uh, not cool, ya know ?I could definitely believe this; now that SoS is out of T1, they aren't being propped up anymore. They lose nearly every fight and seem to lose their EBG keep regularly. Same happened on BG, if SoS wasn't around to prop them up, BG would routinely lose nearly all their fights. But a 3 way match is built for a 2 vs 1; however, the coverage issues will end soon enough. I think it'll be fairly hard to maintain any type of "unspoken" 2vs1 as there is no more server identity.

I'm not complaining. As I said, it is what it is. Most people may or may not send some roamers or a small group to defend a camp, esp one that's just T1... BG sends a zerg/blob pretty much every time. Not complaining seriously... it's just the way of things and that's all I was trying to point out.

Ya Ya Yeah.7381 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Maybe there is a secret conspiracy comprised of conspirators that are secretly plotting and passing secrets to one another in order to conspire to pass secrets regarding a conspiracy or maybe BG is just bored of fighting SoS and would like to fight YB now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vova.2640 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 BG and YB seemed to made an agreement to only focus the third server.YB never touch any BG stuff and BG seems to avoid going after YB stuff as well, at least to some degree.Both server seems to zerg only the third server's home BLs.This is at least what I have noticed in the last 2 weeks.

And I was not there for the particular incident you were describing so cant specifically comment on that. Usually we just follow the ojs and fight whoever is there. The payback part doesn't have to be organized, for example SoS blocks us from defending SMC, so we might go after them when given an opportunity when they are attacking or defending.

They are seeing SoS as a thread in T1. Admit it.Not too long ago, BG teamed up with Mag to cap SoS garri in EBG. I was there that evening and I remember very well. Mag hit us on the North wall while BG hit our Southern gates. We managed to hold for like 30 mins. When SoS managed to push Mag to retreat, BG will hit us from behind, but when Mag pushed us, BG stood and watch. So, eventually we were being pushed to our spawn fort. I could see not far behind the fighting group, there were two other groups standing very close to one another, BG (green) and Mag (red). They just stood there, not fighting each other. The team-up was very obvious on the map too. EBG was evenly split between the two servers, half green and half red, blue is left with just their spawn area.And lately a spy has been pulling our EBG EWP all day. Yes, SoS is so good that they have to stoop to that low tactics : DIf given a choice, I would rather be in T2. T1 is boring because BG is boring. Really.

sorayuki.8906 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 @Tiny Doom.4380 said:This is a match up thread so it's going to get locked. Personally I think it was always a mistake to ban match up threads. WvW was intended to be a team competition and if the official forums deny players the opportunity to discuss the outcome of matches in a league then it undermines the whole principle of the competition. Match up threads need to be heavily moderated but they should never have been outright banned.That said, the YB/BG position, as I see it from YB, is that some on YB feel they'd rather not be in T1 while others feel it's fine to stay as long as we can hold our place. There is no collusion whatsoever between BG and YB and there isn't likely to be, ever. BG have the coverage to do pretty much what they want but over the past few months they've fallen into the habit of getting a big lead at the weekends then slacking off because the third team has always given up. YB doesn't generally give up and at the moment we are very strong in NA and have some good coverage in OCX and EU, meaning we can compete to an extent. That means BG has had to do a bit more work to keep its comfortable lead, which probably means BG hitting the third team (currently SoS) harder than they're used to. If there was going to be any organized double-teaming, which there won't be because, contrary to opinions often expressed, it's incredibly hard to organize and even harder to maintain, it would be more likely to involve YB and the 3rd team vs Blackgate, which is the only way BG will ever be pegged down from the top spot. SoS and YB hate each other far too much for that to happen. It could, conceivably happen with another server - TC would probably be the most amenable to trying it - but it almost certainly never will. BG will sit on their coverage and the top spot until the revamp breaks them up forever.That explains why I see so few thread discussing other servers. I feel like my question has been answered, so mods can close this.Thanks to everyone for the replies! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyShroud.2865 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I am not sure if it is double team or not since I am not there to witness it.However, there certainly is such possibility but the other possibility is higher which is just the circumstance call for it.If a zerg keep losing fights, there is little reasons why the zerg will keep trying to bash the same enemy over and over again. This is especially the case when one has more numbers than the other though many or majority do not have that capability to eye estimate that differences. Regardless, one will start to avoid that enemy thus going for the weaker opponent. This can be applied to the opponent as well. Eventually, the strongest one will keep targeting the 2nd strongest while the weakest will hit the 2nd strongest, creating a illusion of double team.
