Curse

First of all, before writing this post let me make it clear that I am in no way racist toward the korean race.

Lately I've been playing a healing Monk at the Hall of Heroes to see if I can win. I usually find a good party (If I don't I don't join it) containing 3 monks, elementalists, the works. I even make sure we have a teamspeak server up. Today, I found a team that I stuck with for about 3 hours even though I was losing. At first, when we entered the mission, we got teleported straight to the Hall of Heroes (WOW.), without even doing the undead mission, which was a suprise. None of us had ever been there before. But we were a good team and were pretty sure we could win.

It was us versus 2 other teams, 1 which was American, and pretty bad, and 1 which was Korean. At first we killed the American team off and they went to go hide, and the koreans would hide in their spawn. We knew they would come at the last second and try to capture the altar, so we held our ground. And we could have beaten them, there were about 20 seconds on the clock and we had 5 living guys at the altar and the altar was ours, it's just that we forgot about the altar and ended up losing.

So we retried. And retried. And retried. And every single time, on the 1v1 team match, we would always lose to koreans. ALWAYS. Then, we finally fought a European team and won, then went on to the 6 way battle, and the thing about the 6 way is that the Koreans always win somehow, so we lost pretty fast in there. Then I went to go find another team. And once again, time after time, we would get to the 6 way and lose to koreans. Eventually, the HoH got kinda boring and I left. This isn't the first time this has happened, whenever I fight Koreans I feel like they're experts and are programmed to know what to do. Now that I think about it further, I don't think I've ever beaten a Korean!

I know that Koreans most likely don't have an unfair advantage, but it seriously feels like they do. At first I thought it might have been my team, but we take down other American/European teams down easily. It's always koreans.

So, what I was thinking is, what if there was a seperate HoH where you would only fight American teams? Of course, for Koreans there would be Korean vs Korean, European vs European too, etc.

And in this arena, you would get less of a reward than the HoH, but still something to justify you playing (That's why I don't like random 4v4).

I know a lot of people are going to be like "Well maybe you should get better at guild wars, or get a better team" but it's just not that easy, and I'm honestly not sure how good I am.

Comments? Suggestions?

Last night I fought 2 korean teams and one american. In the end it was us vs the other americans.

How to beat the koreans? Play better, have better builds, use better strategy, and have better communication then they do. Same as you would for an american team.

Koreans are VERY good at multiplayer games, especially if they take a liking to them (eg Starcraft). It's a different culture with internet cafes taking the place of pubs, bars and clubs.

Sorry, but this will be pre-emptively lost.

If A happens while B is true, does not imply that A is because of B. That is a logical fallacy, and what you arrived at
