Oh, and I want "finished" in the top 30. Not landed in the top 30 after beating an absolutly horrible guild that was rank 20, 10 minutes after ladder reset.
You are gonna feel pretty silly if he busts out some decent guild ;D

"Half". Where did you get that statistic from? Your ass? Okay then, moving along then.

I could say the same about balance. I've played in some shitty balance pugs, much like how it seems you're describing some shitty IWAY pugs. The monks didn't kite through wards, the mesmers couldn't keep migraine on the monks. The ranger couldn't savage shot a 2 second cast, etc... Omg, I guess that means that half the balance players arer pretty damn dumb!!11111

He will, but at the same time if hes going to make those claims, at the very least provide he should us with the guild name. That doesn't even prove he was in/lead the guild but its better than just saying 'zomgz i was teh leaader of teh top 30 guild!11'

I highly dbout he will. Even if he does, he should have identifyed his guild in the first place since he was boasting about it. Plus it won't actualy prove he was even in it if he can name one that was anywhere near the top 30. So, I won't be feeling silly regardless of what he says.

You don't have any credibility, don't make claims about other peoples.
You could be in the best guild in the world, I don't care. It doesn't have anything to do with your argument.

Yes GW players left and are playing WoW. But it's certainly NOT because of balance.

I left to WoW because GW was to short for me, then I returned when Factions came out just to find out it was a big rip-off. Also left to WoW because I got sick of Anets late nerfs, got sick of iway iway iway bspike bspike bspike rspike rspike rspike. In fact Anet is just screwing theirselfs with bad chapters and bad nerfs, making this game a gimmick>skill game which it wasnt intended as (at least my box promised me this, dunno about the rest...).

So yes, I did leave because of IWAY, to play PvE and PvP in WoW, which is way more fun after all.

if iway was to be nerfed to uselessness, literally thousands (if not tens of ) would quit . I doubt anet cares about the opinion of 1-2% of the player base (tbh I doubt they care about any opinions, but thats an entirely new matter).

personally, I dont hate iway (but im an ultra noob in pvp anyway), as a player from our alliance said, a build is a build. heck, i might enjoy iway (as i love warriors as a class).

but if/when u win vs a good iway team, dont u get some sense of completion, or a bit prouder with urself?

all due respect, half of the ppl that complain a lot about iway dont do anything that common sense might dictate, when facing iway. I am ready to scream when I see yet another (good ranked at that) guild team die miserably from an eoe going off, while they are balled in some ward and dont move even a bit

tbh im not sure where im going with this

I do hope seeing [sOap] winning even more, it is a nice name


PS and I doubt those people left ONLY becoz of iway. it is bound to be more of that :

Personally I have nothing against the *build*, it's a build that can rape alot indeed, and that's why its dominating.
I just hate seeing EVERYONE playing it, and using it as a way to get fame because they can't group with anyone else.
People hate IWAY players because alot of those who play iway are complete incompetant idiots, and people don't like getting beaten by them.

The new HoH doesn't help either because its now smaller and more confined making IWAY, which is highly dependant on spirits, more powerful on that particular map.

And there are a lot of balance and spike players that are complete incompetant idiots. Might as well hate everyone with that logic.

I thought IWAY sucked at HoH holding?

Its the already mentioned "e-peen" thing. as long as you lose, all of the enemy team are annoying noobs that only use gimmicks, if you win, they are lame noobs that should quit GW. pretty much sums it up doesnt it . there is an always increasing number of players thinking this way, people who actually enjoy playing and do it without much e-peen are on the other hand getting rarer. this aspect is present in absolutely all games with even the slightest competitive aspect to them.

I dont see what the problem is....

From what ive seen, iway takes just as much coordination as any balanced team. Any well coordinated balanced team can beat an iway, and iway has many counters.

ppl iway because tombs is full of scrubs
when was the last time u saw a r3+/r6+ pug win hoh ?
it's much easier to play iway than wait 1-2 hours to find a pug that rage after losing in UW
the problem with tombs is that LFG u see spammed in every district
if ANet found a better way of pugging maybe we wouldnt see so much iway

not really, zealots fire is a ton of damage for smite and when its stripped off you lose a lot of damage so the necs can heal it, if you arent putting much pressure on the iway youre gonna lose.
