Shove sins are awesome!!

AB is fun. AB is PvE where you farm people instead of monsters.

now how exactly does AB qualify as PvP experience?
AB=farming, just instead of farming for loot you farm for factions, and instead of farming purely mobs you farm mobs(AI in shrines) with some pesky players running around with awkard builds.

there is the odd guild group that actually tries to play AB PvP style but they're a minority...

but than again, AB is still funny and a good place to relax in. nothing too serious and a good place to pass time stresslessly.

Here is one poem from luxon side:

A storm rolls in from the sea
Covering the land with black thunder clouds
Rain whips the ground at their feet
As they come ashore in this foreign land

Thunder brakes the silence
Of twelve brave Luxons assembled ashore
Gazing through the misty rain
At the mountain not a mile away
So dark and silent it stands there
The mighty House Zu Heltzer
Reaching for the cloudcloked skies
So grim and fearful in might

With the wind in their backs they start walking
Decisive men of the sea
They strive through this darkened land
With only House zu Heltzer in their sight
The closer they get to the mountain
The clearer their eyes can see
A forest of one thousand spears awaiting
Awaiting the battle that will be

A cry of war emerges
Echoes over the field
Luxons run, like wolves up the sloaps
Boldley charging the enemy lines

With weapons so fearsome and sharp in their hands
And shields of oakwood and steel
They slit open stomachs and split skulls to the jaw
Intestants cover the field

The defenders are weak in this brutal war
The Luxons have power and guts
A bloodshed like no one has seen here before
None can escape their cuts

Arrows with fire fly through the air
Touching houses and shields
The Luxons can feel victory is near
As the Kurzicks headlessly flees

A gust of wind blows in from the north
Clearing the clouds away
As twilight falls and the stars come forth
And the seawolves return to the bay

Corpses lie scattered all over the field
For the ravens to eat as they please
The House zu Heltzer is now left there behind
As they sail with the first morning breeze

And now to the thread:
1. Good to test builds
2. You can never get bored of killing helpless kurzicks
3. FFF Kurzs, especially good at grenz
4. Time killer

I AB for the purpose of refining my character's abilities, like you said, and the thrill of running into three people, living, and killing them all. Amazes me how dumb some people can get to not bring self heals with no monk...

Also, i enjoy PvP, but cbf to be forced into playing some wiki build for a high-ranked HA team, or the same for a GvG team. i just dislike high-end pvp like that, so it leads to AB.

Our purpose is simply for our guild. To form a guild group that test spikes out to c if they are affective or not for other pvp.

Its a great place for a noob ranger like myself to practice basic PvP skills like kiting, interrupting etc. that don't apply to PvE (meaning that i usually don't get practice)

pretty sure the AI is better than a good amount of people in this game. in fact, i want anet to change hardmode so that monsters run rawrspike and/or podspike, just so i can watch the AI destroy 99% of players.

When I feel my blood pressure is dropping I participate in an AB match. It's now being studied by the British Heart Foundation as a non-drug therapy.

THAT 90% OF PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD SAY THEY AB TO WATCH BAD PPL SUCK OR WHAT NOT WOULD NOT IN ANY WAY BE INDICATIVE OF THE MAJORITY OF AB PLAYERS' ATTITUDES EVEN IF IT WEREN'T SOME BULLSHIT STATISTIC THAT YOU MADE UP ON THE SPOT.
