Of course it doesnt matter to me. It matters to you and other people who take it seriously if I were to /roll or 'red team leaves' in rated battles. Oh noes, I get accused of ladder manipultion when I didnt even leave or request someone to leave because of the stupid E-peen ladder.

Cosidering that you promote playing the game for fun, it shouldnt bother you how I play to enjoy the game. The problem is that I'm not taking ladder play seriously, yet I get told of or in trouble for leaving / rolling / red team leaves / PRS, whatever. All that matters to me right now is Z coins, and that is the only reason I entered HB today.

I dislike PVP, and I am bored of everything in GW. Right now though, Z coins is new and I just want Z coins untill I get bored of that too.

To the OP, one simple sentence. PvP is PvP for a reason. If you want sh!t handed to you, go play Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Otherwise, if you want to have a challenge (Which is what this thing you call PvP has) you can play as how the game was intended.

Dee Cazo · Apr 29, 2009, 02:47 AM // 02:47

This isnt spam. I didnt know this existed until today and serves little purpose except boosting in a title track which other people try to earn. Hence why its good that its gone.

Did any of you actually read any part of Kaon's first post other than the second line? If you did and had an IQ over 10, you would realize that he's not bitching about not being able to /roll for a title that nobody cares about. He's saying that there are other uses for the /roll command, and does not think that it should be removed from PvP arenas.

Honestly, I don't care about HB or the Commander title at all, and would not care if they were removed from the game, but if Anet wants to make the Commander title more of and indicator of skill, then they should have also reset everyone's and required someone to be above X rank/rating.

PvP is composed of GvG, HA, HB, RA, TA, AB and the all other arenas scattered in PvE area. Not just HB - amazing!

The roll command has only been used (so far or predominately) in HB to decide matches.

He just doesn't understand why this feature was removed from OTHER PvP areas (apparently PvP is more than just HB) which have nothing to do with HB and where this abuse/exploit/abomination - whatever you wish to call it - never happened.

GoGo interpretation skills or most likely "Lets read the first sentence only cause the rest its toooooo looooong and booooooring!".

Did anyone actually ever have fun playing Hero battles? Seems like ArenaNet is just trying to keep a bad idea afloat.

Kinetic Trilogy · Apr 29, 2009, 03:15 AM // 03:15

I've played it a couple times, in an unrated match. I went against this same guy twice with Gwen in my party. After the first match, he asked me to remove her because she was a pure interrupter ^_^

Get a grip Kaon.

The guild name thing was kinda cute, and you got your own way which was great, stop pushing it. Especially with such a ridiculous issue.

/roll in PvP clearly adds so much value to the game, right?

Is the /roll command causing any problems in the other PvP areas?

Have you ever read a thread saying "OH NOES THOSE DAMN BASTARDS KEEP DECIDING AB, HA, RA, TA, GvG WITH ROLLS!!! MOTHERRED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOERS PLAY INSTEAD!"?

Was the last MAT decide by /roll?

Now the /roll command has been removed from all the outposts and PvP areas - to avoid "casinos" in PvE and to avoid HB decisions by /roll.

Of course people still have the "rock, scissor, paper" and the "color of cape" method to decide HB matches.

And of course people can form a party and go play casino in an explorable area.

Do you know how you stop people that don't intend playing HB ti go to HB?

You make the Hero commander title not count to the KoaBD track. You don't give pve rewards for a pvp mode.

Problem solved.

Kinetic Trilogy · Apr 29, 2009, 03:40 AM // 03:40

lol. I'm thinking you assumed I was speaking about the other PvP area's as well; I wasn't. If it was being used in other forms of PvP, such as the ones you listed, then they would have removed it earlier. But no, I was speaking only about HB.

Gogo Interpretation Skill?

Do you have any idea how many points it takes to max out PvP titles? I can assure you that people are not rolling in HB so that they can get a +1 for KoaBD. Stop making ridiculous statements.

HB is the dumbest thing they ever added into Guild Wars and the devs are complete morons for putting it in.

They are even bigger morons for getting rid of the only reason to actually play HB. Nice job, keep making your game suck more. Ka na? Baka.

What? The devs are morons for trying to implement a new type of PvP in an effort to maintain their player base?

And they're even bigger morons for getting rid of /roll? Yeah, Anet trying to fix its dying PvP game type by getting rid of a way players abuse emotes to point farm is really dumb. This was a correct move made by Anet whether or not the player base recognizes it as so. Obviously people will always find ways to try and cheat the system and quickly farm points, but it's unfair to criticize Anet for working against it. They have every right to try and stop players from improperly playing HB. Getting rid of /roll was a step towards fixing HB, but their are much bigger balance issues that need to be fixed before HB will actually be considered a respectable game type, and not one that is only played (read: abused) by the masses during Double Point Weekends.

You are not going to stop determined Zcoin/commander points farmers by banning /roll.

Even when /roll was allowed, it didn't really hurt HB...just because the other person rolled didn't mean you had to. You could still fight out the match like normal.

BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I love reading people who QQ over not being able to cheat or break rules.

QQ more, I want to feast on your tears! As does this guy!

QQ More! I THIRST!

No really, I'm loving reading this thread. Just as I hope to enjoy reading a similar QQ thread on the nerfed Perma SF and the other nerfed exploits/easy modes that shouldn't exist.

Edit:

Just to point something out...

The solution is simple! Don't MIX PvE WITH PvP.

I can play PvE! I can play PvP! I don't want to be playing PvP while I'm playing PvE or vice-versa.

Guildwars has loads of sub communities.

The largest ones are the PvP, the PvE and those that do PvE and PvP.

When I play PvP I generally use a PvP character. And if people use PvE characters to play PvP is more because the damn PvP only very recent allowed "good looking" (and efficient too) stuff and is still so damn restrictive.

I love to play PvE, but I also like some PvP every now and then. I usually stay away from PvP due to people like the OP, who seem to congregate at simple PvP stuff. And all my PvE characters (well, most, I don't play all of them often for all) are able to do PvP rather well. Armor, builds, weapons, good to go. I don't use PvE characters in PvP for looks, but because it's simpler and requires fewer character slots. "Playing PvE while playing PvP" gives me more insentive to do PvP tbh.

BTW, "those that do PvE and PvP" are called PvX

Getting rid of /roll does absolutely nothing. If they wanted to fix their game, they would get rid of the reason people are abusing the system. But I wouldn't want to turn this into an anti title thread.
