The entire Wintersday thing is about having FUN. And it's not for the "1337" snobs out there who think winning is the only option.

Yeah, I like winning as much as the next player. And yeah, I don't enjoy getting grouped up with clueless people who get stomped because of not knowing what they're doing. But what ruins the FUN for me more than anything is the Leavers, AFKers, and jackasses that insist on calling people "n00bs" for any reason. It's even more annoying when the person doing the bashing is a bad player him/herself!

I have a dream of Guild Wars as a game where you can play PvP with your friends, in organized teams. Where matches are decided not by number of people in your team who understand what the PvP mode is about, but by actual battles for presents with snaring, knockdowns, speed boosts, backing up your teammates.

Good thing you can give them advice, even though half of the people won't listen to it.

What do you expect? Any PvP where you can't choose your team results in noob after noob ruining it. Look at RA. Look at AB.

The only sad thing is i can't rage on them in order to save myself 5minutes, dishonour ftl.

Losing has never been fun, and never will.

Exactly. 21 consec and our team mutually agreed that it was fun, but we need a break.

Look no further than your guild hall. Group up with 7 friends, and hit Enter Battle.

Good luck.

/winthread. You can't really easily mix people that are playing for enjoyment, and people that are playing for gamer points.

Think of that as a game of luck, and the number of retarded pve players in your team a way to measure your bad luck.

Lord Xeshm · Dec 24, 2007, 04:03 PM // 16:03

So many people in that arena are "Guild Wars is serious business"

Keifru · Dec 24, 2007, 04:04 PM // 16:04

68 consecutive. That's what happens when you got 4 guys working on gamer, and all complement each other's play style =D

Only reason we stopped is me and another guy had to wake up in 5 hours

Kusandaa · Dec 24, 2007, 04:43 PM // 16:43

I had a 10-win streak with an awesome team, sucks we lost to a better team. Lost 5-4 too, but we had a good run really

.

I went in a couple times after, didn't expect getting another win, and I was right. I gave up after 3 or 4 more runs.

But at the same time, yes, I'd like to team up with my friends maybe in a different DvsG arena. Else I'll just deal with the noobs and reduce play time in there to avoid blowing up in local, lol.

Yes but I don't waste costly bits on a forum server for it, let alone the time it takes for people to read this.

Maybe we should get unlucky points for the number of W/Mo's on the team?

Horseman Of War · Dec 24, 2007, 08:36 PM // 20:36

luckily with the new snowman dungeon quest, I can still get ccs when I am hexed with ragequit-due-to-loaders-noobs-and-nonpickerupers.

I have little time off work (wont even be able to get my hats this year- ill be 3k miles from my cpu for wintersday) but if you guys see a monk wearing a demon-mask and wielding wintergreen spear/eternal shield.... thats me. Last year, I was the naked pumpkin head rit.

Was in a really good group with a Meep member last night... dropped out after 10 matches to get something to eat, came back later and got owned by my old team like 6 times in a row :L

I love snowball fight arenas. Unfortunately with working, Ill be lucky to get to Numchuk Skillz before its over

Same here, some people just suck like the OP and want to blame it on everybody but themselves or want to be able to STACK teams so random players could never win. Sorry, /unsigned it should remain as is and let the best group of four players win. I don't care if you never get any points. The way it is now is the fairest way. so double /unsigned.

Snowball fights can be seen as a serious field to gain gamer pts and CCS or as a different aspect of the GW game, but either way it would be more convenient and a more enjoyable "mini game", if i can call it, if there was a version where you could team up with ppl of your choosing.

Have you ever wondered you may be the noob? Snowballing IS a noob-friendly game, it's a one sided game, and that's the way it is. That's the point of wintersday, it's not hard to see that.
