"Congrats on TA for having coordinated the most "non-peak NA" players. Many HoD players admitted that SBI had superior talent while fighting. Just when you logged off for bed after taking back much in force, and logging on in the morning before work and you see they took over the entire WvW was annoying."
Who? Where? SBI had a single weekend on top, and every other "primetime" weekend or weekday, never held a PPT lead for any significant period of time. Get real, dude.
I don't know about talent because I don't know anybody on TA personally nor do I group with the major SBI guilds butof the reasons you saw TA lead after the first weeks was a drop in participation due to night capping. This isn't to say that SBI would have won in a straight up fight, I doubt we would have. I personally thought it sucked to go into a losing battle knowing that a couple hours of progress after work would be gone in the morning. Plus repair bills in PVP are fucking stupid. Anet made a terrible fucking choice there. It's why I've been doing sPVP more now, haven't even que'd for the ZergVZergVZerg in over a week and sadly it's my favorite part of the game.
I think "night capping" (which I think is an unfair term, it lessens the legitimate progress made by those players) was completely fine. The problem was nobody on SBI or JQ stood up and tried to recruit guilds for our off peak times. THAT'S how we should have battled it. Not whining on the forums that I saw too much. But official forums for MMO's usually are just shit separated into different sections.
It's simple, if you want to protect your castle, you can't have guards only work from 9-5 and 'hope' nobody invades during the other times.
If JQ or SBI would stop being such pussies on the forums, we could have had some transfers and created an alliance just the same. Granted, that would have kind of sucked fighting the same 'mega-servers' match-up each time.
Tell us how you really feel. I suspect you losers got far more bored than the winners, even if winning was boring. The fault lies with Anet for not giving the people sitting on your server incentive to do WvW, not with TA for actually caring about something they were doing. Get real. The fact that you find it important to try and shit over we who accomplished more than you, regardless of how long it lasted, is vastly more pathetic than people trying to win in a game.
I completely agree with Darkness Falls. It was the greatest success of DAoC pvp to me, it incentivized everything AND it drew people out of the frontiers and into the dungeon when they were ahead, being itself a natural balance for numbers.
I don't see him "shitting' on anything, just saying how it must have been boring besides the first quote, I'll give you that, but I think that was just generic sarcasm. So tell me, since you were in TA, if it was so awesome and fun why the breakup? Why not continue to dominate? Wait to see if servers themselves tried to do something like I mentioned above (I know a couple guilds transferred to JQ or were thinking about it at least) so it was just a matter of time. I don't understand after what, a month of a games release that your obviously effective alliance is over ...why?
EDIT: FYI, I'm not being a dick, I think what TA did was perfect. In WoW I was in one of the dominate PVP guilds and people would AFK out of BG's facing us except for a few that organized against us. I just don't understand why it stopped so early in the game before really giving it some time for servers to adjust.
