Zergs would seek out other zergs to fight and thus would create “spaces” or “protections” for havoc guilds to do stuff like cut off supply lines or ninja towers in support of a public tag’s zerg. So my background in this game, I started out playing havoc mostly on the BLs, trying to do the strategic thing called “map politics”, as a direct result of playing on a laptop that couldn’t handle the large lag-inducing blob fights. As a result, other players are ‘protected’ from blobs because there are no blobs.” “My assumption will be that by focusing on guilds, you presume that there won’t be mega-blobs because the guilds will be running separately. He was against the idea of GvG as esports. I used the example provided by Sabull because yes, his comments were refreshing, especially in the idea that guilds fighting each other improves WvW rather than just casual blobs of players. OK I see that I need to clarify something. The easy fix to GvGs is another spvp map.especially true because that format gets some resemblance of balance. If you wanted to resolve blobs that’d come down to map design. I don’t see much difference in a public 100 man blob, and a 100 man voltron guilded blob. This is especially true since guilds voltron up anyway. Given current servers barely handling a three way…it’d be mess. The is what I disagreed with (namely going to 100 player cap). Regardless if this is the wrong interpretation or not. Essentially: ANET, please have more guild centric stuff in WvW because. The OP comes off as just a request, with a quote that inspired it. Guilds would be great at that if they didn’t tend to focus solely on combat.

The hard part is teaching new players what’s important at what time and how to do it. Even if it was just a signpost in Citadel where guilds and players could say ’we’ll be doing this thing (fighting with 20, scouting an area, roaming, etc) for a while.’ There are things that need doing and sometimes people to do them. I would actually rather see server-centric play step forward as it gives smaller guilds a frame to exist in. Support for players to participate in guilds and WvW in a capacity other than GvG would definitely be good…but I’m not sure if that’s included in your post. I’ve seen a few scouting guilds, which is nice. That said, it would be good to see guild stuff that could band the individual effort together in ways other than just combat.

More GvG guilds would benefit the GvG scene and hurt the rest. The two things (guilds and individuals) have a symbiotic relationship. If I may speak from my experience, the WvW effort does benefit from such guilds but is equally or more extensively benefited from having many individuals who understand what’s going on and are willing to fight, scout and cap structures without a tag. This suggests that WvW is only for hardcore guilds. Hidden beneath this is the realization that fighting a casual guild is not as fun as fighting a GvG guild. Some have transferred to fight other guilds, but they are not the majority. I’ve seen guilds transfer to be on stronger servers, to face servers that have more even numbers (because others were too high or too low), or for political reasons. You also contend that guilds transfer servers to fight other guilds as fighting casual militia mobs is not fun. Protection from blobs, then, must be pursued in other ways. Even if the blob is made up of multiple guilds, they’re not going to self-separate willy-nilly. I suspect that as long as a blob is the most effective way to do things, though, there will continue to be blobs. As a result, other players are ‘protected’ from blobs because there are no blobs. My assumption will be that by focusing on guilds, you presume that there won’t be mega-blobs because the guilds will be running separately. You sort of define it as “protections from a blob being created for roamers, scouts, and small havoc guilds to play WvW their way,” but I don’t understand what that has to do with guilds. I’ll ask for clarification where I see it’s needed, but I apologize if I inadvertently make some false assumption. I’m not totally sure what the thread is actually about as the OP is rather vague.
