Here we go.. Easter Sunday, wakeup and what do i see? 5 scrolls all held by EP. Well well well, didnt you get the memo? The memo states that this is no longer your server, its ours (AD) This also is no longer a buff server. So... we just got done taking everything from you... dont worry, you turds still have 1 scroll left. Also to all the EP turds i killed today (and im not done) HAPPY EASTER
What I don't get (as an AD player) is why the losing factions don't just beat the living *** out of AD as the winning faction on Chillrend. I realize it is probably too late now, but after 1 day, if DC and EP continually focused AD to deny us points, I'm sure the score would be much closer.
It's a strategic 2v1. We're not talking about alliances between 2 factions here, like some would like to allege; we're talking about factions prioritizing the leading server to deny them the most points possible at all times until the lead is close and it becomes a 2-3 horse race for 1st place.
Anyone who played GW2 should be well educated on the politics and strategy of 3 faction warfare. I don't understand why one faction is always crushing in many campaigns while the other 2 are content to fight with each other for scraps.
How would you ever become emperor if you never try to kill the faction that currently owns it?
For the record, I get that you can't just hit one faction who is winning all the time as you want to maximize your points so you will try to take the 3rd faction's things as well, but I'll never understand why you're content with "Oh! We own half the map!" When the other half of the map is held by the winning faction and you are in fact netting 0 points, no matter how great your tick is.
Honestly, there is a complete lack of strategy or a meta in this game's PvP at the moment, which I find to be pretty shocking given that there are a number of well-established guilds around. What I'd give to take the Tier 1 GW2 guilds and throw them into this game; that would be a real alliance war.

Imo, fights become more meaningful if you are actually fighting with a goal. And I mean more than farm AP to get on the leaderboard. While that is cool, I do dislike losing and your campaign reward is also substantially smaller when you do.
What's the point of fighting a war if you aren't actually fighting for something?
At the core of things, people who are losing consistently for whatever reason tend to say "we don't care about the score", but I've found that they care about score an awful lot when the match is close. If factions actually fought based around the tick for points being counted and also made strategic decisions based on which faction was winning and/or most advantaged, I think we'd see a far more fun version of Cyrodiil.
Sure, killing people is cool, but I think it is pretty fulfilling to know that you helped your faction to win a close match or kept your faction in the match while killing people.

It is simply in their DNA to fight EP in order to extract a measure of revenge for the months of beat downs they suffered at EP's hands on Thorn. AD can easily hold Ash while DC pushes east which allows AD to focus on BRK and Arrius. The score perpetuates itself in that scenario.
For EP, It is easier to farm DC because they are less likely to be represented by full organized and coordinated raid groups. If earning AP is more important than winning the map, then fighting DC is the easy choice for EP. AD can then rack up some easy points while their two enemies focus on each other.

Many of the DC (and AD) on Chillrend are former Thornblade players.

AD can easily hold Ash while DC pushes east which allows AD to focus on BRK and Arrius. The score perpetuates itself in that scenario.

This is pretty much it. It is kind of frustrating to me as a DC player to see us pushing past Chalman every day for hours, when we might not even have all of our home keeps, and AD is winning the campaign.
The same thing is happening on Thornblade too, except it is even worse.

I've said that many times. DC aims for second place, never for first. Because of their eternal blind hatred toward EP.

Blind? Operation *** red happens for the exact same reason operation *** yellow happened. If you didn't remember you used to actively organize with blue unto that end. Well, I remember.

Not unexpected.
I think people need to realize that there's going to be a lot of red flavored haterade around the NA PVP community for a while until a) EP stops acting like arrogant prigs and b) gives it time to heal/scab over.
Yeah, we know the results of TB. Everyone does. It's over. TB is a smoking corpse that will also take time to revive itself.
Leaving TB and spreading out over the various campaigns may be the best chance to save the NA PVP community. The likelihood of red losing a few campaigns is a low price to pay for a healthy game. Time for EP to start GG and GFing their opponents and showing appreciation they even have any atm, because if it was Thornblade -- they wouldn't.[/b]
