I havent faced PRX before, but from what I heard they are a relative big guild? HB has 110 members spread out between GMT / EST, and field an average of 20-25. I thought PRX were way bigger?

I agree that FoE is great opponents. Sadly we dont get to fight Agg much since they are a PST guild, but from what Ive seen when Ive stayed up late, they are doing very well.

Maybe a couple month ago, but last i saw they didnt get more than 40 out except reset which was about 60.
Seen you guys running 30 or more all week this week. Very solid guild who dont hesitate or second guess what youre doing.

We are not running around with 30+. I wish we did Reset nigth, and saturday evening were the online times we had those kind of numbers.

Can't you come to T1 and fight RG for a week? Like pointed out before, the major deciding factor for which tier a server ends up in is coverage. RG is a European guild that plays during european primetime. While they might be able to get some fights against american guilds during the weekend, when people can start early/stay up late, the rest of the weekend they would probably be left fighting a few puggies while the majority of the american players are still in school/uni/working. Transferring to SoS they would at least be guaranteed a fight against HB during their primetime.

RG plays on the EU server Piken Square (T4 soon T3), not on a US server.

so RG transferred to SoS to get some fights? lol. They want some fights to happen and they moved to the #1 server.

makes perfect sense.

Or they can move to a lower tier and blow servers out by 300k fighting the tower guards.

The posters in this thread are supposed to be giving respect to their favorite guilds friend and foe. Not bitching and moaning about how SoS isn't winning hard enough because they have no EU time so they have to bring, arguably, the best guild on EU servers over to the NA bracket to play for them for "fights". It's truly pathetic how selfish and rude people are.

Give respect to guilds, not argue and call them out for where they are playing. RG and WM are nowhere near the top of the brackets in either region. I respect that a hell of a lot more than those guilds who's only claim to fame is "we're #1". How ignorant does one have to be to think that those guilds don't get good fights in their respective tiers? Step off it.

Damn, I have a rather large list I could recognize, if I leave any out someone will smack me.

Stormbluff Isle
RAGE, Mord, LoD (Now retired), NK (Now retired), Yaki, NYS, SBI (Yulo runs a guild for the pugs to educate them in WvW), CRNG, Calm, sF (Select Few) It truly is hard for me to pinpoint teams from SBI, the team makeup is that of many small guilds that form Voltron

Sea of Sorrows
Tsym, Agg, DiE, Merc

Jade Quarry
AoS, GODS (Once FIRE), Oreo, SICK, Nord

Sanctum of Rall (I have yet to make my own observations but my team members have made mention of the two following guilds)
CDS (Friends from past SBI), Choo

Kaineng
WM (Overall morale booster even with a language barrier)

WM, AoS, GODS, TYSM, AGG, these are all large zerg guilds. numbers dont exactly equate to quality for skirmishes. Of them, I'd put TYSM at the top of the quality pile, but it will be interesting to see if theyre still any good after rendering gets fixed.

Anonymous Defender (https://www.youtube....o?feature=watch) regularly posts videos of them kicking ass with 4-5 against 10-20. I think they used to be on Kaineg, but I think they left the server when WM transferred there, as their newest video shows them fighting magumma atm.

For the record, RG haven't transferred anywhere. We're still on Piken right now. Don't know why people decided we had.

Sorry if it came across like that. I was more referring to them saying you need to transfer there or something to that end.

Just transfer to JQ or SoS.

This is not a post for our guild to transfer anywhere, I personally just wanted to know what the best guilds out there was and so that people could give their respect to the players that spends alot of time on this game.

[phunk]

Might want to update your server Zyrenus incase people think we're playing on NA still

and getting some more European opinions in this thread would be great, it is mostly NA currently which is slightly disappointing.

[Im Legion]

After watching some of the guild fights of RG versus TUP and sIN (It was fun standing next to two dozen enemies simply enjoying the show), I'd say they're definitely the best I've seen so far on the EU servers. I always considered TUP a great guild, but after watching them get rolled completely by RG, I came to understand the differences in quality there can be between organized guilds.

The idea that only T1 servers can have great guilds is of course ludicrous. Recently transferred from a low tier server to a high tier server to see what it's like and so far higher tier servers haven't managed to impress me with anything but the sheer amount of people. After a certain critical mass of players you can't call anybody skillful anymore since half your enemy's screens will drop to 1 FPS and it just becomes spamming AoEs and hoping there's actually a player there.

[Arzqwar]

sure NYS, loyal, honor, and pride. truly tier 1 guild

There are no "best" guilds, imho; there are only good people you like to run with. Besides, "best" guild is what you make of the guild you are in.

There are of course many definitions to answer the question of what are the best guilds out there. And I wouldn't ever say there is one best guild in GW2 because there might be a smaller guild with more quality but less quantity, compared to a bigger guild that with more people are more efficient in wiping enemies because of that. You really can't compare those two guilds imho.

Also, perhaps one guild is really efficient at sieging and getting points for their server, while the other guild is good at fighting open battles which doesn't make any difference because even if these pugs get scared off the map more stand in queue ready to jump in. I think it's impossible to name one "best guild" unless you're a bit lenient.

But the purpose of this thread was to give cred and to make other guilds who are looking for good fights aware of these guilds so they can keep their eyes open for them. Also the guilds we're looking to be made aware of in this thread was mostly guilds we could meet on the battlefield, not guilds that are effective at Golem-rushing or defending towers

I gotta agree with Vihar, if you want to play the best and not just be freeloading off the best you need to go to a server that sucks and build them up. Kinda like what War Machine is currently doing with Kaineng.

Wow, you're not in the lower tiers, are you?

Kaineng has been fighting something like 10v1 for a month in the easiest and most one sided matches in NA. I don't know what anyone's proved other than transfers make for uneven matches.
