So funny.  SF talking about going through hell on JQ.  My heart goes out as you've been there for sooooooooo long.  As soon as JQ sinks (not saying they will) those fair weather guilds will once again abandon ship for the next big thing.  

These forums are classic

I was promised a position of 'End Table' by you! You LIED! I will spill all the drinks you guys put on my head from now on. And I'm smoking that cigar you left too.

But if I am too small and ugly, maybe I need to make a character more befitting Rage to achieve my goal of getting in... Hmmmm. I will reveal this new character this weekend! You will regret this, Vi-whore! You and your... your... guild.

Unrelated rant follows:

About scores and such: there was a great fight at EB lowlands keep last night. You'd never know there was a score. After a while, it became clear that neither SoR or BG would actually cap lowlands and just wanted to play, it became fun. This is what WvW can be at its best. It was a blast. When a game gets under my skin enough to make me mad, I know its doing it right. Most of the capture, flip, recapture, zerg run blah dee blah is boring as get out. This was 2 hours of frustrating fun.

That's what I play for. On JQ we paid our dues for 4 months, as did most of our transfers from SBI. None of us were HoD or SoS. We have all been through the 3rd and 2nd place purgatory, so we get it. It gets frustrating. But if you stick to what's fun and fight on, eventually the wins will come. We didn't get here the easy way. All of us came from the 'also ran' servers.

We still play with that in mind. If you're not having fun, forget it. 1st, 2nd, 3rd it doesn't matter. You need to be having fun or else it's not worth playing. If the only thing that makes it fun for you is points and places, you'll not last long here. If you are still here, you're probably having fun, so quit ya bitchin and get to it.

The only bad part about the Spvp titles is that you are a big target for people. I'm running around with "Champion Phantom", and it's like I have a "kick me" sign on my back.

For $25 Kickstarter donation you get one copy of the game... or you can wait until the release and pay $50.  You know all the naysayers are going to play the game anyway.

TSYM also was a huge boost for us recently

I have been playing NA prime time in the SoR BL for the most part. As you all know, when you are in your home borderland, you are constantly on the defensive as two enemies are constantly assaulting you. Disclaimer: I am not complaining about being 2v1'd, because it is both the nature of the game itself and the nature of being in your own BL. We will have a guild like EMP with randoms full forcing Bay as it is the closest and easiest major objective for them to take off an on all night. We will also have BG hitting Hills with their full force off and on all night. Meanwhile havoc squads from both servers will run around and try to kill reinforcements to whatever we are defending and will take camps.

Pretty typical evening when defending your own BL.

Unfortunately when one server is attacking an objective with 80 people, you cannot always afford to split forces. This results in a SoR zerg ball fighting a <insert server> zerg ball. If we win, that zerg ball is pretty much forced into the nearby supply camps as well so gates/walls can be repaired. When I say forced, we can expect the enemy zerg we just wiped (if we do) to return much of the time... and need to be ready for it.

Then all of a sudden, the keep on the other side of the map gets hit and people are forced to move there next. Some will stay at the first keep to watch for the other zerg, and a force suitable in size to beat the other attackers will move to defend. Then supplies need to be gotten, doors/gate repaired, and rinse/repeat all night ad nauseum.

I have been running counter havoc for the most part this matchup (thanks for the dozens of awesome small fight btw everyone who was running havoc too), but have been forced to rejoin our 'zerg ball' because our 'zerg ball' was smaller than the enemies by far because we were forced leave defense forces at keeps because they were getting hit at the same time.

Yeah long post... more serious than I care to normally post on the boards too. Still though, what do you expect us to do when people full force our keeps? At least in our home BL, you do the best you can with what you have in any given situation. I think if the BLs were designed better, bigger, and enemies couldn't just get back to your keep in 30 seconds after dying... more people would be *allowed* to spread out.

Kinda sounds like you're getting tired of the effortless wins.
If you guys on JQ want more of a challenge, consider spreading out and rebalancing the servers.
As has been amply stated before, we aren't overly concerned with score. So why is it us that needs the motivational adjustment? In case anyone has forgotten, SF in particular happens to be standing in TW's shoes on JQ... And now you begin to understand why we left.

It is however very possible, even with the limit to AoE, for a small group to wipe a much bigger group.

You are both ignorant and a fool. You also seem to have a complete and lack of understanding that inability != lack of drive. Are you stupid, extremely shortsighted, or what? Please tell us, inquiring minds want to know.

Know this, up until recently, the only reason SoR has even gotten to T1 is do to drive and persistence. When a server can put up such a good showing despite having 12 hours+ a day where they ticked away at less than 100ppt (up until recent transfers) for months due to low population in those time zones, your comment and all those that follow are baseless and hollow.

So you trolling bro or are you really that big of an idiot?
