Greens Daily Ritual.9025

Mag Swag was a moniker Maguuma players gave themselves because they thought they were special. (They weren't).

I don't care what you want to call it, being placed on a "shard" (server) where I do not know one single person is a change I didn't want or ask for. There seems to be somewhat of a split between player experiences in this "BETA". Either they like the new setup and most of their guild was put on the same server, or they were one of the unfortunate ones randomly placed in a server with no one they know. I never cared for the blobbing play style and over the years, I started caring less and less about PPT or server score and enjoyed playing with the people I have gotten to know over the years. One thing I do know is that regardless of what I do, the friendly community I have been a part of for the last 7+ years will be fragmented to a fraction of what it once was. It's ironic that you blame the players for being uninformed when Anet has virtually done nothing to communicate what they're doing with the player base. Same old song and dance.

Casuals? I play EVERY SINGLE DAY and they did next to nothing to let people know they needed to make a choice. I've been discussing this with people on our server for as long as anyone else has, so please spare me the "casuals" horse feces and other disparaging remarks. They make more effort to let you know there's new items in the Gem Store and virtually everything else except this Beta. Not even a blanket in-game email alerting people they need to take action. This is not the player's fault, so stop trying to blame them for something that has basically been kept a secret.

I wasn't aware they were implementing an Alliance BETA until I logged in for Friday reset like I always do. I had talked to one of our original server leaders and asked to be invited to their guild in anticipation of the "Alliances" weeks ago. I didn't see any announcements when logging into the game and I didn't see anything on Wiki explaining this. I was banned from the forums for years, until recently. The only reason I am here now is to find info I can't find anywhere else. I couldn't find one single person from the guild OR server I was on. The friendships and allegiance I have forged with fellow server mates is primarily what keeps me playing. If this is the future of WvW, it's probably the end of me playing it. There are many other games I could play if I wanted to play alone.

Not even close... There might be a few, but most of FA is players that have been there for years.
