I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I heard sPvP is toxic but I have not played that. For WvW it depends on the server/commander/guild. There are certainly commander being very aggressive about getting the absolute maximum out of it but it also ranges to "just follow me so at least have a larger group".

And yeah, PvE is pretty chill. I find it fascinating time and time again at AB that it is possible to speed through it without any communication.

Sorry, AB is short for "Auric Basin". Or more specifically, its map meta event.

Edit: To elaborate there are some more map meta event short names:

spoiler

  • AB: Aurric Basin
  • DS: Dragon Storm
  • THP: Thunderhead Peaks (Keep/North; Oil/South)
  • DBS: Death Branded Shatterer

Thank you.

I remember Thunderhead Keep when Guild Wars 1 first came out. That map was the bane of everyone’s existence.
