Due to the matchmaker we (ioj) were matched up with a pretty lopsided group of servers and have had poor fights all week so the last couple of days we decided to do some ad-hoc smaller scale 15v15 gvg fights. Fights were a blast despite bloodlust and in some had well over fourty spectators from all three servers as everyone was a bit frustrated by the matchup.
During our 5th fight an ANET rep popped in and told our opponent that what we were doing was against the rules (trading kills and going against the spirit of wvw). Some back and forth took place and while I didn’t hear the final verdict it sounded like we were allowed to continue.
I would just like to hear from someone official what anet’s stances are on these types of events. We’re hoping to get a game of banishball going where two servers attempt to get a ball (asura from third server) through a goal using nothing but guardian banish. You lose points if the ball dies on your side or if you down an opponent.
