Maguuma WvW

They like to verbally rough house with each other. I'm surprised you haven't learned that if you've been there for a year. I've only been on Mag about 3 months and I know it.

Think of it as a bunch of guys calling each other names and shoving each other around but they're all friends. Most of the time, the trolling is jokes and it only gets serious if the person being trolled takes it seriously.

Also, Maguuma got bandwagoned hard. There are perfectly acceptable reasons to be upset about scouting and defending. Some people want to stay in a certain tier. Protecting score can have a negative impact by causing the server to move up when they don't want to. A lot of the Maguuma veterans care very little about score. I know plenty of commanders that will open towers just so they can farm the people who try to defend - they won't try to kill the tower lord at all.

Basically though, those native to Maguuma don't care about score, they care about fights. They don't care about their image, just about joking around with each other. They don't like bandwagoners so they try to scare them off. They just want to keep their community and I understand that. But ever since it got heaps of transfers, it's not the same anymore. Having been here only 3 months and having moved before the influx of players, I can very much see the difference in quality and community. I've personally never cared much for score myself and it's a big part of the reason I came to Mag but I probably won't be staying at this point. Not a fan of waiting in 80 person Q's every night to get on to a typical T1 quality map where people bitch for an hour if we lose SMC.
