So I'm back on the Guild Wars 2, somehow. I don't know. These things just happen to people. I don't question it anymore.
I'm trying the "World Vs World" PVP mode because it has interesting looking armor and I'd like some. So me not really knowing what to do, I pick the blue team because it's called the Moogooloos and set about free-roaming aimlessly. Eventually I find some dude and decide safety in numbers, so I follow him. We engage in the time-honored ritual of jumping up and down at each other to acknowledge one's presence, so I know it's okay to follow them.
We bump into some red people, shoot them a while, win.
Run around a lot.
Eventually he stops.
I stop.
He dismounts. I don't have a mount.
We sneak carefully up a hill and around a corner of a wall.
We approach a control point. I go into sniper mode, he pulls out a couple axes.
We rush the point.
Nothing happens.
"hold on." he types in chat. "this is our camp."
"in my defense" he continues, "I am colorblind."
[story ends]
EPILOGUE:
While we were laughing at that, a bunch of dudes showed up and ganked us. Thus is life in PvP.
