The march of the Golems! A major problem with WvW

Haha cool idea but incredibly impractical. A few scouts and a couple ballistae would decimate this army

Funny how most people do not appear to know that auction house is game-wide rather then server-wide. You could be purchasing gold from people you're about to assrape with your golem army, and neither of you would ever know, as you don't get to see who you bought from/sold to.

Not broken. just one of those crazy things a server will do when they are already dominating and have nothing better to do. Even if you could somehow juggle the supply to initiate this march under normal conditions at best you'd be able to take over 1 underprepared keep. After that initial ROFL stomp your foes on the map would know its comeing. A few balista and that amazing army is so much scrap. Heck its not even that fast of a keep takeover. a team could run up and drop 20 rams on the door at once and produce a comperable gate melting effect for a fraction of the supply and gold. Even more telling is the 100 man zerg would have reached that keep, broken the doors and taken over and been off banging on the next keep before that golem army even arrived.

We recognize and readily admit that this isn't a real viable strategy. We just had a ton of gold and were trying to come up with creative, fun ways to spend it

It's slightly depressing that an amusing video about a funny but not exactly viable (due to cost and ease of counter) has people shouting about balance. >.<

The march of the Golems! It's very funny to see this video but, it show a major problem with WvW. Domination of the map can be done very easily if your server has a lot of gold. Pay to win, with people converting real money into gems for gold.

i thort same thing got a bit worried that it may be to easy but some of the posts on the video said it wasnt worth it cos it was too expensive?

Money didn't get us domination of the map. We dominated the map hardly spending any money. We were matched up against servers with lower interest in WvW (the server-matching system was broken and ANet have said they are working on it). After we had dominated all day we spent a ton of money generated through the Trading Post on golems for lack of anything better to do. We would have prefered to fight an equal opponent that evening but had 90% of the maps already captured.
