Guild Wars 2

Hi All,

I would like to discuss an idea to improve incentives in WvW to make it more even.

Currently there is not a great incentive for the two weaker servers to attack the winner server. it is more dangerous and more likely to end in a repair bill.

Currently, the out-manned buff is pretty useless and not really an incentive to fight to take on the larger and more powerful server.

Instead, in order to encourage smaller, lower score forces to take the on the larger force make is so that taking their keeps and camps is worth more. Give the bonus for attacking the winning army. Give a risk vs reward scenario where you get a real reward from taking on the stronger server rather than squabbling for second place.

Change the outmanned buff on a map to the old orb bonus. Again this means that a smaller server can invade the stronger server’s borderlands and still be in a good position even if outnumbered. Force the top server to work harder and defend more to stay on top.

At the moment, the way the system works it only encourages a squabble for second place and increases snowballing by the strongest server.
