Guild Wars 2

How does a game create a sense that you are competing against someone?
By showing you that you ARE in fact competing against someone. By showing you how well you did and how much better others have done so you have a goal to work towards, an arch nemesis – maybe several – to play against.

Currently guild wars 2 does this through score keeping via the official website, but nowhere is it satisfying enough because we have to alt-tab to a different screen to get a score that isn’t detailed enough to really show you who is actively trying to make a name for themselves.

I believe an ingame ladder for personal achievement and wvw server score keeping has been long overdue. With an ingame ladder that is tailored to rank player both server wide and world wide, local player will be more inclined to pvp and see how well they do against others of the same server, and their places in the world.

With a ingame scoreboard that is designed to keep the total amount of point each server has amassed, more player will be able to see where their server is, and perhaps, they might feel more inclined to participate in wvw.

Dear Anet, please consider implanting this feature asap, as it doesn’t break anyone’s game, nor does it bring any form of imbalance. An ingame ladder can only be benefitial to the community (or specifically pvp community), and it also encourages players to pvp. Thanks!
