Guild Wars 2

I would like Ranks from WvW, or a similar different idea, to be in PvE. PvE has many fun activities and for me I think having a ranking system would help a lot. It is progression without the gear grind. If I am rank 100 in WvW, you see a name and know ruffly how much time I have spent there. So why not add a system like this for PvE?

I see it as wouldn’t it be nice to get some “PvEexp”? (not levels, as skill points are useless and who cares about leveling once you hit 80) for doing all those activities you enjoy? PvP even has this with it’s glory, letting them unlock skins, however for PvE I think a system which better showed off what you did the most would be fun. Something like, if you go around Orr a lot, a rank or something that displayed to others how much time you have spent doing that. Or maybe a more simple rank system like that one in WvW where time spent in the game no matter what you do, gives you ranks and titles and names to go with it. If someone had spent 1000 hours in a dungeon he/she would have the same name as the other guy who only farmed champs; but as long as they both spent about the same amount of time and earned about the same exp they could display that rank or name to show off what they achieved.

Just something I thought about today and wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this? Maybe you hate the idea of ranks, letting others know you have spent such little time in the game? It could have effects such as when forming dungeons groups out side of a guild, but on the other hand we sort of have this with achievement points don’t we? Yet WvW has achievement points and ranks, so maybe there is room for both?

I don’t see the point of having “ranks” in PvE, I think levels are basically just that, and Achievement points already fill the function you’re asking for, which is showing off how much you’ve been playing the game. But I do think it would be nice with a system like the WvW “talents” in PvE. You’re saying skill points are useless right now which I don’t agree with either, but there should be more to spend it on than there is right now. Why not use Skill Points for PvE “talents” that maybe for example makes your character gather materials faster or something.
