Guild Wars 2

As per title..

This is a suggestion related to the rollbacks that happen to the servers, why not make it so if a server/servers get a rollback then the server/servers get a boost in everything (XP, money, karma, tokens etc) for the same duration as the rollback.

So if a server is rolled back 3 hours then every player on that server gets a boost for 3 hours when they next log in (rollback 2 hours = 2 hours boost etc), or every player on the server gets a set of the boosters (the ones in the store) free with an amount up to the time (so for 3 hours roll back you’d get 3 of each hour long booster).

Add to this, it would be nice to at least have a message when we log in telling us we got rolled back, a simple “sorry there was an issue and we had to do a rollback” would be reasonable, instead of finding out for ourselfs (or even not noticing what we’ve lost).

I’m sure some people may think it doesn’t matter all that much, but the fact is people loose time and effort and items when this happens, and so far nothing is given in retrun. What i’m suggesting is a simple and easy fix for when/if a roll back happens and it easily makes up for what is lost.

Why not spend dev time and energy fixing things so that rollbacks don’t ever have to happen?

Well this kinda ties to that, if they make it so roll backs don’t happen then they don’t have to do it anymore. However roll backs are happening and as such players should see something in return for what they loose and this is a pretty simple fix for that.

And i’m pretty sure there are different teams that could do this, the team that fixes things fixes the servers, the team that mans the gem store etc could issue out the boosts.

So if I transfer to a server that rolled back, I get boosts? Do you know how many people would try and exploit that? Even if there were safeguards in place, the raw number of tickets people would send in would flood over the actual important ones.
