Guild Wars 2

Hello one and all. I’m here to suggest one dramatic change to World vs World that could very well change the future of World vs World as we know it!!!!

nah not really. But i think this idea would be very well received by the public of Guild Wars 2

My idea is simple: World vs World Loot Bags have been removed from the game, in it’s place is a system that automatically puts loot that would be obtained directly into a player’s inventory.

But hey whats a suggestion without some beneficial fun facts.

1. Did you know that 20-50% of all World vs World loots bags are actually never picked up? This is either due to the fact a player was defeated or that they simply did not see that a loot bag had dropped. With this new system all this missed loot will now be automatically placed into your inventory and not rot away on the ground forever forgotten.

2. People have at times in the middle of battle have almost lost all will to fight simply because they wanted to grab all of their loot bags, regardless of whether they were winning or not. With this new system people will always feel motivated to finish the fight and possibly obtain fancy new loot.

3. Ever do spectacular in a battle in World vs World and be surrounded by loot bags only to be defeated before you could pick them up, forcing you to way-point away and leave all of that loot behind as if mocking you? Well worry not anymore, with this new system you’ll never again have to suffer the shame of way-pointing away from all of those loot bags only to know they’ll rot before you can reach them in time.

But even if this change is implemented there’s sure to be some potential downfall right? after all there’s always a flaw right?

1. People could abuse this and farm easily in World vs World. Answer to this? This would actually still happen even without this possible change.

2. Why not just take the easy route and increase the rot time on Loot bags? This I think would be a large step in the wrong direction. Reason one, is sometimes you die inside of an enemy tower or keep and I doubt they’ll let you in just to pick up your loot. Reason two, it promotes to rush back to where you died to pick up your loot rather than help your fellow teammates on the field of battle.

Over all, I think this is a much needed change and should be implemented in the future. To those that agree with me Why not respond with a simple I agree

We’ve been suggesting this since BETA stress tests, still hasn’t been implemented.

It should not be so hard to create an auto-pick code for WvWvW so that Badges of Honor in particular are going to be given to the players automatically upon lootdrop.

And an increase in Badges of Honor is also needed at that. Currently simply doing YOUR borderlands JP and the EB JP will give you more Badges of Honor then a whole day of zerging around…this seems to be a bit off balance, seeing you need high amounts, cutting down the BoH rewards on JP seems the wrong way to go, increasing the drop rate on BoH should be increased on player kills.

Yeah any time I WvW I’m crying in the back of my mind because I know I’m leaving all sorts of loot bags scattered across the scenery.

I remember one time we set up a nice ambush and I was manning an arrow cart, gleefully cackling as I rained terror upon a choke point. My eyes got wider and wider and my smile bigger and bigger as I saw a bunch of loot bags building up around me. Then I died before I could pick any of them up. Ugh… Now I could have exited the arrow cart to pick up the loot but that seemed like a selfish thing to do. Guess I need to learn to be more selfish.
