Guild Wars 2

I would like to suggest that either a “fee” be required to claim locations for guilds, or that Commanders are allowed to remove claims on non upgraded locations.

The “fee” should be something like the total amout to upgrade at least the entire first tier, if not the second too. The “fee” should also actually go to the physical upgrades and not as a “no reward” money sink.

If the “fee” aspect isn’t what people like, how about allowing Commanders the right to unclaim the places not upgraded so guilds that actually research WvW upgrades and use them can.

I’ve gone into WvW quite a few times to find everything claimed and less than half actually had a single upgrade.

Just some thoughts.

Well, I think ANet should just do something (I’ll write in detail what soon) to stop ninja-claiming the fortifications someone else worked so hard for.

This could be done by a point system:
A) The larger % of your online guild is at the location, the better factor you have (To make it fare for smaller guilds)

B) Guilds get points for people attacking the keep, more so for every blueprint a guild member lays down in the range of the keep. (The range that used blueprint can damage the keep) and points for using resources for the blueprints as well as points for killing enemies in the keep or in the immediate vicinity of the keep.

C) A guild gets extra points if they have an active commander leading the assault on the fortification.

D) Factor*(B-points + C-points) = total points. Every guild in top 5 has the first dips to claim the fortification. If they do not claim the fortification within 5 minutes from it becoming claimable, it’s free game.

That would ensure that guilds who worked hard on attacking a spot, have first dips on the spot, since they are most likely the ones who want to keep those spots. (With few exceptions. I’ve seen a few large zerg guilds who do nothing but attack attack and attack. Then wonder why we still only hold half the map when they don’t defend. at. all.)
