Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

First of all, i’m pretty sure that a lot are going to disagree with this idea. But please read it out and think about it in terms of fairness.

I personally think that people that have a higher WvW rank, should get a certain benefit in a queue. This may be; getting popped in the middle of the list of your rank is above a certain level, or when you queue, everytime someone joins wvw you do not shift one place up queue, but 2.

Reason for this; i believe i have a decent wvw rank and i spend 90% of my time there. However, after patches and with the start of the season i get in longish queues (even in our silver league server). This is all due to pve players trying to join wvw. Obviously all fine with me, but i do think it’s unfair that those that fight for their server every day, will have to wait cause some glorious pve-ers want some achievement points.

I would love it if arenanet came up with a system for this. It would also provoke new people to not instantly move to the highest ranks servers, but split out more equally.

I understand where you’re coming from, but I too spend most of my time in wvw and I often play my alts, so my ranks won’t reflect the time I’ve put in. I don’t want this adopted because it’ll punish people with alts (like me.)

The main issue with this is guilds.

Myself being in a WvW guild I could see rather big problems with getting the whole guild in together to do events if we had newbies with us. They would simply have to wait in line much longer than our senior members which would make organizing events quite hard.

You’ll also make it so that new players or WvW players who have low ranking alts can’t join. The achievements that the PvE players are going for almost all directly help the server. The only exceptions I saw being the jumping puzzle ones.

Perfectly what Sitkaz said. With character bound WvW ranks this wouldn’t work. Why not even be able to buy Priority tickets (which put you on the top of the queue) for real money then?

Yeah, this is a big no go for me. I agree with all the other replies.

How is a new player (or even new alt) supposed to obtain a higher level, if they don’t get a fair amount of play time? Letting higher ranks have priority in queue only allows higher level players to become even higher, and prevent lower levels from ever being able to obtain a higher level therefore leaving them perpetually low on the list.

I actually don’t have a problem with the idea of a Priority ticket, as long as it was for gems only.

no i disagree. i think pve players should have as much rights to get into wvw as we do. not everyone with a high rank= useful in wvw. im on fa and yes some people were stuck in queue for 30min-1hour (eb and fabl), but we all got in and we all are having a blast.

dont forget that its reset weekend, so there is always more people on than during the week.

Disagree, if you point the finger at pve players do to achivements look to getting those achievements removed. Don’t look to making it difficult for others to play.

If the queue time is such a big issue for you transfer servers (which is what caused the queue times in the first place, everyone transferred to the top few servers)

well, this suggestion is mainly a response to the announcement there will be a new map which will allow people in queue to fight, however the point do not count toward world score. Further, i never said all pve players should be put last, i just mean give a LITTLE benefit to wvw players over pvers so that wvwers just dont feel left out so much when a new feature comes in and you happen to have a bit slower internet speed to dload the patch…
