Guild Wars 2

Hello,

A common complain in WvW is about servers that conquer entire borderlands on the late nights/early morning, when most of WvW is depopulated. Of course, it is a valid strategy but since the distribution of points is homogeneous during the entire day, a few dedicated ’night-shifters’ can heavily influence the WvW score. To minimize this effect, I’d suggest to:

- throttle the clock for WvW server points according to the time of the day.

The result would be that peak hours (i.e. times of the day that most players are online) would contribute more for the general WvW server score than non-peak hours. And all players could ideally influence equally on the total score, no matter what time they play. Naturally, Anet knows the total distribution of players in WvW according to the time of the day on EU and US servers, and that would not be difficult to implement.

In my opinion that would be a win-win for all. Night-shifters would still be able to cap entire maps and get their rewards accordingly, but their influence on the total server score would be minimized - and other players would not be dishearten to find out that the gap on the server scored had quadrupled over night.

Please, read this as an initial idea. I’d love to have it discussed.
