Guild Wars 2

I would like to see Commanders be given the opportunity to submit the names of people under their direction who have fought selflessly and bravely to the extent where they could nominate those members for MEDALS in WvW and other forms of PvP.

To keep the system fair and to prevent abuse, a system could be implemented where other players nominate the players they see and if a quota (3 nominations by separate Guild members ?) were obtained the medal would be awarded. Other safety measures could be put into place so as to remove as much of the political abuse as possible. It could be done and would make WvW and PvP freaking awesome.

These MEDALS could fill the spectrum of actual Real World Medals such as the Bronze Star, the Silver Star to the Medal of Honor and commensurate benefits would be available to the recipient of such an award. I would even like to see an automatic Commander medal be given to a nominee for winning a Medal of Honor.

I think this would give WvW, PvP and SPvP a lot more prestige and I don’t know about anyone else, it would make me play harder and give a more substantial meaning to winning in a battle.

How about they give regular players the option to give good commanders medals instead? That way we can tell who’s serious and who’s just a tag junkie. More elements to PvP would be nice though, as long as it doesn’t give players unfair advantages over others. One thing this game should never deviate from is the fact that PvP requires skill more than stats.

Too easy exploitable.

If this was enabled, what is stopping a large PvE guild from rounding up their hundred or so players and commending each other?

Vol, im not even a computer programmer but I could write code in BASIC to eliminate the problem you speak of.
