PVP league removal from WVW nameplates
If I had to guess, it would be visual clutter when it becomes zerg vs zerg for players.
But I’m just guessing, I could be wrong.
Another reason could be people from the other servers seeking out others that have high/low ranking in zerg fights. If someone’s high rank in pvp and wvw, they’re more likely to be a driver, and should probably be taken down first.

I’d like to see them removed from PvE too, or at least give us an option to turn them off in any game mode not exclusively league tournament PvP. WvW has ranks and your league rating has no bearing there so having it not show up reduces the name plate clutter; more so if your server has a very long name.
Good chance IMO, but I would have preferred an off/on switch so as to keep everyone happy.
I’m curious, why exactly was this done?
Your PVP league rank is now not shown in either pvp mode – Spvp(ranked only? Not sure) and WVW. It’s now only shown in PvE.
Why exactly? Shouldn’t you be able to show off your pvp prestige INSIDE of pvp modes? That makes no sense to me. I can’t exactly wrap my head around this change.s

This is intentional. We made the change to help with nameplate visual clutter in WvW.

Good luck.
