Guild Wars 2

Ok, this suggestion might sound a little bit radical, but, in view of the complete mess that has been done with the multiserver and also, considering the very story that gave the game it’s name:

Why not actually re-design completely WvW into actual GvG? there are three orders in the game, twist the story so there will be again a rise of guilds, three of them, and every player would be able to chose a guild – from the start or later in the game when they so choose to go to the battlefield. To avoid imbalances, make it so if a guild doesn’t have enough players then the only option would be to chose that specific guild. Give the same benefits to the winning guild (%karma, gold find, etc) and make the present WvW multiserver as well – so if one map doesn’t have enough players they would be able to switch to a map with more players.

Just a suggestion. I know it probably has some flaws but I am sure others can come with ideas that could overcome them.

out of curiousity, have you ever participated in a GvG? Or even observed one? GvGs are highly coordinated matches that require proper setup and communication. What you are proposing is completely changing an entire game mode that divides in NA, 24 servers into 8 tiers, into 3 sides. Essentially EoTM, except players get to choose a side, but not really because it autobalances with your idea. I dont understand if you feel megaserver is a mess, which Im not a fan of myself, why would you want wvw to go the same way?

Game was name based from the original lore of Guild Wars… actual Guild Wars took place a long time before the story of the first GW.

I’m all for GvG as another play mode, but not to the detriment of WvW. In GW1 guild vs guild matches were intense, fun, and incredibly worth the time and effort needed to prepare for it. GvG matches brought guildies together in a special way that is missing in GW2. The bonds I made in GvG lasted over 6 years.
