Guild Wars 2

That is what I was implying….

The solution is not for me “to make it fun”. That is not my job. ANet devs get paid to make WvW fun.

… and yet you advocate Arenanet changing the game to favour you.

If I strip away all the sarcasm, what I’m really advocating is for ANet to swap out some carrots and sticks:

• Make Gift of Battle attainable in some other way.

Opt out with gold by making GoB tradeable. Or make a separate GoB recipe in the Forge that requires Memory of Battle, since there is already the Gift of War that requires them. This gives profit to committed WvW players and provides an alternative to absurdly boring gameplay.

• Replicate Proof of Heroics for PvE maps

Similar to Proof of Heroics for completing random hero challenges, perhaps ANet should allow WvW players some opportunity to gain world completion with a similar item for POIs and Vistas and Hearts. Heck, WvW might get a population boost just by making the rep-heart grind less hateful. (I’m less sure about using that for waypoints. That’d be a little too convenient.) But that means WvW players can stay in their preferred mode by taking the relevant reward tracks.

Any salt and sauciness comes from the rather uninviting attitude problems that spring up when such suggestions get made. Or any suggestions, honestly.
