Guild Wars 2

So I was thinking, I really don’t like how currently top tier players are kinda shafted by Hotjoin Heroes. So I thought of a pretty cool idea (imo) to try to reward higher end players, which is something a lot of people have been asking for. But with this idea, even that armor remains relatively exclusive and won’t flood the game like TPvP armor did once it became more mainstream.

Idea:
“Gold Rank Reward Chest”
“Silver Rank Reward Chest”
“Copper Rank Reward Chest”

So it would work like this: These chests would be automatically distributed weekly based on your current ranking.

Gold Rank Reward Chest – Rewarded to top 500 players. It would have 4-6 items ranging from Rank 50-80. This Chest could reward even rare items from those ranks.

Silver Rank Reward Chest – Rewarded to the top 501-1000 players. It would have 3-5 items from Ranks 50-70. This chest may but would RARELY have rarer items from those ranks.

Copper Rank Reward Chest – Rewarded to non 1000 top 10% (90%+) It would have 2-4 items from rank 50-70, and have mostly lower rarity items from them.

Then we’d have a chance at cool gear, we’d have to work for it, it would be relatively exclusive, since we’d each only get 1 box per week we wouldn’t have full sets of high end gear quickly. Of course this would have to wait for a better Leaderboard decay.

What do you guys think?

Sounds pimp.

But as of the last State of the Game, it’s implied that there won’t be any changes to the sPvP reward system until a massive overhaul.

I don’t like the idea of awarding players who happen to be in the top 0.5% and ignoring the rest of the 99.5% that play tournaments. So many games does this and I’m quite tired of it.

I think there should be leaderboard based titles, once someone reaches top 250 for example… or top 60%… etc.

Well, considering if you do minimal effort in tPvP you get top 60-70% handed to you, top 10% isn’t .5%.

People already care way too much about their leaderboard rank. So many players have 2 accounts already, 1 to play with their team and the other to mess around.

That’s just stupid especially considering the leaderboards hold no meaning whatsoever untill sque and tque are properly split. All it means atm is that you only play with a team/premade nothing else.

At ArenaNet, we believe that organized premades should be rewarded for stomping pugs to farm rating, because stomping pugs is awesome.

I wish it would hand me 70%, I could easily get there with a team I agree, but Solo queueing a lot you deal with a lot of stuff trying to get there. 4v5 playing with people who go afk, completely horrible players. People who don’t care and are testing bad builds or new classes.

Right now I go up or down 1% for a win or loss, and I wish I could be picky about who I play with but it is not easy finding decent groups.

Cool looking armour is not supposed to be easy to get. In PvP you need incentive. So, yes, you would need to make a team, play a lot, and strife for a high rating. That’s what e-sports are all about! Noobs that can’t play should look like noobs who can’t play! This is not PvE after all.

Have you seen the top tier players? The only time I watched a match, one was in motley pink and blue, others were in starter gear dyed brown, some were higher tier and dyed pink, others in hall of monuments. It didn’t appear to me as if they cared about the armour. If what I have read is correct, they’d prefer gems or gold.
