Guild Wars 2

tl;dr version: free tourney rewards are utterly crap , so it slows down more teams from joining paids tournaments.

Okay so the problem is that you need to wait waaay to long to get a paid tourney pop when compared to that free tourneys pop almost instant although the reward for winning them is really not worth of the effort and why is that you ask me ?

Well it’s beacause you need to win at least 5 times free tourney to be able to join paid tournament , im skipping right now random ticket rewards and dailies.

The paid tourney population needs to increase , as atm it’s very small to do that we should just increase the rewards for winning free it has no down points and the positives are:

-people will actually be motivated to do free’s for worthy rewards
-paid population will increase beacause it will be easier to get to paids

what is my proposal for winning free ? let’s say 50 gems 5 tickets nd some glory.

would really help to improve queue time for paids and increase competition with more active teams starting to play like this

The current monetization model for PvP is extremely shortsighted considering the shrinking playerbase and glaring retention problems. Instead of putting their hands in tPvPers’ pockets, ArenaNet should incentivise sPvPers to form new teams and join free tournaments. Either that or reduce entry for paid tournaments.

the spvp to tournament sounds interesting, so many servers filled in spvp, if they would join free/ be interested in paid it would be nice.
but first of all how u going make that happen?
i think the main problem there isn’t many 5v5 paid teams is because people can’t find the people in their Own server.
the atmosphere in this game is… no talk in /m or /s
make people join a certain channel where all people are interested in a paid Team. from over all servers. and when all that happends. make a ladder.
