Guild Wars 2

These last few days have brought in a lot of new people for s/tPvP because of the Laurels on PvP Monthly. Putting this bit of reward in PvP brought PvEers over but its also giving us something to earn that our characters can use in PvE/WvW whereas, usually, we’re pretty much wholesale disconnected from one another.

Going forward, can we perhaps keep two separate laurel rewards on the monthlies? Reward more for the one done first and then a smaller reward for the second, like 10::5 or so, or even 10::2 if you want to be brutal about it. I realize this will “speed up” the laurel gain but it may well be for the better of PvP to grow back in population.

Keep the dailies as they are, as I’m sure people will complain about “must do PvP to compete!” but change the monthlies to the above and, give how fairly straight forward and easy the PvP monthly is, given a month, even the worst PvEers should be able to get it done.

This + leaderboards (and more expansive leaderboards) might work well to bring some incentive back to PvP. Our MMR would also have more bodies with which to work to make proper ratings… soooo, that seems good too.

I think thats a great idea, honestly. Even a 10:2 ratio could work very well.

great idea, I approve

None, just more trolls/noobs in tournaments.

I think it’s good to get people in spvp any way possible, whatever the reward might be.

I mean some of them are gonna end up hanging out more becoming regularly spvpers, some not. But in order for spvp to survive long term it certainly doesn’t hurt giving people a reason to keep showing up.

As for them being weaker players, that’s fine. Need people of all kinds. Maybe sometimes they’ll be bad and you might lose, you’ll live. Also it’s not like people that keep showing up are going to be terrible forever. It’s not like it’s some super elite activity that’s hard to pick up and play at an intermediate level.

problem with this system = pvers are forced to pvp, and vice versa
“play the game how you want”
