Guild Wars 2

One of the persistent complaints about hot join that I see is about uneven teams.

Similar to the bonus for volunteering for the other team when you’re evening up the teams, how about a small bonus for joining (from spectator) the under-strength team if they are behind by, say, 50 points? And either a small penalty for folks who join a team ahead by more than, say, 150 points, or a bonus to the underdogs for every person who joins while they are behind (for sticking it out)?

If you go the penalty route, it could be a delay on when they start accruing points (maybe their first 50 points don’t count).

If the bonuses were in the 25 point range, it wouldn’t be too drastic but it might nudge the teams to be more even.

Just a thought.

This would make more sense if it were posted in the pvp subforum…
