Guild Wars 2

This person told me I was bad because of my personal score. I told him personal score means nothing in this game, so he told me to make a forum post to get laughed at. I’m gonna link this back to him in a few hours.

Unless you have a score of 0, you’ve probably contributed something to the team. I pretty much only bunk, and on incredibly rare occasions, the game might end with me only getting 10 points for the mid cap, then bunking the point. There are occasions when getting 0 points is actually helpful to your team, for example: you fight 1v2 or 3 on the far node for the entire game, which allows your 4 teammates to easily crush their 2 or 3 and cap home and mid. Personal score is useless, and I hate that tie games are decided by which team had the highest personal score

To be honest, Arenanet should just hide the personal score for everyone but yourself, you should only be able to see stats like capture points/kills/revives and even that could just be personal info to prevent whining. Altho i think showing caps(full and and just decaps)/kills/revives etc would be more worth than the personal score

As a bunker you shouldn’t just stand on mid. If you play guardian and you only get 10 points a game you are doing something wrong.

imho personal score is actually a negative thing.
it shows you who has simply been zerging for the entire game, people who spend all of their time capping/defending points will be right down the bottom of the scoreboard but ironically will be the ones who carry the zerging morons.

thats in hotjoins anyway, in tournaments the scores should be less spaced out since more people should be focusing on objectives than mindlessly zerging.
