Guild Wars 2

By points system I mean the 10-15 points that you get each time you cap/kill/res/etc.

It should be removed because it seems to give newer players the impression that it’s a good thing to have as many points as possible, often leading them to go 3 people at a time to cap the close point at the beginning of games, leading the team to a huge disavantage because there’s not going to be enough people at mid, etc.

I know this is probably not an issue on higher ranks but I honestly get these type of things like 1 game out of 3, and it’s annoying because it’s such a stupid mistake that makes the game so much harder to win.

Maybe removing those points is not the best idea, but at least making them less visible would be beneficial.

Scoreboard is actually useful if a tie happens between the teams…
But yeah it’s incredibly flawed and reward way too much agressive play, which leads to horror such as multi-capping or fighting off points.

Maybe add something like the first one who start the cap gets the point and that if you’re outside of x radius of the cap, you get no point for killing someone.
Beasts should lead to less points reward, etc.

Just advance in tiers and you won’t need to worry about the newer players. If you are referring to hot join, who cares? People just go there to mess around. You can’t expect good games there.

Oh yeah I forgot that tie thing.. Just removing the big yellow number that you see when you get the points would help alot imo. Because right now it’s like : hey look at that big number! I need as much of those points as possible!

And that’s just not how the game works.

wasn’t referring to hot joins. Saying just move in ranks doesn’t really help. It still gives newer pvp players a bad view of how the game should be played. And it could be avoided very easily.
