Guild Wars 2

I’m fairly new to pvp. Recently I’ve been doing spvp quite a lot, but don’t really know how I’m doing. Quite often, when my team wins I am about mid to low in in points compared to everyone else. When my team loses, I often have the most points. Not always the case, but it seems this way pretty often. Does this mean anything? Are points even a good indicator?

Unfortunately, since we can’t see our MMR we all have no clue how we are doing.

They are an indicator, but not a good one.

Thanks for the response. Looked through other posts on pvp forums and learned a bit more. Using that and your answer I got a much better idea of how it works. Didn’t have much time to test it out, but in the few matches I’ve done since posting I no longer waited around for points to be captured. I’m not getting as many points as before, but… I’m on the winning team more. Now maybe it’s just luck or a change to build, but pretty sure this letting one person capture once enemies are gone is helping a lot. Thanks again.

Definitely. Since Conquest mode is 5v5 fighting over 3 capture points and secondary objects, the team more likely to win is the one that most effectively spreads its players. Having 2 people cap a point without any enemies around is a waste of 20% of your team. You are better off elsewhere.
