Guild Wars 2

Hi!

I have a suggestion I would like to see some feedback on.

As paid tournaments are just for premades (and as such should avoid problems with bots, PUGs, and similar) I would suggest that Anet changes the current point-system that rewards individual actions (capping, killing, roaming etc.) to a pure team-based system that effects the amount of glory/rank earned in each game.

To still keep it interesting and reward relative performance between the teams you could base the glory/rank given to each players on each team on the relative (or accumulated) score at the end of the match.

That would let a team that really blows the competition out of the water to earn more rewards, and would also somewhat give incentive for the losing team to still push for points as it would increase there own rewards.

The goal is to really make it so that you win or lose as a team, and also get rewarded as a team. Currently different roles in a successful tPvP team gets widely different rewards in terms of glory/rank.

Of course details in this can be tweaked and discussed to no end. Like how much glory/rank? Based on score difference or individual team accumulated score? Based on average personal points in the old system? Etc etc. The part I want feedback on is if this would be a welcomed change to paid-tPvP?

Thanks!

combined glory gained by your team/5 = every1 from the team gets the same,
as they have all contributed to the win.

So in essence you would agree that in paid tPvP team based rewards would be preferable?

I would like to think that anet has already taken this into account…

I hope so and it would make me glad if they had, but I think this is something they would mention if they considered it and I haven’t come across it anywhere.

I would use that in any scenario including hot-join ones. Simply because all PvP is team effort, and as long as there will be possible to get something extra, players will look at how to farm glory instead of how to win the game.
This way everyone is rewarded. Yeah, not fair that someone will get reward for slacking while others are doing hard job.. but thats also a part of life right?

My personal opinion is that there shouldn’t be any personal reward system in PvP at all in any game, more or less (for in-game actions that is, they always seam to make players focus on “fluff” instead of just winning).

Just base rewards on wining or losing as a team.

Buuuut I didn’t want to open up that whole can of worms of a discussion

@Luxiom

well, actually im kind of old fashion gamer so i would not open any discussion and just be happy to see it implemented but thats hardly going to happend because of the all cool kids wanting their “personal” reward and show personal oppness

100% agree with this suggestion, and I also think it should work somewhat close to that in sPvP with the winning team getting a large glory/rank bonus.
This would steer people AWAY from zerg farming and circle backcapping, and into PLAYING AS A TEAM TO WIN (e.g., defending nodes, etc.)

This was also a no brainer reward in GW1, another reward system I would like to see return.

Total glory / # of players

+ bonuses

current system is fine.

Sounds like a good idea to me seeing as its a pre made team and i know my friends would like to seem me and themselves get equal points even if we were only defending points the whole game.
