Guild Wars 2

i do not know if the amount of points that are handed out need to change to make this work. you get personal points from killing,capping,decapping and holding a point while you stand on point. you must reach a certain amount of personal points to get a pip in the match.doing this will make it more skill based and not hoping team mates know what they are doing. slowly but surely the good players will always advance no matter what kind of team they are in. the bad or not so good players will be left behind .this will also fix the problem of people not fighting on point or zerging because they will learn or just not advance. at some level every match will be good because no one was carried threw the ranks and people will never have to wonder if a team mate is good or not. also it will help players see what they are good at whether its capping decapping holding point or killing and what needs work.

No thank you, sometimes the best option to win a game is not to get personal score.

Otherwise, everyone will cap home for the points. No one would defend. Just bad incentives all round.

Depends on how points are given really.

if people just stood at home they would never get enough points to get a pip

I think you misunderstand me, and your point goes towards why I don’t think points should be used for pips.

At the start if the match, the usual split involves one person heading for home. If people cared about points, then they would 5 cap home for the points. People would also refuse to leave points until they were capped, despite that only one person needs to be on the point.

Also, defending is usually vital to winning a match. But it is worth comparatively fewer points than capping or fighting on a contested point.

I feel like your proposed system would end up being a self fulfilling prophecy: players would focus on individual points, rather than winning the match, thus necessitating the need for individual points. I’d rather just keep it to winning the match.

You must be new if you think the scoring system in this game matters.
