Guild Wars 2

This is just bad and shouldn’t happen. Every decent player in the game knows every single stat is pointless in this game. We shouldn’t encourage people to have bad gameplay just so they get a top stat.

Time for fullcapping theifs to get more mmr than players.

pips =/= mmr anymore,

Evan Lesh.3295:

Have you checked out the list of new stats?

To clarify how this works: a win is worth 10 pips and getting ANY amount of top stats gives 1 more.

Deaths;

So are these extra pips only awarded to players with top stats on the winning team then?

Each team gets their own top stats.

Rip. If the extra pips were only a thing for the winning team I don’t think anyone would go after them to the extent of hurting their teams chances of winning, but if you can get them on the losing team as well I could totally see some idiots out there trying it.

where are these patch notes?

There aren’t any patch notes yet duster. Wont be until we get the patch next Tuesday. They dont release them early.

Do you really think people will give up what’s best to win the actual game for one more chest with a bit of green loot?

Working for a top stats pip at the expense of winning the match will cost you 9 kitten pips. Do you really think people will try to farm it like this? Consider now that winning a match gives 10 pips and how much they have rescaled it so that we can’t get the chest after a mere couple wins.

People always panic at everything Anet says and this one is specially funny. So instead of playing 5vs5 you believe people are going to play 1vs9 and compete against their own team in order to get 10% of what they could get in a single match? Besides, the top stats are even less certain of getting per match than the victory is, since you can’t really keep your own teammates from overtrolling you and sabotaging your attempt.

This might be a thing for like the couple hours after patch is up but people will soon realize the very first thing Evans must have thought was how to make the winning team actually win more rewards, i.e, what you get for losing are scraps, which are very important so you have motivation to keep trying, but are not farmable at all. (Actually it was probably second thing he thought because programmers usually start stuff with “Wow this is going to take a lot of kitten work to code”).

Any decent player or maybe any player in their right mind would not farm pips this way. If you are playing rank anyways i would assume that you would have the decency not to do this.
