Guild Wars 2

I have this idea of a white t-shirted player running around in servers in WvW that can’t fight back in any way. Also they cannot be attacked. This is item should be a low cost gem item. There are certain servers (Fort Aspenwood) who simply will never get to be green or the same size Tarnished Coast or Dragonbrand on WvW. This greatly diminishes the gameplay/game replay value for those players. Guseting also does not fix this. As per a restriction of guesting, you will be moved back to your home server. I am a player interested in Map Completion. This is impossible with the current set up. I have even gone to great lengths to tell the other players nearby i’m not interesting in fighting. I only want the jumping puzzle or skill challenge. That still does not get me the Points of Interest.
Now one may wonder why this is important to me or anyone in general. Why per se? Well getting 100% map completion nets you an item NECESSARY for crafting Legendary Items. With out it you can’t make them at all. Now I know Arena Net thought that things would eventually balance themselves out but this is May 2013 now. The game has been running for many months now and things aren’t balancing themselves out. An item with a reasonable cost would definitely fix that. Also being able to get 100% map completion would help bring the cost down on the Black Lion Market for these Legendary Weapons. Just think of the accomplishment and pride a person has when you have so hard for this weapon you wanted. You have seen it in forums, websites, wikis for so long and now you own one. Anyone can get the crafting to 400+. Anyone can get the other materials. But getting 100% map completion? Forgetaboutit. DB and TC have love for anyone but themselves which is fine but how is it someone is supposed to get 100% map completion when your server is simply incapable.
Apparently ANet knows that there is a server population issue as far back January 2013. This is part of it. Jumping Puzzles, Points of Interest, Skill Points these all contribute to Map Completion.
If this isn’t the right idea then something needs to happen to help these players, self included, get that map completion. I am a bit of a completest, I admit. So are others. Help us please.

Thanks.

I’m not going to lie.
I’d spy on every enemy commanders movements with that.

WvW is for fighting.
Ask a commander who you know is good to take the objectives for you.
L2P and keep PvE Q_Q out of the warzone.

Spying would increase so much with this feature but I do understand the frustration of not being able to get map completion. I’ve been sitting at 99% for months and its because of only a couple points in WvW that I won’t be able to get until the server bothers to decide to change colors to the one I need, which btw hasn’t happened in months.

Suggesting that you should ask a commander who is good to get points for you is a joke. WvW shouldn’t have ever been required for map completion in the first place.

I do it all the time. Plenty of peeps ask for it.
Why wait for the server to eventually do it, when you can whisper a dude whos job it is to take it anyway and ask him to get it first.

No structure in the game is unobtainable.
Especially if you want to donate a bit of gold to the war effort
Team work.

That’s kind of a problem right there. What if you are on a server than doesn’t have teamwork or commanders that actually care what people need and the server is consistently in last place? Even if you do get a group, how long is it going to take to obtain and given structure? Maybe you get lucky and have no resistance, but usually as soon as that battle marker pops up, here come the enemy zergs to push you out. I’ve seen weeks where one server controls most of every map for days. It’s not as simple as just asking someone to take a point.

Ahem.

You can take a fully defended tier 3 SM in 3minutes.
There is no server not capable of it. All it takes is co-ordination.

Do you disbelieve the strength of chain Mesmer portalling 20 golems?
It has been done and is near enough impossible to stop until its too late.

On a more likely note.
What if what if what if.
Every server has a main commander. From tier 1 having lots down to tier 8. Theres always atleast one.
