Guild Wars 2

After single-handedly freeing a contested wp it was ‘contested’ 1/2 hour later.
Now seeing how ‘time flies by’ whilst playing any game let alone this one, it felt like only 5 mins had pased by and in reality there are not enough players who bother with them so as a result 99% of contestable wp’s in Melachor’s leap (this probabely goes for all the other 70+ maps) are always contested and it really seem pointless to do anything about them as you know if just isn’t worth the time or effort to free them, as by the time you go to do something else it’s ‘oh look it’s contested again -.-’.

Please extend the time beween them getting re-contested to a more sensible time, I would suggest at least 2 hrs (and even that time will fly by) at least as this would give players time to do other stuff and it might actually be worth taking them back if you knew you would at least be able to use them for a bit.

2 hours for a 300 karma event that rewards you 1.5 silver?
Riiiiiiight

Bad idea, 2hrs would be way to much. Some of the events are on a little to short cooldown, but half an hour is absolutely acceptable.

what if the timers scaled with the number of players in the zone?

This basically means if a person is leveling in a low-mid level area that is empty will have no events to actually help him level up or gain rewards

‘All the time’ contested WP, a reason why it would be
nice with mounts, since obviously all the rest of the people
that replied in here(at this point) are event freaks/farmers.

They could up the karma/coin for the wp’s as there are still alot of other DE going on and they could always add more if needs be or how about they reduce the time on non- wp events to make up.

@DragonMind
If event freak/farmers thought contested wps were really worth doing for the karma/coin even at the current 1/2 hr interval then why are there not more players doing them? And I rarely see the 2 other DE’s near where I am ever done so I guess those are not worth doing either.
Only time some Wp’s might get re-claimed is as some-one passes through on their way to a Vista, SP or POI but generally no-one hangs around to reclaim the wps, they just grab them and go for 100% map completion.
In all the same conested wp could be taken roughly 46-48 in one day but in reality it’s closer to 16 (if as high as that).
