why not just reduce the price of the gift to 100 and the mist forge weapons to 200 before Tuesday so that everyone can buy at least one and the 1st through 3rd place get 2 weapons (1st gets an extra normal weapon for later).
This current design just validates why so many people jumped servers. these tournament shouldn’t be about gaming better rewards but actually fighting for the servers design. don’t disregard those that bother to stay with their servers even if they might be mid to low tiers.
I genuine don’t care about the weapon skin, but the above is just the right thing to do. I’m in an almost empty server wvwwise, and I can tell that all the players whom I witnessed fighting really hard, despite having inferior numbers almost all the time, deserve a nice reward. Especially SoR guys. I know that if I were in those guys shoes, I would never ever set foot on WvW this season.
The way it is right now, this reward is just bs.
I’d like to support this, as someone on a Top Server (500 tickets), i feel like everyone should be able to get at least one Mistforged Weapon, the current way this was planned is pretty bad, we go back to the same problem as in PvP, if i want to make a legendary weapon there’s no way i’m gonna play sPvP at all, because the rewards (which are better than nothing) and still pretty terrible, so once again i feel forced to do something because there’s no way i can farm doing what i like to get to my goal, unless i want to spend a year(s) of my life to get a single virtual item, no.
I could be more patient, until we come to the part i’m forced to do something else if i have a goal set such a legend, so i get frustrated and this is not appealing, i feel like GW2 has turned into something that forces us to do X over and over while Y and Z were put to the side.
Same thing happens with these decisions, people on low rank servers are already frustrated by getting conquered by others and there’s not much they can do, so they are thrown deeper into the abyss because they can’t even get one single Weapon Mistforged weapon, there’s already the frustration of losing and then Anet gives them potatoes to make them more frustrated, i don’t know, but i’m pretty sure a lot of people won’t be pleased with this.
ANet you wanted people not to abuse WvW by moving around the servers, so you introduced rewards that only better servers can actually get them, what does this mean? Yes, people will move around again, same thing all over again.
I don’t know anymore what to think, but i’m pretty sure a lot of people aren’t pleased at all with the lack of communication from Anet and the lack of fixing issues that are still here since day 1, which i don’t think we need to beat a dead horse all over again, but think about how much frustration you give those poor people on low rank servers, there’s this new popular MMO that people have been talking about, i’m pretty sure a lot will move over, and this is a really bad thing, i love this game, as much as i loved GW1, but GW2 lacks so much and you keep frustrating people, this isn’t appealing to make people keep playing at all.
The idea of making the Gift of Heroes cost 100 Tickets seems a great idea, or you can give everyone a Mistforged weapon of their choice on June 3rd and also the tickets.
Sorry for the long post, and somewhat rant, but if there’s rant it means people are frustrated, please think about this, thank you for your time.
It’s a difference between winners getting 5+ weapons and losing servers getting 1 or 2, versus having to wait several more months, and then grind the whole achievement thing again to get one. (presuming that current skins would not be upgraded to newer other skins)
