Guild Wars 2

Keep everything that it already has. Players with outnumbered no longer drop loot bags for opposing players. On maps when you have the outnumbered your structures and worth 1/2 their original ppt. So your bl or your servers corner of EB

What do you guys think?

Not sure about the 1/2 ppt… it would be open to griefing, like, we abandon the map leaving just 1-2 players to get outnumbered, instead of defending, so that ennemy does not get ppt…
been stated numerous times outnumbered was not better to avoid any “go away, we are not outnumbered anymore” king of thing…

well letting all your structures get taken means you have no ppt anyway. It would lessen the run away points spread some. If your the weaker server in the match up it gives incentive for the 2 stronger servers to fight each other. Rather than stomping the weaker server.

Free golems… they should just give players free Omegas… problem solved.

PPT, you can do on another map, while the foe is on yours…

Sometimes, we try to defend out of spite, knowing we will not hold the position, but defending it out of respect for fellow players who upgraded the structures during daytime…
We lose PPT while defending upped structures (loosing the paper ones)
We would get even more PPT not defending at all, and having incitations to not defend (as a way to deny points to foes)…

The no bags part is a good idea imho. But the lesser PPT part is problematic. Jocksy.3415 has already ecplained why.

One could also maybe lessen the ammount of WXP you get from killing an outnumbered character. Also NPCs belonging to the outnumbered server on the map should grant half the WXP. That and the no bags part would make it more attractive for the server stronger in numbers to change map and thus give the outnumbered guys a chance to take get some stuff back… of course that would only be temporary. But that is at this point common in WvW.

you know whats funny?
having the outnumbered buff and just soloing against 20 people for fun, only to have a guild come through right as you die, so the armor gets damaged.
lol
