Guild Wars 2

This is a good way for the servers in these lists to get rid of skin-hunters and role-players, good for them.

And they will, (if they still have achievements to do) fill the ques of the servers not on this list.

this is awful, what you’re doing is actually making it that people WON’T come to transfer to these servers.

It’s saying “These people won’t be getting the weapon.” then you say “you have 8 weeks to recruit, etc.”

But you’re not helping us recruit with your post.

You seriously think Blobaddon will finish sixth in EU Silver? Have they lost loads of guilds or something?

Faced the blob servers once all i can say is they can win at will, good for them they are stacked on other server, they are all nothing special if dont stack in one megablob to take a group thats less than 1/3 of them….

IMO there are far more important things than win a skin , as the sense of cuminity that is being kinda destroyed with this megablob pve merge and its the true enemy at the momment.

This list is non-sense

1) Most leagues will not have an 5th nor a 6th at the end.
There will be a single 1st
There will be two 2nd
There will be three 4th
There will be one to two 7th
There will be one 9th or two 8th.

2) There is an up and down in T2, and you have to consider if a week is even or odd.
(The ones that win the odd weaks get more tickets, than the ones that win the even weeks.), Beside NA-Gold (only 6 teams), all leagues are like:
One of the two 2nd of this week will be 4th next week.
One of the three 4th of this week will be 2nd next week.
One of the three 4th this week will be 7th next week.
If you are 7th this week you will be 4th next week.

3) For most leagues only the 8th and 9th round decide who will be 2nd and who will be 8th.

4) Last but no least: It’s to late to change your ticket-giving world, if you played and haven’t transfered already in the league: 4 weeks have passed, if you transfer NOW you will be blocked 5th and 6th round, leaving only 7-9 i.e. 3 round in WvW on your new world.

A ticket-hunter trying to understand WvW?

Don’t under estimate Kaineng. We have a chance, just no one gives us credit…

No, the list is not non-sense, because we can predict Final rankings based on current point totals and ELO rating or overall performance. ELO rating will break ties so having three 4ths is non-sense.

Look yourself: https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/ ANet did not break ties in their leaderbord. Glicko (Glicko-2 to be precise, not ELO) is only used to break ties in Match/Color assignment.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/get-ready-for-wvw-spring-tournament-2014/

Who knows what they will do, but I think there are 3 strong indicators that they will not break ties:
- They did not break ties in league 1
- The reference to Glicko is only in the match-making section not in the reward section. (and for matchmaking breaking the ties is unavoidable.)
- Their leader board lists two on place 2) and three on place 4), why should they break ties in the end, if they do not in their league-info page?

Beside these indicators there is even a strong argument for not breaking ties:
It does not cost them a penny to give out more due to ties, but it will generate a kitten-storm on the forum (including rage-quits), if they do break ties.

Isaac.6041:

They listed prizes for 1st through 9th places

There will be leagues with someone on place 9. (after 3 on place 4, the next will be on place 7 not on 5). I think they did not though enough about swiss-tournament in leagues with only 9 servers to notice, that 4-6 will most likely be tied

Chicken little tears.

These are good reasons. Especially their precedent from the last tournament.

It does not cost them a penny to give out a few hundred tickets more due to ties, but it will generate a kitten-storm on the forum (including rage-quits), if they do break ties.

Not so sure about these reasons. If they give fewer tickets, they probably predict more people for the third tournament. As for generating rage in the WvW community/forums, I seriously doubt they care.

No, you do not… You barely beat EBay, and your being rolled over by DR and FC, which are the servers directly above you (Since you’ll never face AR).

But at least you’ll be tied with FC in overall score… Unless you beat them or lose to EBay/ET.

Now for you little skin hunters ‘stuck’ on these servers:

Grow a pair, and fight for your rewards! If most of you would actually put up a fight instead of letting everyone else do the work for you, you problably would have a better chance of getting better rewards… You put yourself in this position, and you have no right to complain about it

This list is good for exactly the reason you gave, it shows people where not to transfer. Obviously since Anet does not care about stacked servers we should stack servers. This probably sounds like sarcasm, but I strongly urge anybody in a server on this list to transfer now before its too late to get your max rewards don’t get stuck on crap low tier gg servers.

Not too pleased with our server results, but it’s not going to PREVENT getting the mistforged skin…just means I’ll be making two in the mystic toilet with my 275 points, rather than buying one/making 3 with 300.

@Isaac: It’s hard to believe you anything, if you build your opinion as you are arguing:
Say something again (that was already refuted above) about one of the many things that speak against your opinion, ignore the rest, and conclude your right, isn’t a serious argumentation

You didn’t refute anything. I showed you ArenaNet posted in their news section that they will be awarding prizes for 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th.

Of course they had to publish a price for every possible rank, because it can happen that there is a single 5th, e.g. in NA-Gold.

But this is no argument that ties will be broken.

Isaac.6041:

Did they say they were going to award two 4th place prizes in the case of a tie? No.

Did they said the opposite?? No!

Isaac.6041:

You were basing your info on WvW season 1 which did not award prizes in this manner. They already have the mechanisms in place to break ties and whether or not they want to use them to break ties or instead hand out same # tickets to servers that are tied is up to them.

Yes, they have that mechanism, as they make matches. But even if they have that mechanism, they do not use it in their leaderboard.

You can hardly show a server that he is 4th (and thats is what they are doing) and then say: No no, we only show you are 4th, but you only get the price for being 6th.

Isaac.6041:

I still expect the servers I listed to fall below 300 tickets but of course they still have the opportunity to score big wins in the next 4 weeks and a half.

You also ignored the even/odd-mechanics of the swiss-tournament. Your list is based on the outcome of an even round, you better use the one of an odd round, as the tournament will end with an odd round

Can we sell the tickets? I do not care one bit about skins for anything.

I would trade every skin/ticket associated thing I have for 1 more dps or a ham sandwich……….and I do even eat ham.

You do realize that the two primary RP servers, Tarnished Coast and Piken Square, aren’t even on these lists, right?
Your post is kind of lulzy if you’re being serious.
I mean really, TC is tied for 2nd place in Gold right now.
