How end of reason should be rewarded
The end of reason should be rewarded with an emotional party.
Typos aside, this kind of idea leads to inflation. If you were talking WXP, however, I’d buy it. Then modify the amount of reward given by performance… so a large server that does badly will get enough WXP to gain half a rank, a large server that does well will get enough WXP to gain 5 ranks, a small server that does well will get enough WXP to gain 20 ranks, and a small server that does badly will get enough WXP to gain 5 ranks. As an example.
Reward the underdogs, punish the narbcakes, and give the average players average rewards.
WvW is not really competitive PvP so you cannot really reward anyone based on league standings, it would be unfair to reward people just because they went to server with more people and better rank.
If server has a lot of points in WvW it doesn’t mean they have good or bad players. It doesn’t really mean anything at all.
If they want to give out something else than green minipet it should be balanced in a way that it doesn’t really reward people for doing nothing intelligent at all, which is what WvW as a casual fooling mode is.
Ideal would be same reward for everyone and not a RNG one so this other guy won’t get precursor and other guy get green level 65 torch. If there absolutely has to be better reward for #1 server it should be like 1 gold extra or something, or one more queen Jenna in case someone missed getting one. I got 6.
How end of reason should be rewarded? Is that really a typo?
However, I agree that rewarding based on server placement is plainly unfair. It also rewards those, who just transferred for rewards to stacked servers and made the queues for those players originating there even longer. That kind of selfish player rewards is not a good direction to go. Of course on the top servers there might also be really dedicated and good players, who would deserve such a reward, but it just can not be measured by the implemented game mechanics.
Make it some cosmetic rewards, some unique skins or smth. But no Money, no WXP, no Karma. That would just add insult to injury (figuratively speaking) and would only give a sign to all the others: come stack on the top ranking servers.
Chronomancy works, I am proof of it. Now stop asking me questions. Time must be preserved!
The end of reason is insanity.
The end of reason is its own reward.
