So i thought it will be interesting to see how many hours it takes each week to finish all the skirmish reward (the 175 tickets). So i did some math for those who hate math
1) How many ticks do we have if we have a tick every 5 minutes?
12 per hour, 288 per day, 2016 per week.
2) How many pips do we need to get all skirmish reward?
1450 pips.
So in a week you have 2016 ticks to get 1450 pips, which seems like a good number. But please see below for the actual time you need to play in order to get all 1450 pips.
There are 168 hours in a week, if you earn average of-
1 pip per tick : you will need 121 hours. 17 hours a day (super unlucky newbies in the worst server, I do recommend you server hop)
2 pip per tick : you will need 60 hours – 9 hours a day (playing gw2 wvw is your job)
3 pip per tick : you will need 40 hours (this is where most new and Bronze WvW Rank are at) – 5 to 6 hours a day
4 pip per tick : you will need 30 hours – 4 hours a day (Bronze WvW Rank)
5 pip per tick : you will need 24 hours – 3.5 hours a day (Silver WvW Rank)
6 pip per tick : you will need 20 hours – 3 hours a day (Silver WvW Rank)
7 pip per tick : you will need 17 hours – 2.5 hours a day (Gold WvW Rank)
8 pip per tick : you will need 15 hours – 2 hours a day (Platinum WvW Rank)
9 pip per tick : you will need 13.5 hours – 1.9 hours a day (Mithril WvW Rank)
10 pip per tick : you will need 12 hours – 1.7 hours a day (Diamond WvW Rank)
11 pip per tick : you will need 11 hours – 1.5 hours a day (Max WvW Rank) (WvW God)
(average of 12+ more pip is not realistic for most players so not gonna add it. The WVW Rank is an estimated average, it might be slightly different to if you are commander, time when you are outnumber, and placement of your server. Also after 3 week if you earn your loyalty pip give yourself an extra pip.)
