Idea: WvW ALL WORLD TOURNAMENT!!!
No, god no.
The absolute last thing WvW needs is a tournament. Let alone an EoTM-esque tournament where every one is anonymous.
Worst idea ever. And this is particularly hilarious:
Worlds from lower tiers can learn from the best. When the tournament is over they can use their new found knowledge and experience to aim for the top!
No, god no.

Sure, allied worlds wont know each other at the start, but when a tournament like this is announced the top and second tier servers are the most likely to reach out to their allied worlds and as time goes on allies can become less anonymous. When new guilds come to my server my guild commanders make contact with them and try to work with them. It doesn’t always work out but when it does it feels great.
EoTM points don’t count towards mist war and the only impact they have on the mist war is a batch of supply and because of that small impact players are more inclined to stay anonymous.

Re-read the post. You missed the point.
When you “alliance servers” you get into the EoTM problem of it being not their server, so why should they care.

Players exchanging ideas to better their game is hilarious? I mean the difference between tiers in regards to skill, mastery, leadership, and teamwork can be huge. The amount of insight and experience can be a great help to a lot of players.
How did the top tier servers get to the top? By observing and integrating the ideas of the enemies they fought against and applying their own spin to them. I have witnessed this myself. How can this happen when worlds are being matched up with the same worlds every week?
Top servers are the top cuz they have more coverage aka people around the clock to Pree preee teeeeee
FOR THE GREEEEEEEEEEEEN
Top servers are the top cuz they have more coverage aka people around the clock to Pree preee teeeeee
And in this tournament those top servers can share that coverage with other servers.
You can indeed always pick up new tricks from other servers and servers, but that is not a one way ticket. That´s more of a a big cup of elitist col aid drink you are brewing with this attitude.
I have seen Gold Soldiers that are buffed to the teeth getting trampled over by PvPers who were not even Bronze Invaders, so the rank of an indvidual player also means nothing for learning something from him. I am a Silver Soldier at the moment, earned from scouting, zerg commanding, repariring, defending, roaming and small scale, but I know as good as nothing about duelling or GvG, but know where to place siege for example. ^^

Wouldn’t they care to show the other worlds what they are made of and what they can do? They can have more people to strategize and play with in order to have a new experience out side of the same match ups every week. They can challenge themselves by taking on players or guilds of other tiers. Wouldn’t it be great to find that they could stand up to or even beat enemies of higher tiers?

Learning from each other is a plus while the main goal with this idea is to have new experiences. Weren’t’ players griping about how we are always playing against the same people?

You’re a special kinda of person aren’t you…..
I mean i knew T1 had some snowflakes, but kitten dude, the sheer amount of special you exude is enough to make the course of the polar ice-caps reverse time and the effects of global warming.
Get this, your T1 servers may or may not have good players. What they do have is 24/7 coverage. That is all that allows them to stay T1. WvW ranking is and will always be a numbers game. It has nothing to do with individual skill.

I absolutely disagree. Numbers isnt everything. I know that none of the top tier servers have 24/7 coverage. Im on Blackgate, a server that, just last week, placed first against Jade Quarry the server with the largest SEA coverage in the tier plus they team up with Tarnished Coast, every week, and Blackgate is gonna do it again this week.

So you’re completely oblivious to the fixed placing T1 has ?
Gotcha explains alot. Continue on.

Youre hilarious, sorry to break it to you but t1 is not t1 due to skill. At all. The reason t1 is t1 and t9 is t9 is due to population and coverage, nothing else. Get over yourself, or better yet exit this little bubble of yours and visit other tiers.

This is actually a great idea! Stop fixating on the one sentence about learning from others.
This is similar to the idea put forth to attempt to fix the population/coverage issue. But instead of being permanent, it will only be for a short tournament.
Everyone can have their own TS still. You can coordinate cross server with map chat. And you can even create a temporary channel in the server TS to invite members of another server for voice comms.
I’m sure Anet has the metrics to determine the best teams; taking into account coverage of different timezones on different servers.
I’ll bet you’d see a surge of players come back for this too.
This might get me playin wvw again. All the servers get assigned to a color and there are 8 persistent copies of each borderland + ebg. With a tournament like this you could even have edge of the mist become a persistent score world instead of the ktrain paradise it currently is. You don’t lose your server’s identity like you do in edge.
This tournament needs to happen!

THANKS for the positive posts guys. Glad to see you guys like it. I hope to see this idea gain more support.
Fix WvW first.

If population and coverage is everything, then this tournament helps with that. Population and coverage can be SHARED across many servers of different tiers and I will be able to meet many other tiers without having to leave my guild and world and without paying a transfer fee.
Fix WvW first.
I agree that WvW needs fixing before a tournament like this can happen. Thats why im presenting this idea ahead of time so that once WvW is in a better state this community would have discussed the kitten out of this idea. Things like this tournament take time to develop and it starts by talking about it first.
