Gold / silver etc is boring and gives the fase impression that “gold” is more skilled than silver and so on. Why not name leagues after lore much like server names?

No, but it makes sense.
It is the “best” league and thus it have the “most valuable” name.

If you win a race you do win gold after all.

In America, when you win the most important thing, it’s the Commisioner’s Trophy. Here in the states, we have unique and fun names for stuff instead of boring “gold”.

Vince Lombardi trophy, Stanley Cup, World Series, Jules Rimet cup…

You need some sort of tradition before you can give names to your prizes or divisions – it will come. Maybe.

Let’s keep that list going? Barclays Premiership, NPower trophy, Budweiser FA Cup…
They’re named after SPONSORS, not tradition.

Now if you want The Black Lion Premier League, or Evan Nashblade Trophy or Consortium Cup then we’re on the same page!

They are not the best, the most populated you mean.

Because leagues itself are uninteresting?

We already know all winners, we already know how this is affecting population spread, we already know how most of those 7 weeks matches will be.

Your country is just one of the many, many countries whose people play this game. I don’t know why you feel so special. Gold/silver/bronze is a standard in the world and it’s clear for everyone what exactly it is and what value it has. Names should stay the way they are.

Please inform the less prescient among us. Spill the beans. Do tell us this predictable, inevitable results that we all supposedly know. So we have it on record.

None of the names I provided (except maybe the World series – but that’s an old story) were sponsor related.

I don’t expect you to be familiar with the NA trophies – but I hope that you know at least what the Jules Rimet Cup is.

BTW – I completely like and support your suggested names. Would be fun.

THAT’S your most significant complaint about WvW?? Really? If I was a cynic (OK, if I was a bigger cynic) I’d suspect you of being an ANet employee trying to stealth move other more relevant threads further down the list.

Well gold is only the 2nd most valuable metal, so for your (crappy) sense of logic, shouldn’t the leagues be :

Platinum League for 1-6
Gold League for 7-15
Rhodium League for 16-24

edit: put correct metal value order (dumb me – good thing I reread)

Well i believe this is quite a good naming suggestion.

Goes with the Lore and everyone can relate them to an ascending tier!

Orichalcum > Mithril > Platinum > Gold > Iron > Silver > Copper
