I know currently PPT isn’t a good motivation at moment, but maybe it will be more important again should the mayor WvW-overhault come active (at least thats my hope).

Problem: Upgrades are absolutely worthless at moment, they are free, they are automatic and the WPs are available from start. As a result defending your possesions is as less motivated as attacking difficult target, and the karma-PvD-train is more valuable than ever.

Proposal Make the PPT-value of object depend on the upgrade.

  • T1 no value
  • T2 current value (5 camps, 10 towers, 25 keeps, 35 SM)
  • T3 double the current value

GG seeing ticks of 1400. There would literally be no way to play the game other than to nightcap. After 2 nights, servers with a nightcrew will have won the matchup because its utterly impossible to catch up.

Sorry but this idea is hilarious.

Off-time domination should be fixed as well (A PPT that is always decided when the fewest people play will stay irrelevant).
But this is another problem, that need other solutions, e.g. the ones discussed https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/Scoring-Discussion/first or https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/Nerf-the-domination-of-Coverage

But if you like to keep the max 695, you can also say T1 nothing, T2 half today, T2 as today.

This would do absolutely nothing to fix the situation Dawdler points out. It would just make the numbers smaller.

Maybe it did not made it clear enough. I am convinced:

Without a fix to coverage-wars WvW will be burried within 2016.

So without a fix to the coverage problem there is no need to fix anything else.

So look at my proposal from a point of view where the coverage problen is fixed in some way. And don’t bring just the argument, it doesn’’t work as wvw is broken.
