Guild Wars 2

Some of the reason people wanting to show up for their server and the fighting in wvw has gone stale is the reason to win. Who cares if you are ranked 4th or 7th in a system that randomizes the match up week to week.

Their needs to be an award system for 1st none for 2nd and 3rd. Why do I say no for the 2nd and 3rd? So it makes the game what the developers wanted it to be a three way fight not two stronger server ganging up on the 3rd weaker server. What would the 2nd stronger server have to gain nothing. However it would help the 2nd and 3rd focus wanting to keep the 1st server from gaining points… no?
These awards can very from badges or something but one never goes out of style is gold. I think that would be cool on Friday night the reset is coming and you get in game mail with your winning from the week. It could even be based of a ratio of how many objects and kills you did that week for your server.

Example: Your account took 360 towers, 89 keeps, 12 stonemist castle while killing 1076 players your award for your efforts this week is X amount of gold. Amount goes up and down on a % scale based on what is done. Also to help with balance the system while calculating could figure out the ratio of characters your server fielded vs your opponents so. Server got 1st place but it had a 4:1 ratio over the two other server and it diminishes the award but a %. This could also help balance out the coverage the servers have instead of making everyone wanting to jump to a winning server. For example again: This weeks match ups say TC wins over Fa and SoS one player gets an award of 1g vs CD who wins over Ehmry Bay and borlis pass a player with the same capture points and kills gets 5g because they had a ratio of 1:1. or another idea the server as a whole gets x number of gold amount and is distributed through the players who wvw. Again giving a server taking first who less population more gold over a server that has stacked population over its competition. To help with balance coverage.

As it is right now and Im sure most servers are like this that if they get a bad week most of the server just does not even show up that week. Bragging about winning on the forums only goes so far for so long.

This may not be the idea used but something more needs to be added to make people want to win vs just battle.
