Guild Wars 2

From the interview here: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/feature/7169/Guild-Wars-2-What-Marchs-WvW-Patch-Will-Bring.html

It says we get ranks based on how many kills we have etc.. but does that count kills we already have?
Because some people got tens of thousands of kills and it would be a let down to be put at the same level of a rookie.

This was already answered here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Will-World-XP-and-Titles-be-retroactive/first

Bottom line: No, not retroactive.

No retroactive points!

Sad, but ultimately fair

I think they have mentioned that badges will buy new items or possibly even skills. If you’re a dedicated WvW player, you’ll have the badges to buy yourself something nice.

I’m pretty sure everyone’s been saving badges (if they aren’t legendary farming), because the WvW armor looks terrible and siege can be bought with gold.

Not sure how that makes sense. Its not retro in order to protect new players, but in a year new players will be in the same boat versus the players who put time in then will be better off then the players who put time in now. How is that balanced?
