Guild Wars 2

Why even have ppk, now its making some servers more chicken to fight because they are so worried about their Kdr if they die =/ Blobs roll smaller groups people and brag about their kills so ppk seems like it gives advantage to whoever has more people on their server to blob.

Even when there was no PPK people would still run away from fights and hide inside tower/keeps and roll on zergs afraid of engaging close-to-even fights.

There is nothing new here except that the server that have more kills now are rewarded for it just like a server who pvd empty structures.

E) Take an English language class.

PPK is not KDR. The point of having PPK is to gain points from kills. The amount of deaths have no bearing on that. If your players are not getting kills, it is time to ask why. Since blobbing smaller groups is one of the ways to get kills, as is tagging or finishing downs made by another server, it means PPK can never be a measure of skill.

As for KDR, if players are getting chicken about fighting or not fighting unless they are blobbed together, it is from worry about the deaths stat, not kills. A guild may lose a few players and retreat from a fight so as to prevent deaths from occurring even though they basically lost the fight.

Servers that are first place in their match and do not have the highest KDR should look at the skill level of their players. Servers that are last in their match and have the lowest KDR clearly are getting blobbed.

And when the lowest score is the highest KDR such as TC is at T1 atm?

A certain unnamed server with crazy high KDR seemed to love +1ing blob v blob fights…sandwiching one of the blobs and then engaging the other after half it’s frontline was wrecked. Throw in some 10v1 condi/stealth gank squads and you have a recipe for crazy KDR.

It’s not hard. It’s just boring…except the 2v1 blob fights. Those are actually fun despite any KDR hit.

I am no analyst, but I’d say it’s related to the fact that we get night capped and karma trained on off hours.

Not really. You also have the least amount of kills, meaning that there’s just simply less of you guys online to kill.

PPK is a simple metric brought in to give fights relevance and counter the siege bunker mentality that almost killed this game.
