Guild Wars 2

So, I’m a part of a Mercenary-Class guild. We’re level 20 for the Guild Hall. We’re small in WvW, about 5 to 8 active people at our peaks. We’ve been in operation since the game launched, and we usually do covert roaming in WvW, with the odd tagging up to take towers and keeps. Groups like ours have been not just necessary, but completely relied-upon.
We had the ability to provide all the available buffs on players at keeps, towers and castles under our control. We were viable and felt we were treated fairly by Arenanet.

Now, we are struggling to even get back to where we once stood. All these stupid mandatory Guild Hall upgrades just to be viable in WvW, and we can’t even drop all the buffs on players that we used to.

You removed the issues with players needing to put money into upgrading the towers manually with low cost upgrades, and created a stonewall problem of upgrades for towers/keeps that cost an arm and a leg to the guild that put the upgrade in.

Tell me, what incentive do we have to put a 10g value schematic upgrade into a tower if we think that tower might fall in an hour?

Please, fix WvW. It should have NOTHING to do with Guild Halls, and if it does, it shouldn’t cost SO MUCH GOLD. Some of our small guilds don’t have those resources, and we got this game to play a game, not to farm just to get back to where we once where. This is bullkitten and everyone knows it.

The only thing they need to do is drop +5 from an extremely harsh level 37. It should be 15 for camps, around 25 for towers and finally 37 for keeps. kitten the schematics, the only thing worth it is passives.

The +5 should be a default aura that gets automatically unlocked with the claiming option, that you can’t turn off.

It’s the one everyone want, that is required for WvW game mode, and the main problem with troll claims (people claiming without the +5 buff).

This way any claim is a good claim for the +5, so troll claiming would be 99% (or so) negated. And WvW guilds would feel they got a use out of claiming from the start.

Still haven’t heard about a single other upgrade we really need or have a use for.
