This is just an example suggestion, but something must be done and should be the first priority

Full, High, Low and similar server (or any future WvW Team) status should be set based on a Rating System that gives a real fighting chance to every team. What we have now seems based on total number of players that go into WvW and spend some time there, even if they don’t contribute.

This could have two parts:
1. Current Rating: balance servers based on this
- based on contibution into PPK, PPT, etc. Gathering nodes, being afk, having a higher death than kills ratio, means not contributing to your team
- similar to PvP mode, giving more track rewards to higher ranks, but one must keep contributing in order to keep it

2. Total Accumulated Rating
- give ascended item tracks, legendaries, traits and more based on this
- shown on a “Scoreboard” web page, with Current and Total contributions, or at least an API

heya

sounds good, mabye its time to change somthing in WvW.

I had this idea 2 month ago:

Example:
T1-3 for Blobfights and Queues.
T4-5 for medium Blobs
T6-7 for Roamer and small Guild fights

Anyone could choose what they just want. So no server membership, but simply after now just desire and mood, select in a field/selection, without transfer.

I have fun today/few hours on blobifights – I join T1-3

or

I wanna just roam today – I join T6-7

and I made this thread 6 month ago:
Slow-death-of-the-forgotten-Guest-server

Tinka – Whiteside Ridge WSR - It’s a game, have fun and be kind to others

I see everyone gave up on “suggesting” solutions, understandable at this point, but then nothing else is left but throwing insults and giving up on the game forever.

I also don’t give a kitten (whatever that means on this forum) about how it is solved, but is clear the metrics used needs to be replaced or tweaked.

All I care in the end that there is something to fight, and both sides have a chance to fight back for a while because that is the only fun part in WvW and beyond. Who wins and everything else means nothing at this point.

A proper Scoreboard or Realm Rank Chart or similar could have been a reason to attract and keep competitive minded players and guilds, instead of the direction taken with EoTM and then HoT: pointless karma train.

Why bother? Just do dailies, they’re not hard for most part, no matter what server
