Guild Wars 2

Please. PLEASE. I beg…remove these incredibly IMBALANCED boons that give players who have spent longer playing wvw to have a massive (and yes it is massive) unfair advantage over players who did NOT spend as long in wvw or who did not get those wvw trait lines.

They are the most imbalanced non-class-related boon in the history of wvw AFAIK.

But for me personally it’s balanced since I believe all Warriors have an unfair advantage of having more HP than me naturally. :P I get to have my HP at least slightly closer to how much a vit-less War has. If they remove it it should only be removed from Warrior access and have it give them a shoulder rabbit or something instead.

Play more WvW and you will get it too.

I’ve come to the conclusion that sPvP is the PvP mode designed for those who want a level playing field and WvW is the mode for those who want their time in the game/mode to provide an advantage, no matter how small.

Working as intended?

Working as intended if imbalance and unfairness and player frustration and opposing player gloating undeservedly are the goals.

Why do you think that you deserve to be in the same lvl as someone who spent 1000h+ playing the same mode?

The whole point of WvW ranks is to give a situational bonus to those who play the mode a lot. This is partly about giving a sense of reward (essential to any RPG) but is also (in the case of the two Applied bonuses) about ensuring that the more experienced players – who will be the backbone of the server’s combat groups – have a bit more survivability.

Go play sPvP if you want 0 progression.

WvW is designed to reward participation and commitment.

Well, I would have a big grin in my face if I would kill someone who has full stacks, because I know I’ve really kinda punished them for messing with me, since they’ll now have to get those stacks again.

Oh, and I would also feel a bit proud, because I know they spend MUCH more time in WvW than I do. After all… you need to be at least rank 230 to get both. My main is like rank 32 or so, and together with my alts (when wxp becomes accountbound) it would probably be around rank 50 or maybe even 60 by now. And I feel like there’s much more useful stuff to get, before I’ll even think about getting those two.

So yeah… I don’t really care about those stacks. I don’t recall ever fighting someone with those stacks anyway… maybe I just was lucky or I forgot; dunno.
