Guild Wars 2

IMO, they should limit the number of realms a household can play WvW on to just one at a time.

So, they can set-up as many accounts as they like, to do PVE (or whatever else) on, but have to commit to just one for WvW.

That way, spying, trolling and permanent AFKing (to take up spots) would become less easy (you would have to “employ” a friend to do it, rather than being able to do it yourself) and people would have less incentive to match fix, as they would no longer be playing several realms at once, so wouldn’t be trying to keep all of them in the top tier (or whatever).

Also, (genuine) new players would still get to experience WvW fully.

Hi Anet,

Please limit free accounts to EOTM. It is one of the easiest ways to control them trolling WvW. Otherwise you will need to restrict supply carry, commander tags, upgrades etc for them in WvW which will be more complicated. Restriction to EOTM only will entice them to purchase the game more if they like WvW and want to help their server ‘win’. Level to 60 before WvW is not a restriction at all for serious trollers.

Restrictions listed here : https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/95982157
Free accounts need to be limited to EOTM only.

I agree 100%. Otherwise we end up with people cheating with no fear of losing the account, as seen in this video of a Yaks Bend player hacking into structures in Jade Quarry BL.

No one here condones such actions. Help the community by reporting such players immediately and sending the video to “GM Proheals”.

I would have reported the player if I had got the account name. No way to report without that. Hard to get a fix to do that on a player that is tele-hacking…..

Pretty easy to get account name. Block the person and check your blocklist.

This is a terrible idea, my step son plays and I play but were on two different servers. What do suggest in this case, or how about students that often have roommates that play and also aren’t on the same server. There was really no thought put into your suggestion.

I’m well aware of how to do it. Obviously you missed my point that you don’t time to do that when someone is teleporting away that fast……. lol

first of all i will start saying that the existent wvw players will try to abuse the f2p system .

anyone that things that this will never happen he will lie to himself and to others.

my personal view is that i have not a single problem with f2p players . i like have them fill my server’s maps while i can not , but if there is a possibility from other wvw players abuse the f2p system , then i prefer not to have these accounts in our borderlands.

i am belonging to mmo players that love to explore and i can not say from perosnal experience if there are easy ways to level fast up to 60 level ( in my sevrer reported me that many up-l;evel their toons to 60 in 3 days and there are many ways to do it ) , but if there is a single option to do it , then all wvw maps will filled with huge number of f2p accounts from players from other servers soon. .

why to do it ? because of the benefits that will have in matchup .

one benefit is to totally block the access to their home borderlands to enemies by parking their f2p accounts to the opposite side !

other benefits are hacking, spying , trolling , botting or whatever . something that it is happening now , but limited because there are not many players out there to pay to risk loose money with bans by doing these actions.

if there is not any risk to loose money , all existent wvw players will try abuse the system , including my self ……

this will destroy the wvw as it is now .

p.s. in my home i have 3 different computers and in my work plenty and i am sure there are a lot of players out there that have at least one laptop or they are playing from internet cafe where there a lot of computers to help abuse this system !

p.ss. i have some news to share from my country . i have read from our game forums that all f2p created their toons in Seafarer Rest , desolation , piken square and gandara …. huh . if you think that f2p players will choose anything else than tier 1 you failed understand the human nature

Well, is there any reason why you and your step son can’t play on the same server?

Obviously, you would probably need to give people one chance to move server (for free), before you brought the restriction in.

The point is, the fact that people play on multiple servers, simultaneously, removes any integrity from WvW.

People spy, they take up spots intentionally on one realm (resulting in artificial queues) while playing another, they troll…

None of this is good for the game.

Even just making it so people could only play one of their accounts at a time (in WvW) would help a lot.

Even though it wouldn’t solve the entire problem, as some people play one account after another and are still involved in fixing outcomes.

said that from start lock wvw but noooooooo
