Guild Wars 2

This is not a very well fleshed out, however, I wanted to post it anyways.

I think WvW should reward people more for managing the second resource of WvW better (in other words people). What I mean by this is that 10 people taking a keep from 5 defenders should be rewarded more than 30 people who do the same.

In reverse, 5 people defending a keep should get more from it than 15 people defending a keep (the difference in example numbers is because defenders have a natural advantage of keep walls… siege weapons work for both sides).

Feel free to substitute keep for control point. I don’t know if this is done at present, but it certainly does not look like that. Zerg trains are way too common on some servers (trains, because many like to run on roads in a line).

The point is by rewarding for smart allocation of the most valuable resource of personnel perhaps it will encourage people to learn to play strategically over using the non-strategy of strength in numbers and circling Eternal Battlegrounds taking points only to loose it 2 minutes later. I believe this could emphasize planning and co-ordination in pug’s and even inter guild and result in better matches for everyone.

I know this is a non-issue in some of the high ranking servers where no doubt server pride does more than enough. However, realistically not everyone who would want to be on those kind of servers can get on them. If your world versus world population primarily consists of disjoint guilds and public players fostering that kind of co-operation is also not something that few people can pull off no matter how much they want to.
