Guild Wars 2

I came up with this idea a few weeks back trying to work out how to make WvW more Fun & Fair for all & to help stop the Server hopping that some Guilds seem to do in order to be on the Winning Weeks server only for them to hop again as soon as the server meets a better opponent.

I think the best way to stop guilds server jumping is to get rid of the week match’s & go back to the 24hr ones & get rid of the scores & have it who ever has the most at the end of the day wins. Have a league table like in football & have it that the 1st place server gets 3 points, 2nd place gets 2 points & 3rd place gets 1 point.

This way we could have random server match’s & not ranked one’s thus getting rid of the kittenness of the Rankings we have today & stopping Guilds wanting to jump ship as much as they do now.

The league table would look something like this:

(Server) (Played) (1st) (2nd) (3rd) (Total – Points)

Vizunah Square – 20 – 19 – 1 – 0 – 59
Desolation – 20 – 15 – 2 – 3 – 52
Arborstone – 20 – 15 – 3 – 2 – 51

Piken Square – 20 – 10 – 10 – 0 – 50
Gunnar’s Hold – 20 – 10 – 10 – 0 – 50

I think this type of Match layout would make for a more fun WvW & much more fair system for all.

(All idea’s are welcome but please keep this thread on topic)

The most obvious problem with this would be that all the server jumpers would just transfer to the top server. so it wouldn’t really change much, interesting idea however

Very true but I was more looking at it as those Guilds would have to stay with x-server for at-least 7days & in those 7days the server could win twice come second three times & 3th two times, this with what happens in others server’s match’s could see a server moving from 10th in the league table to 2nd by the end of that week (it would also work the other way round 2nd to 10th) but it is a system that could & I think would lead to a more fair & fun WvW for all.

Sounds like a good plan, cant keep hopping this way and might make the servers more balanced

To stop the player hopping all they do is add,

Pay to server transfer, discount from High to Low WvW que servers
Can’t play the remainder of that weeks WvW
1 month cool down

There sorted, the sever hopping will slow down dramatically, the WvW ranking system which was designed to match equal strengthed (ie population and time zone spread,, oh and slight influence with player skill).

Thus WvW should become pretty balanced with the server with night cappers all fighting eachother, and all the high pop servers fighting each others, the small servers with strong guilds all fighting eachother and the very weak quiet servers all fighting eachother.

So yeah its not the scoring system or any game mechanic thats the issues with WvW rankings its out of control player migration thats the problem creating FOTM server at the expesne of other servers.

I think one of the main reasons Guilds move in the current system, the scores when X-server wins by 100k points those that do nothing but look at the score are the ones that keep jumping server.

WvW shouldn’t be about the overall score like it is now with the system we have & instead it should be about having fun so that you (The Players) keep coming back, the system I propose I feel will help in the Fun part of WvW & make it better for all.

So, anyone who can only play for the first few hours of the ‘reset’ may as well not bother?

If you can only play for the first few hours after reset your contribution in WvW would be better felt within the 24hrs more than it would be in the week long WvW, you would make more of a difference for the server in a 24hr match than you would in a week long match.
