Guild Wars 2

Due to population imbalances, most matchups are blowouts. It doesn’t seem like Anet has any interest in dealing with the population issue, so here’s an idea for the smaller servers to have something to fight for:

Keep the current PPT score as is, but also include sub-scores:

• scores for just EB: only PPT and kills from EB count.
• scores for each BL: same as above but just in the designated BL.
• scores for timezones (maybe break the day into 3 8-hour blocks?).

This way outnumbered servers that normally have quit by Sunday night can rally together and try to win maybe just the EB game, or their BL, or if they’re great in NA prime but gets nightcapped, they go for the NA timezone win.

People who normally quit by the end of the weekend might stick around for the rest of the week this way.

Best of all: implementing this takes next to zero work on Anet’s part.

Yeah Im not really sure what this does other than give bragging rights to the losing server.

Which as of late, some dont need it as now focusing on PPT is a bad thing (though thats whats going to win you the match).

Using siege is a bad thing, though its obviously part of the game.

Guilds running open ops to help promote server education and enjoyment for those who are not in guilds that WvW is a bad thing because “well they just omni blob”.

Coordinated tactics between guild groups is greatly disapproved of because well somehow its not fair to the server who chooses not to do this.

Using any tactics that do not include the exact same numbers on either side of the fight, an agreed upon meeting place where you will fight, and an agreed upon use of skills and combination of skills makes your server crap. Even if you win the match.

Plenty of chest bumping to be had already if thats what youre looking for. I just dont know that this does anything for or against that.

EDIT:

I will say for servers leadership who want to build that server this will become a tool in finding the holes of the server. Where are we losing the most so we know what to look for to fill the gaps in coverage.

the lower tier servers actually have players i just moved to Vabi with the guild i am in and the fights are so much better that silly SFR fights were

It’s not even the just lower tiers. Blowouts lead to even bigger blowouts as people stop logging in for the week so by monday, barely anyone is playing on the losing servers. If you give people some source of rallying point (win EB!) the matchups stay interesting for perhaps a few days more every week.
