Guild Wars 2

After reading a thread about which server you would like to face during Season 1, I began to wonder.

Why can’t the community come up with our own matches every other month?

How it would work:
- In the WvW IN GAME dialog, there will be a poll where you can select the other two servers you would like to face next week.
- The totals will be tallied for EACH SERVER BASED ON A WEIGHTED TOTAL. The matches with the highest amount of votes will be determined.
- Population = determines the weight. Lower population = more weight. This helps even the amount of votes vs high population servers.

Thoughts?

Could be funny as a once-in-awhile thing. I don’t think it should be like that every week though.

Ya I vote we (DR) play against blackgate so the 2 or so remaining guilds leave our server and they merge us with somebody else.

I actually like this idea. I’m sure there are plenty of players that enjoy easily rolling over their opponents but i think the majority of WvW players would much prefer close matchups than a complete blowout.

I for one trust the judgement of humans far more than an RNG algorythm. Call me old fashioned.

That is really just it to be honest. As a BG player, I know a lot of BG folk would love to fight against TC again. And I am sure TC feels the same way. And the good news it wouldn’t be a total blow out as TC’s NA prime time is pretty top notch.

Would we know the outcome of some matches? Sure, but honestly who wouldn’t like to play a game of basketball with Michael Jordan or golf with Tiger Woods? It would be fun to just say you “tried.”

People would like to play against Jordan or Woods because they respect their talent and skill, and the work they put into their sports. Higher tier servers are higher tier simply because of coverage and population. So I feel the two situations are very different.
