Guild Wars 2

I’ve been hearing people say there is a limit of 175 tickets per week. Here is my problem with how Anet has implemented this system.

What is the point of giving players with higher ranks more pips, when in the end they don’t truly benefit at all. They have a high rank for a reason, they play at insane amount of hours per day, like for instance a diamond rank could get done within a day with the rest of the week really going to nothing. While a lower tier could still get the same amount of tickets just more spread out really.

I have no clue what happens but does the reward track just repeat with no tickets or do you just not get skirmish rewards. IMO higher ranks should be able to attain more tickets or they shouldn’t cap it at 175.

I have ran through the pip ranks completely and can confirm diamond chests do repeat, but they only let you get the tickets for them after the initial 6 diamond chests.

However, you do get increased rewards at the diamond level compared to the lower ones, so i dont see the real problem with the lack of claim tickets. Putting this much time in wvw in a single day is absurd, normally this amount would be 3-4 days (normally 5-6 days a week of wvw for me)

they should make the last diamond repeatable chest a few tickets too.

also, give eotm some tickets even if it might be reduced rewards so that people can actually play when maps are queued.

Sorry a bit confused about your statement. Either you’re saying the diamond chest repeats 6 times with tickets, or that the diamond chest repeats 6 times with the extra rewards but without tickets.

They should reset after you run through the diamond chest, clearly you are cranking out extreme amounts of pips with your high rank and bandwagonned server winning matchups.

The pips for ranks are way too high and reward blob servers and EOTM heroes whilst leaving those who had harder battles, or played on quieter servers, or scouted, or played support rather than spamming 1 mindlessly at the front of the zerg, and less wexp and average ranks (say 2000-4000 ranks) getting less than half the reward per tick: 4 pips per tick compared to 10.

Kinda makes me wish I had followed the bandwagonning guilds and played guard so I could get rewarded for it.

Wow, really assuming much there buddy. I dont like eotm, and i hate blobbing. Unfortunately today was pretty much blobs on every map since every server had all maps queued. I do find it funny you are whining about bandwagons when today experienced every map queued on almost every server in this game from late SEA to late NA. The playing field was even. Every side had their rally bait, and for the most part, mags bandwagonners were all together on one map like they always were, unable to map hop. anyways off tangeant, lets do a bit of math here for you.

first vs third is a +2 difference, Gold rank is only +3. my average tick was 5-6 pips. That is hardly cranking out pips compared to other people. a third place eotm hero will get more than i average a tick.

Think a bit harder (might be difficult) but an outmatched server who fair weathers will allow their more dedicated wvwers to crank out pips at a much greater rate than the bandwagoner server.

I spend a LOT of time scouting and doing callouts on my thief (my main). I sort of regret it now and am actively considering changing my playstyle. It’s proven primarily fruitless as scouting is nearly a zero-recognition activity which is now compounded with a nearly zero reward/incentive to continue doing it.

It also seems like participation burns way faster post-patch (maybe my imagination?) which means I can’t afford to be doing “nothing” for very long, especially since nearly all the commanders on my server seem resistant to adding scouts to the participation queue in their squads.

Time to embrace the zerg I guess.

For the sheer amount of time it takes to get to and complete the diamond chest the first time, I don’t see why tickets should not be repeatable for those who continue wvw-ing.

I can’t see anyone spending their tickets on any of the infusions and other petty rewards anytime in the next 2 years considering there are much more prestige skins to work towards instead.

I just hope their is an end of the week reward that gives skirmish tickets. It going to take awhile to finish any set in wvw. Even if you are very active, that’s a lot of time needed to finish one set.
