Hi all.
I leave this post here because I strongly feel, that WvW week would be more interesting and rewarding if the scoring system would be tweaked to the potential it has.
Currently some match-ups are really uneven population wise and offer very little reward specially to those who keep trying to do their best no matter how outnumbered they are. Then again matches offer same amount of reward to those who get easy wins just by boarding the train.
If we would have scoring compensation system, where server would keep live track of population changes on each map and compensate the average (over time) player amount ratios of current tick to structure scores of next starting tick, we would have much more interesting week of game play.
If for example any map would have current tick average of 10 guys from team A, 20 from world B and 15 from world C, team A should get most structure points from next starting tick as they have hardest time capping/keeping them with their low numbers. Team C should get the average and team A should get less as they got most ppl and have easiest task ahead.
As another example if some world has 10 guys from team A, 0 from world B and 0 from world C, score of A’s should be ~(3 times*compensation value) lower than average.
Finding good compensation value would be obviously rather important and I would personally think something around 0,5 or less, but that is details already.
This system would be equalizer on both offensive and defensive front and give reason + benefits of doing both with any size of zerks against any size of zerks.
Most importantly this method would keep scoring more even and competition going in matches longer than one night after reset which too often is the case now.
I would honestly like WvW to be about everyone doing their best towards their world, no matter how uneven the population between servers might sometimes be.
