Guild Wars 2

With Skirmish rewards coming into the conversation, I wanted to see if people would be interested in rewards that show off server pride. Sort of like a Skirmish Track, but the bar only moves with 1st place skirmish victories. For instance, Maguuma players could work towards a Greatsword skin that’s only available to their server. TC could get a Staff skin. BG could get a Sword skin. JQ has a Torch, etc. They could be unique, and near Legendary quality due to the difficulty of getting them.

Want to collect them all? Just gotta transfer servers. That would give players an incentive to purchase Gems. Anet would benefit from happy players due to the new reward, and have a new source of Gem revenue to pad their sales figures.

Transfering is the major cause of imbalance in WvW and you want to incentive more transfers? This forum never cease to amaze me…

That’s only if the player is hardcore enough to pay Gems to transfer. But Anet benefits because of the increase in Gem sales.

But as a compromise, the weekly winner of WvW for 4 consecutive weeks could choose another server’s reward. That gives incentive to play hard and win.

Player already transfer with no incentive man. You gain nothing but extra 2 chests with 2 blue and 1 gree for winning and people still pay tons of gems to move around to the next “flavor of the link” server. What you think it would happen if you gave incentives for them to move? More people would hop in the choo choo wagon for the flavor of the link to get their skins.

Terrible idea…

hmmm…
im from Gate of Madness, if theres a reward track specific to my server then i want the Mask of Madness…. lel

Server hopping already a thing. No need to encourage it even more, creating more imbalance then the bandwagoners going to cry about it whilst they are the core of that issue.

So people bandwagon to unlock the skin/weapon type they want?

I predict “QQ server X is full, I want my Y weapon” threads if this gets the green light.
