What if for one week all players logging into WvW couldn’t bring any gear, inventories emptied, only one 20 slot bag, all forms of trade in WvW were turned off, banks would be inaccessible, all external buffs switched off including WvW levels and our characters in WvW were temporarily reset to say level 50?
Basically we all start on an even playing field and have to scrounge for weapons, siege, etc.
None of these changes would be permanent and the game mode would only last a week. Magic Find would be capped at 300% for all players and Veteran Guards would have a high siege drop rate. When players die, a piece of their equipment breaks, becomes useless and it cannot be repaired.
At the end of the week, anything in the players direct inventory would carry over and all WxP, money, etc gained would be added into their characters permanent pool.
What if?
It would be a great time to finally work on the PvE raid…
No I don’t want something like this. Why take all that hard earned weapons, armor, and other stuff and do away with it for a week? No your idea would promote people blobbing even more than they do now. Simply to get their weapons and stuff faster and in the safety of a blob.
What if?
Thief wars?
Even playing field my kittenss.
what if only mesmers were allowed for a week? thoughts Sarika?
PS – sorry for slight derail, but not for me. What about mercenary week where you can play for the other side in your match? Heck why not have that all the time to fill in the gaps of totally unbalanced matches/time zones.

It’s an interesting idea but too drastic to just force on everyone…would still be better than Golem week, though.

WHAT!!! I loved Golem Week I had tons of fun that week!
I would support something similar but just simplify the gear portion into pvp-style amulets. Scrounge for siege though, lol.

Me too!!! I was critting for 20k aoe! Best time in history of gw2
The “What-if” I want is a week where each character has only one life in WvW. Once that character dies they are locked out of WvW for the remainder of the week.
It would promote some toxic behavior for sure. But it make fights realllllllllyyyyyyy matter.
Hmmm… figured some might want to try something different after 200+ weeks of the same ole thing especially with some WvW populations getting close to a collapse.
I guess those scoring changes the base voted for were a better use of developer time.

I’m all for theme weeks, if they do it right. Stripping players of gear when we know balance is out of whack in this game? lol like I mentioned it’ll turn into thief week, hell thief mesmer ranger, just because of stealth and range will have a huge advantage.
Players abused golem week with the dupes and exploits, it got worse over the week with players even coming on in here bragging about doing so and nothing was done to them. Anything that gives certain players the advantage will end up badly.
I would like the part about Level 50 – I could go even lower. Instead of no trade, no bags, etc. you could just say you can’t equip anything but greens and blues.
Some of the best times I remember were back in the very beginning before people got to 80. Everyone running around as up-levels without all your weapons, ah great times.
There are some guilds that run events that have part of this idea, run nekkid and you can only equip whatever drops you get. It’s fine and fun in short burst, but don’t think it would be for a week long event.

Everyone would just avoid fights they could possibly lose at all costs.
