To the WvW team: Thank you so much for making this change. I know you have been opposed to this for a long time, so I really appreciate your willingness to change your plans to meet the community’s request.

Suddenly, I have the freedom to play alts to my hearts content in WvW. I’m so excited!

As a player that enjoys small roaming parties in WvW more than anything else and likes having the option to play more than one class, I want to say thank you too.

Finally something good for WvW.

Let the goodwill flow =]

This is awesome, looking forward to these changes

Thank you…..I can play WvW even when I don’t feel like rolling on my main! <3

Thank you indeed!

i want that all the chars i create share the same level as my main. if enough ppl start crying arena will always grant our wishes …. absolute hate this change.

Care to elaborate why ?

Nice, I have been talking against this for quite some time due to thinking that it would not be possible to have character based point-allocation if they made the ranks account-bound but now it seems like they actually can, so awesome change!

TY TY TY

Finally i can use another toon without being negatively effected
Don’t get me wrong I love my necro commander, but its not really built for roaming or solo stuff when i need a break

Credit where credit’s due. That is definitely a good addition to WvW and I thank you for it.

But because I am a heartless gamer, when will we be able to get ascended weapons at a reasonable rate in WvW?

Just goes to show you that you can’t please everyone—however, I imagine this change of heart is pleasing to a vast majority of WvW players.

So many times I have wanted to run around with something other than my main alt in WvW…but felt penalized when I did (main toon is almost rank 200) and has maxed out a few traits….felt weaker running around with any other of my toons.

The reasons why WvW rank should be account bound are obvious, but I honestly thought a.net had painted themselves into a corner with their previous repeated statements that this wasn’t going to happen. I’m surprised at this reversal, but pleasantly so.

Now watch them make a trait progression system that forces us all to go farm PvE (yes, previous experiences have made a pessimist of me).

Amazing, well done Anet, I thank you for listening to your players.
I can have so much more freedom in wvw and what character I play now.

I feel this is wrong because of the stacked servers ability to dominate and gain wxp at a greater rate than those under-populated.

Note that some players have accumulated over 2000 levels (probably on some blob heavy karma training server) while others who play similar hours on undermanned servers gain far less.

Is this fair? ANET needs to address this disparity or players will just migrate to the servers who can dominate their tier……

Want to talk about power creep?

Well when you account bound WXP you exacerbate the problem and power differences become far greater……..

Just pointing out some issues that no one seemed to notice…….and you wonder why server stacking occurs and game population starts to dwindle?

Well played by Anet. A small step forward but a step forward nonetheless. I even logged in today.

If Anet continue making player friendly decisions like these I might just come back.

“All earned World XP on an account will be put into a single pool.”

I’m curious as to whether or not they’re going to include the WXP earned by characters that have been deleted.

For example, I had a level 80 human warrior that I played a bunch of WvW with but decided he looked terrible and much preferred the charr equivalent and created a new warrior. I just deleted the human just over a fortnight ago since he was just wasted space.

I’ll certainly feel slightly annoyed if his WXP didn’t count. But then again, it would technically be my fault for deleting him.

That said, I am definitely looking forward to this change. Might even put a little guard leech on my ranger… Sweet, sweet condition damage.

I hope you’re trolling, (and if you do, that was just bad) because this statement here shows that you have little to no idea about wvw.

What, in Balthazar’s flames, account bound wvw exp has to do with power creep and server stacking? Spoiler alert: nothing. It just gives the option for people to play more than one class in WvW, try many new things easier and have more fun in many different ways. Hell, it means roamers may start zerging whenever they feel like, and it means more zergers can start roaming, whenever they feel like.

You’re probably from an under-performing WvW server and you’re just trying to find reasons to cry. Please, keep unreasonable and negative perspectives to yourself, since this is something the community has been dying asking and it’s one of the best decisions Anet has made, along with the Edge of the Mists map and the WvW abilities.

WvW is a totally different place since I started, because Anet is doing a really good job polishing it and offering many new and unique experiences to the WvW playerbase. In my opinion, no one has any reason to cry or to disapprove this.

thank you devon

• i love the method that you guys have implemented for wxp. As a long time MMO player, my fear was reward and gain and having the option to shift the points is a brilliant idea.

Awesome job and thank you for listening to the community

Thanks a lot!
