Guild Wars 2

One thing about WvW it seems like the same teams play each other week after week. Now, I’m all for rivalries and stuff. But it’s getting rather monotonous to play against the same team 5 weeks in a row.

Why not expand the tiers and have a two week schedule. It would give the WvW more of a tournament style feel instead of a more boring “climb the ladder” approach we have now.

Lets say the top and second tier are 9 teams each. In the first week, the schedule is random selection of all teams and map locations in their chosen tier.

The second week all the “1st” place teams fight for a two week title. In the second tier, the top two teams of the “1st” place group would be promoted to tier 1.

The “2nd” place teams fight with the 3rd place team in that matchup being relegated. In the second tier, the winner of the “2nd” group match would be promoted.

The “3rd” place teams would fight for the right to avoid relegation, having the winner stay in the tier and the bottom 2 teams being dropped a tier.

The 3rd tier in the EU would be 9 teams and could have a similar setup minus the relegation.

The 3rd tier in the US could be more complex with only 6 teams. But you could split the two 2nd place teams by scoring and have that top scoring 2nd place team join the 1st place teams in a battle for 2 promotion spots; and you can have the lower scoring 2nd place team join the 3rd place teams for the one promotion slot.

It may look complicated at first. but once you wrap you head around it, I think you’ll see that it does make sense and would add spice to the WvW matches.

I would love to see a tournament style idea, this would also give the servers who have been abandoned a new chance to get back in the game.

No, how do you think 1v4v7 would be a good match up???
The difference between t1 coverage and t3 is massive. But it’s the same all around you see a team stomp their tier move up get stomped back down rinse and repeat.
Yes the top tiers are going to be similar next week (there is still time for SOS to pass bg). Also on ioj we need to keep our ppt up to not drop, if we gave up we would fall. So there’s some movement at the top again.
Kinda rambled but point is the ranking system places around equal servers no one enjoys a blow out winners and losers are bored

I think a better idea is to just merge eu and na servers.. This will give variety and solve nightcapping problems

This cannot happen soon enough
