Guild Wars 2

I was just thinking of a way we might be able to reward those individuals in WvW who really contribute a lot without getting adequate rewards.

I’m talking about the Mesmers that will hide in a keep for 30 minutes or the Treb-guys who keep Stormmist open at every moment. The guys who spend hours on watch to report incomings and those who spend real gold on upgrading our fortifications.

What if the WXP flasks that were dropped in WvW couldn’t be consumed by ourselves? Instead they could be sent to any other player who is currently online and in WvW. They would only exist for an hour or so and would not be tradeable of the trade-post.

These flasks could then be used to reimburse those under-appreciated individuals at any time.

Sure, selfish guilds and people might just pass them among each other or they might be traded directly instead. But at least there’d be a way to reward those who remain otherwise unrewarded.

The idea is actually from SWTOR PvP where you could reward someone after a match who you thought deserved it most. This was done because any scoring system is flawed in the way it measured contribution and this way the community can compensate for that.

This is a really good idea, imo.

I think it is a good idea. I think it would be abused for people sending hundreds to a person leading a zerg, then you might get a flood of people trying to lead zergs, but that’s not really of my concern.

Roamers/small teamers do a lot for WvW, I think it would be neat to actually see them get rewarded.

I like this idea however I would still like the option of either consuming it yourself or sending it to a fellow wvw’er. The problem I see is that only those most vocal in map chat would end up receiving them and those smaller groups might go unnoticed and therefore they wouldn’t receive any anyways.

Still would like the option.
