Guild Wars 2

What is the point of World Ranks when enemy servers can invite you to party and talk to you? Are World Ranks suppose to hide your character’s name?

World ranks just let the enemy know how often you play/zerg. Think of it as your /played time, only it’s for WvW and it’s visible to everyone.

Well. from what the folks at Anet have said its starting off as a rank and passive ability system. but in the near future there are going to be WvW only Abilities and trait lines for wvw…which will really make things fancy.

A large group of people felt like they weren’t accomplishing anything in WvW unless they were given some type of pointless progression system, and thus World Ranks were introduced.

Also what is the point of having world ranks that even your home server cannot see your title?

There is no point. The sheeple needed another reason to keep playing, since zerging the same towers over and over became a pointless exercise.

The ranks are just there as a bonus to promote the new point system, 1 rank = 1 point, those points are used to gain bonus attributes with siege/in wvw general. the rank itself does nothing, but the points you earn with each rank speak for themselves, arrowcart range bonus is a must have!!

Best answer

But take note that a good number of players play different classes so ranks may not exactly equate to skill.

Ranks and skill are about as close as day is to night. It’s a reflection on your ability to to kill guards/towers, it has nothing to do with the ability to play the game with any level of skill.
