Its long I’m sorry but here goes. Obviously the limit on Skirmish tickets per week and the armor rank requirements have been some of the issues for people with this update. These are just some of my ideas, apologies if anyone already mentioned anything similar.
Why not just implement more uses for Ability points. For example if you’re rank 500 you could unlock an extra 10% WvW experience for 100 ability points, rank 1000/15% for 150 points, and rank 2000/25% max limit for 250points. It rids excess ability points, gives incentive for non wvwers who really want the new items and adds something for the already higher rank vets who are working towards the next extra bonus pip.
Next if vets should get anything faster, skirmish tickets should be the one item that should be. Obviously with the system already implemented that could use ability points/badge/proofs/tickets in which would be added to the Vendors to unlock inside the ability panel. Example being if you’re rank 1k or 2k, you unlock something inside the new vendor costing these currencies in which you buy to unlock for ability points.
Like unlocking something in the vendor at rank 1k which adds 1 ticket inside of the Skirmish chest per chest which would give non wvwers even more incentive to play. Or even unlocking something for higher ranks maybe with requirements around 1.5k to 2k making it so at the end of each skirmish round they are given a Glorious Skirmish Chest, in which rewards 1st with 5 tickets, 2nd with 3, and 3rd with 2.
I say why not actually add something for the vets. Lets be honest the extra pips don’t do much except give vets extra diamond chest, but we all know the tickets are the real goal. Also I understand Anet wants to make it equal to the other game modes time wise, but veteran wvwers have been waiting far too long and deserve a way to attain items they should have had implemented already not take almost 1 or 2 more years to get even being a vet…
Imo being a vet shouldn’t just mean a title on our heads or extra pips that we don’t truly benefit from. It should actually feel like all that time we played for all of these years should be paying off now, now that Anet is showing wvwer’s some much deserved love.
