This is my personal opinion of how to make WvW the best form of MMORPG PvP
I know this system seems like a bad idea at first, but in all honesty, it’s been apparent that WvW needs Elasticity in the scores.
What i mean by that is, if one team is falling behind, it needs some form of advantage that scales depending on how far behind your score is.
A Buff to attack and defense is the obvious one, it’d mean that the moral of the loosing team would stay high even if they were loosing so they’d be more inclined to attack, and the winning team would have to realize that if they have had a good game so far, it means that they will have to work at it now.
Say that the leader was 10k ahead, this would kick in the first level of the buff, say +5%. (this is an example, numbers can be changed) for each 5 or 10k points the team falls behind, this buff increase by an extra +5%. If they take the Tally lead (as in, they hold the most locations kind) then the buff is halved. This will last for as long as the gap remains larger than the bracket. (for example, if they are 10k points behind, they would only gain the +5% for as long as their points stayed 10k lower than the leading server)
I suggest this because… well, the best fights have always been the ones that are close.. really tight matches that mean that you end the game with a 100 point gap. THAT would be a bloody fantastic game..
However, most of the games finish with a 200’000+ GAP between the top and bottom, with somewhere between 50’000 and 100’000 for mid and bottom.. 100 points is ridiculous, but most games should aim to be in the 10k-20k margin for them to feel like good matchups in my opinion
So… yeah, that is what i feel would be the best solution, at least for the moment
