I dunno about it being a “good way”. Each map has 3 skill point challenges (actually I think Eternal Battlegrounds has 4). There are 4 maps, so there are a total of 12 (or 13) skill points available available in WvW.

The skill points are spread out and you can’t get the Stonemist skill point unless your team owns the castle (or unless the doors have otherwise been bashed open already, and nobody is looking).

Frankly, I think the best way to get skill points is to go back to lower level areas and pick up all the skill point challenges you can find there. There’s usually less running involved and nobody will kill you and send you back to spawn. WvW skill points are best obtained during the normal course of WvW (or when your team owns the entire map).

If you are referring to earning skillpoints by leveling, yes WvW is a great way to have fun, do something dynamic, while gaining experience constantly and leveling (thereby earning a skill point that way).

If you are talking about WvW being a good place to earn skillpoints through Skillpoint Challenges, then I have to disagree with you.

And here are the reasons why I disagree:

  1. There are only 3 to 4 Skillpoint Challenges per WvW map
  2. There are literally dozens of Skillpoint Challenges in the PVE maps (take a look at the cartographer’s map: http://gw2cartographers.com)
  3. There is generally an incredibly long wait in the queue before you can get into WvW. My wait time on my world is typically 1 to 3 hours. (It varies heavily.) You could easily be getting other skillpoint challenges during that time.
  4. Some of the skillpoint challenges in WvW are deep in enemy territory or require you to go out of your way (from any real objectives) to complete.
  5. The primary purpose of WvW should not be to get skill points. (If it’s just on your way to battle, go for it.)

On the flip side, it should be noted that all the skillpoint challenges in WvW are all “commune” only ones. Meaning, you don’t have to spend your time fighting any NPC.
