Guild Wars 2

The one thing we DONT want right now or even this year is a WvW tournament!
Why you ask? Well last time players all tried to get into the top ranked server, or at least the top 3 ranked servers. But now we have server linking, and new WvW tournament will cause players to move to the lowest ranked servers in the hopes of being linked with the top 3 ranked servers!
And let us not forget that server populations are now based on WvW activity. BUT this does not included the players who have left the game who are still linked to their server. So imagine players trying to get some of their friends who have not played for years back on. This will make all servers more active, and with the top ranked servers being more populated, they will receive the most recomers.
It would be disastrous! As it would tip over the way servers are linked. It would make things worse rather than better. Yet it will make WvW active for those few weeks, but the unbalanced populations, one of THE MAIN issues we’ve always complained about, IS STILL THERE!
All a new WvW Tournament will do, is make more people leave once it’s finished.

Where on earth is this rant even coming from? Have they said that we’re gonna have a tournament or something? Because last time I checked, never gonna happen ever again.

Over the last couple of months, people have been posting about having WvW tournaments in several threads. People think getting WvW active for a few weeks is the same as fixing it’s problems, they dont seem to realise that a tournament would make things worse right now.

Hmmm I loved the tournaments. I was able to play my game mode only and get a couple of accessories. I remember wvwvw being active and I was in sorrows at the time…. No where near a tier 1. It would be nice to have some action again, even if for a few weeks only…

Anet themselves said that every time there was a WvW tournament, there was a permanent drop in population after. So don’t get your hopes up.

Nope but a competitive day once a week wouldn’t hurt. Prizes etc large enough that everyone feels rewarded even losing. Can also be issued to anyone who reaches a participation level in wvw that week even if they miss the competition day.
