Guild Wars 2

There is a glaring issue i see with WvW as it currently stands and i would like to hear thoughts and views from the pvp community. Several players i have spoke to voice concern for the staying power in rvr. Personally i have no valid opinion on the subject as killing players in rvr is enough to keep me happy and entertained.

So my question to any and all pvp players out there is would you encourage a realm rank style system to be put in place?
Maybe something similar to warhammer or daoc?
Maybe realm abilities or permanant passive buffs useable only in WvW.
I would love to hear thoughts and ideas on how it could be implemented and the benefits of achieving realm ranks for an individual player.
Would it keep people motivated to continue to do WvW even if their particular server is getting dominated by an uneven match up?

I don’t really support any of that.

I would rather ask two simple questions:

Is it fun now?
If it’s not fun now, how can we make it fun?

Adding things like realm abilities, realm ranks, etc, is just a bypass for people not having enough fun. If a game is fun, I play it. I don’t need a new hat or to unlock some new ability every day. People have been playing chess for over 500 years and never once needed to unlock a new ability. Either you like it or you don’t. If you like it, you play it.

If people aren’t liking WvW enough to play it, then let’s ask “what’s not fun about it?”

I wouldn’t mind seeing more stats, of course. I’m a big fan of stats. But unlocking new abilities or new pants could cause problems and you didn’t really address the root problem of the game just not being fun enough to play it without rewards.
