WvW Season/Tournament 2015?
Just about every single full time WvW player hates this idea, it destroyed server balance, flooded map ques, brought in tons of pve players just looking for rewards so they could get skins, and burned out tons of commanders..
The idea of tokens is nice, but I think Im safe to say the majority of us DO NOT want another Tourney.

I can understand how server stacking can cause lopsided matches but Wvw tournmaent in NA at least was incredibly enjoyable – Specially T1.
All 3 servers fought extremely hard and the victor was not decided until the very last week.
Well, a large concern among many is that there isn’t a point to have a tournament that won’t be competitive, and for a lot of servers that’s just the case. Cross tier fights just don’t work atm for many cases.
There is an interesting suggestion that was brought up here though: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/When-Will-We-See-Another-WvW-SEASON/5129284
Essentially, there would be “push week” just for that which would be a standard matchup. This would carry with it the same incentives and rewards but also keep the matchups more balanced relatively speaking.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

I have the same concern about the competitiveness of WvW in its current state and proposed a new Matched Entry system which would give smaller servers a leveled playing field and bring WvW competitiveness back.

I have addressed some concerns and would appreciate any feedbacks.
This is not designed in order to bring back a Tournament, just the competitiveness.

-_- I don’t think you want legitimate feedback, only someone to say it’s a great idea and to make lots of posts
As for this thread, there isn’t much to more to say, it isn’t remotely a real tournament in any way and caused a lot of damage overall.
Well in that case, WvW should have weekly rewards, active players should be awarded Hero weapon tickets. Now what can be up for debate is what is considered “Active”
and what all one needs to do in order to qualify for these rewards.
While Server stacking will always be an issue, I hope that doesn’t deter players from seeing tournaments negatively.
There is a reason why its a 3 way battle, the 2 weaker servers can team up on the stacked one, to keep a balance. Many strategies can be used by smaller servers when it comes to maintaining PPT.
On a related note, I’d like the ability to trade my Tourney tickets for Mini Llamas. I have no use for the WvW skins, so I have a ton of tickets just sitting in my bank. But I have a lot of uses for a Llama.
In GW2, Trading Post plays you!

Wat?

Where is it? Its been well over a year since we had a tournament…
At this rate, getting the hero’s weapons will take 10+ years…Please allow us to farm the tournament tokens weekly, maybe 5 per week or something…
I see it differently than some who “don’t want another WvW season”.
I too play WvW more than any other game mode and when I don’t do other things I don’t make as much gold that’s true – everyone knows that being in WvW isn’t a gold haven but it is still the real “end game” and a huge world untapped as far as cooperation and teambuilding – but I still have high hopes.
Server pride at winning is a huge morale boost.

Nailed it. No more tournies until they fix coverage and population problems.

I think they should make tournaments every 10 weeks. 5 weeks tourny, 5 weeks break time. Repeatable achivements with nice rewards and just a little gift for the server. Something like finishers and a few bonus chest.
We, wvw players burn out because we work 20 times more and still gain the same reward.
There should be a special tournament wvw title track. You gain points for doing things, kill people, flip things, stop caravans… And as you progres you gain new titels. World defender, world protector, legend of the world, destroyer of the worlds…

You’re in T1, right? Just convince the three T1 server leaders to treat the next 4 (or whatever) weeks as fully competitive. Since T1 servers are effectively locked in terms of matchups, you don’t have to worry about matchmaking messing up the tournament.
Plus, you can make your own rules — for example, 3 points for win, 0 points for 2nd and 3rd place … or whatever you think is appropriate to make the tournament competitive.
This is actually a win for everyone. T1 gets their tournament, and other tiers don’t have to suffer through weeks of matchups even more ridiculously unbalanced than the ones we normally have.
what is the point of Tournament if we can certainly guess the winner already…

Locking transfers prior to any season announcement.
This is essential for a season to proceed without mass bandwagon onto, and then later, off of a server.
I for one would be interested to see how the new T2 would fair against the new T1 in Gold. I think that FA would have a decent shot at pushing a T1 server. And I definitely think that any week that had YB/FA versus a T1 server would be interesting(if YB/FA could retire the mutual disdain for that week anyway).
Silver might be very interesting as well with SBI, Mag, HoDb, and the now resurgent CD in the mix.
I admit I know nothing of Bronze, but Gold and Silver would be interesting to watch.
