Guild Wars 2

I was wondering what you guys think of awarding wxp for ordering upgrades?
The numbers awarded can be balanced but here are my suggestions:
ordering a t1 upgrade: 50wxp camps/towers, 100 for keeps
ordering a t2 upgrade: 250wxp camps/towers, 500 for keeps
ordering a t3 upgrade: 1000wxp camps/towers, 2500 for keeps
Especially for keeps ordering t3 is quite expensive compared to the average income in wvw.

Decent idea, I’ll give it a /bump.

Certainly would give people incentive to protect dolyaks and to upgrade things…but I would double the WXP rewards.

I like this idea. And I also agree with Madora.

This change > Stuff gets upgraded > Stuff is harder to karma train > Karma trainers stop doing WvW > Devon Carver can’t claim that WvW has ever increasing participation anymore.

Nope.

Bad idea, sometimes starting an upgrade is a bad idea, especially if its a bad one to start.

For instance starting merchants when you haven even started walls is a bad idea.

Best to leave that for the commander to decide which upgrade they want started.

Or stating cannons and morters before walls is also equally as bad depending on the keep and situation.

Sounds like a good idea.

well, a lot of stuff we get WxP for is a bad idea.

Sometimes it is stupid to start any kind of upgrade because you will end up competing with the upgrade for supply you need for basic siege you need to hold the objective at all. You will end up losing the whole thing because of the upgrade.

But still, there should be some payback for paying for the upgrade.

How about some wxp for ordering the upgrade.. something low.. and for the actual completion of the upgrade.. then give the rest of the wxp

Or even better yet, reward the people who purchase it, the people who give workers swiftness, and people who defend it during the upgrade should also get a little bonus (all when it finishes). Personally I hate seeing that the DE for an upgrade is done and knowing that no one gets anything for it.

I think it’s a pretty good idea. Firstly boosting alts for gold, well it should be possible one way or another, in these alt unfriendly times.

Secondly the gold goes to the community, all benefit.

Thirdly it be a moneysink, as others would tear down what you just paid for, but at least the game rewarded you for your altruism.

The game needs more rewards for defensive play. This could help. As soon as zerging becomes less profitable than other styles of play wvw i’ll be happy.
