Guild Wars 2

What if there was a new currency that was only obtained by getting a wvw rank. The currency is account bound so getting 1 rank on any character gives your account one of these points. This can then be spent on wvw supplies/wvw gear/ascended gear. For example

1 point = Champions chest (this is not imbalanced as these can be farmed so easily in pve)
1 point = materials bag (contains 2 T6 mats like the laurel bags)
3 points = special material bag (2 items, t6 mats/cores/lodestones)

20 points = ascended ring
20 points = ascended amulet
20 points = ascended accessory
50 points = unique wvw ascended backpiece (make multiple available, unique skins)
1 point = wvw infusion

10 points = unique tier 1 wvw weapon skin
20 points = unique tier 2 wvw weapon skin
50 points = unique tier 3 wvw weapon skin

5 points = tier 1 unique wvw armor skin
15 points = tier 2 unique wvw armor skin
30 points = tier 3 unique wvw armor skin

1 point = 2 ram/balli/ac
2 points = 1 treb/golem
3 points = superior ram/balli/ac
5 points = superior treb/golem

50 points = tier 1 WVW Title (such as Lord of the Battle)
100 points = tier 2 WVW Title (such as Master of war)
200 points = tier 3 WVW rank (such as Turner of tides)
300 points = tier 3 WVW title (such as Destroyer of Worlds)

This could create a situation where people could obtain gear through wvw without having PVE time gating. The current situation is not balanced compared to PVE – compare how quickly you can get ascended rings through fractals to wvw, the later relying on completing dailies instead of a wvw achievement system. This would be time based depending on the contribution to wvw. Obviously people who zerg are goiing to have higher rankings, but in reality this is no different to the current rank or if those people went to pve to zerg invasion events. At last this may give the rest of us a chance to get gear for wvw or mats/gold if required.

Also having additional skins available, such as tiered weapon skins/armor/backpieces will give players something to work towards rather than just a rank they can’t even see themselves or show their allies. Having titles purchasable by WVW ranks, that actually stand out, could be quite an incentive to some players. This is obviously time gated by and would require dedication to get (tier 3 title would require 600 rank points to get to after all… that’s a lot of time) but would be a far better reward than what is currently available.

… slow clap…

This, ANet! Do this!

I suport this, goes with gw2 multiple choices to get an item, good for www-ers. Also I can finaly get my ascendent backpack… yeap I’m still boycotting your stupid fractals.

Of course on the other side anet with theirs relentless effort to move ppl from www to spvp will reply with “we are taking this to consideration” aka fkoff

Although I don’t like having yet another currency in the game, I like it somehow. Now ANet, make it so

Thanks for your response guys!

I thought this at first… another currency would be messy. Then I realized Fractals has multiple and each dungeon has one… if they cannot prioritize WVW over fractals, then we have a problem.

they should remove commander tag for 100g and add commander for this points, problem with noobs running with commander tag around solved

With the latest addition of acc bound wallet adding currencies is no longer a concern.

Slap in another box, done.
