You first need to establish why a server who is currently dominating the number of capped points, doesn’t deserve that fact to be reflected in their PPT score.
In a genuine three way battle, the only difference you solution will make is to lessen the perceived winning margin.
Server G may genuinely be a dominate server, but the cap will make it appear that they are not that far ahead. The other servers will only take mild remedial action, then wonder why they are still losing.
In the specific example you give of one server being a long way behind, what if this is actually the case? That is, they can only ever field a small group, and are not a genuine chance in any time zone. You’d then have forced draws, even if one server is capping more points – in that sense winning.
The other thing you need to consider is the point of view of the guilds / players where a large PPT can be gained. They spend hours capping the point, organising between guilds and across maps, and want that effort reflected in the score/PPT. E.g., a server has have 2/3rds of the points, they should have massive PPT lead. Conversely, how does a ‘losing’ PPT server make assessments how how much work they need to do to make up the difference and gain the lead PPT. Making up a 100 PPT deficit could now mean they have to take the whole map back, or just take a keep and a few towers.
“My timezone(NA) has plenty of player;s it’s the non-NA players where the problem is.. all the oceanics can still PvD to their hearts content- they just wont get thousands of points ahead by doing it”
If I can put this argument back to you: the current score doesn’t impact, in anyway, how you play the game. you can still WvW to your hearts content, and get as many points as you deserve for it.
The implicit assumption is that players outside the ‘prime’ (read N/A) time zones, are not real players and aren’t deploying the same tactics or strategies of the N/A player base. They still need to make decisions about what to attack, and how to manage the enemy presence, and push advantages when there is little or no defence. We are playing the same game as you – it doesn’t change depending on what side of the earth is facing the sun.
