Guild Wars 2

jimmyimo.2089:

How can you blame quitters for not wanting to play with people using mindless tactics? The entire point system is broke, simple. Fix that, and you fixed every thing.

Well, its not always that the other players quit because of mindless tactics, sometimes they are just outplayed and ragequit. quitting on your team should never be encouraged in a game, and at the moment the fact that there are no penalties for it breaks the game as much as the broken point system.

The PvP point system at the moment encourages people to just mindlessly charge in a huge group and intentionally lose cap points so they can charge it again for extra glory points.

My suggestions

Standing at a cap point you own actually gives you points every 20 or so seconds (5-10 points) This encourages players to actually stay at a capped point, instead of just charging away.

Objective defender should be counted from a larger area than the small cap circle.

Match win bonus should be allot higher, about 3-4x bigger.

Include a penalty system for AFK:ers and rage quitters and ditch the stupid autobalance, or at least make it so that when the other team has gotten over 300 points or so the autobalance wont occure anymore. Its just stupid that players who contributed and played well are punished because of rage quitting players in the other team.

" I don’t think anyone should get points for just standing there. "
Then dont make a domination style PVP for peats sake…

to be honest, if you are going to make the PVP revolve around domination gametype, protecting a spot should give points. for your dedication to vigilance.
