Just a little thought I had.
What if gw2 had a reputation system like in other rpgs. You could gain reputation or loose reputation by helping certain races, tribes or military organizations ect.
Each reputation progress would be split into tiers and each tier would unlock rewards and new missions/quests/hearts or events you can do for them.
Rewards I was thinking the following.
Town clothing
Armour skins
Transformation potions
Weapon skins
Crafting recipes
Pets
Minis
Stuff for your home instance
Titles
Achievements
Emotes?
and more.
There should be an option of choice. Let’s say you choose to help a certain skritt faction, but that means you won’t be able to help a hylek faction since they don’t like each other. So when you choose to aid or grow in a faction the merchants on the other faction will become unavailable. It should be possible to do several factions in the same time. This will give a new meaning to explore the older areas. Perhaps if your ranking is high enough you get access to special locations that are only bound to that faction.
If you have a high or low enough standing the npcs from that area would react differently to you, respect, love, hate ect. It would add more fun things to do in pve, and will give a greater purpose for your character.
If you have any suggestion you would like to add to this idea please do so!
