Guild Wars 2

Was reading the thread and just felt the need to comment after reading " A giant like Borlis Pass" BP is tiny, we keep getting put in this bracket every other rotation because we do not have the people to properly compete in the next bracket up, and don’t let anyone fool you, “tactics” don’t come into play in the lower brackets, it’s all about numbers. If the number of combatants was even, then yeah, doing things to split the enemy up would be meaningful, but it’s not, BP can afford half their force off somewhere else, we’ll still outnumber kaineng and devonas and that is why the chart is what it is. Similarly, next week, we’ll be trying to get the server that massively outnumbers us to send people off to other things while we attempt to capture something and fail horribly due to being outnumbered.

My largest complaint is with loot in WvWvW. I started trying to play a support engineer, staying in the back buffing and healing friends while killing enemies from range. The problem I quickly ran into is that after ~100 kills I had gotten NO loot, NO badges of honor, NO reward for all the effort and participation I had put in. Now I go around with pistol and shield and flamethrower with juggernaut and kill people at the front trying my hardest to snipe finishers just so I can get something out of WvWvW.
The simplest solution to this problem would be to allow honor badges to be awarded to anyone who participated in killing an enemy, not just the person who achieved the last hit. This would promote more people taking up support roles and would allow people who prefer ranged weapons to use them at range and not feel like they are wasting their time. Being able to get something from participating in kills without having to have a fast connection to snipe the finisher would also promote more people to stick with WvWvW which could help with balancing participation differences between high and low population servers.
In the end, I would just like to gear up with +healing gear, run around with an elixir gun, and still be able to get more then a tiny amount of karma and copper from capping a supply camp as my only return from WvWvW and I’m sure I’m not the only person who enjoys being support and still earning badges towards that nice pvp gear.
