I thought about this a bit, and so do these late night players consider all the “normal” people to be daycapping them? It’s not really the time of the day that’s the problem, it’s the overall population at the time. Capping during a prime time is not easy, points are earned and defended with large groups of players making coordinated efforts. Capping at off times can be small groups just effortlessly taking points because there’s little to no competition on the entire map, sometimes taking over almost the entire WvW zone while everyone else is asleep/work/etc.
Imo, some system that reduces point worth based on the overall population currently playing. If every place is 100% packed, you get full points. If there’s only 10% in the zone because it’s super late at night, you get… some amount less. There would be need to be some balance there to keep the overall point score the same as now, since it does affect the bonuses and such. Basically if all your points come from capping while you have no opposition, you get a good deal less points than you would if you had to actively push and defend during more active times.
Right now you could have similar scores with 1 server that has a big prime time population, fighting and defending large battles vs the other 2, and have another server who puts up low scores during prime time, have a similar total score at the end of the week just by taking points with little opposition at night. I think that’s what really annoys people about “nightcapping”. Losing to a server you aren’t fighting, who isn’t having to fight for their points with anywhere the difficulty as you are.
