Guild Wars 2

Slamz, this is the second time you’ve drawn a correlation between the people that want to keep the scoreboard with people that quit when their server is losing. Frankly, you have nothing to indicate your statement is true, and as one of the people you’re referring to, I’m saying you’re wrong.

Based on what I’ve seen and heard in game, folks who WvW love fighting towards an end goal (even if it’s just for 2nd place). And those who are advocating change in this thread represent a small portion of the overall population.

Nope, not what I’m saying at all. Allow me to simplify my thoughts:

1. I like the scoreboard, and believe it enhances competition and server pride. Taking it out is not worth the harm to a competitive environment just because some people might get their feelings hurt when they’re on the losing side.

2. If the scoreboard was taken out, anet would likely lose me as a customer for the cash shop and future expansions.

This suggestion sounds just like the ill-fated ideas to not keep score for sports games or making sure everyone gets a trophy. I do not agree with those ideas or yours, which only serve to reduce competition to protect people from feeling bad about themselves for losing.

Speaking for myself, I find myself logging into GW2 on a daily basis because I want to help make sure my server remains ahead in the scores. If there was no scoreboard I would probably lose a large amount of interest in this game in general, and possibly enough to cause me to stop playing and not purchase future expansions.
