Probably there should be a mechanic which, as soon as someone gains some wxp (say 200wxp), he cannot change the map for some time (<one hour).
So you can enter a map and check around a bit and see whats going on, capture a camp and kill two dollies and maybe realize you want to change map which is fine.
You can also hop maps and cap a camp or two, so the mechanic would not be too restrictive.
But as soon as you capture a tower (gaining over 200wxp) the system will start your personal timer preventing you from entering another wvw map.
Practically you enlisted yourself for that particular map by gaining a certain amount of wxp.
just an idea
This won’t end well…

I don’t know if you’ll read this but if you do -
It’s really refreshing to have a member of a company/team reply so often and with great clarity to issues that players have. After dealing with some awful companies over my gaming years, it’s truly a great thing to know that there is at least one forum mod in the entire gaming community who replies like an actual human.
Keep up the good work

I got the idea for this thread from several observations. The main one being my own behavior in this forum. While I am generally a very kind person, this forum as with many I have been a part of, can bring out my smart kitten side pretty quick. When I stepped back and evaluated that, I came to the conclusion that I was being overly judgmental of others that play the game.
Yes there are a lot of posts I don’t agree with or that I think are just plain ridiculous. However, in real life if I hear someone say something in public that I think is stupid I don’t get into some debate over why I think what they said was wrong. I just go about my business and often think to myself that I hope they have a better day. I don’t care for constant complaining but it really gets too much when I find myself complaining about complaints.
So reflecting on all these posts I have been involved in and, admittedly rude at times, I started thinking about the person on the other side of the screen that I can’t see. I thought about how I felt as I purchased and downloaded the game. How excited I was once the install was complete and when I first made my first character. So then I thought about this other mysterious person living in wherever and I imagined they felt the same as I at one point. I started thinking that this is a real person that wakes up everyday just like me and they want to have a good day which in many cases means enjoying the game.
The thing about the Internet, and I found this out early during the USNET years, is that since you can’t see that person you forget that they have feelings as well. It’s easy to forget that maybe they just had a bad day and an unpleasant gaming experience later in the day was kind of the final straw leading to rage posting on the boards. It’s easy to forget that when they click the login button they want to have fun also. It’s the reason for playing a game and people like to have fun.
So where am I going with this? I thought it would be a good idea to brain storm some random acts of (kindness) in game to maybe make that random person smile for a second, maybe make their day a little better.
Here are a few things I have done:
*When I see a player that is obviously new and low level running around lost, I help them for a minute. Then later on I mail them a few coins and or maybe a piece of armor they could use. I simply write “Welcome to GW2” and attach the coin/item. I imagine as a new player something like that might give them a brief smile.
*If I see a downed player in PvE I rez them and if they are not down leveled I mail them some coin with a note that says, “Thought you could use some coin to help with your repairs.”
*I shadow obvious new players and only jump in if they get in a real dicy situation then disappear and do it again for a bit.
*I’m maxed on cooking skill so when I get low level cooking mats that don’t sell for much I’ll just mail them to some random name I see in my area with a note that says,“I bet you are hungry after all your travels.”
*I haven’t done this yet but I think once a day when I see some negative posts here I’ll just send one of those people that are unhappy some small gift. Something that has been in my bank and I will never use or sell. (Disclaimer: Please don’t start posting negative threads just to have a chance at a prize. )
Anyway, these are the main things I do but I’m looking for more and hope others will share ideas and participate. The thought isn’t to give your bank away but just some small token of (kindness) that might just make someone think, “That was nice.” even if just for a minute.
tl;dr
I’ve been rather rude here at times and I apologize. I’m really a pretty decent person in real life. I think most here on both sides of arguments are as well. The idea is fun and to some degree I am guessing when everyone logs in each day the idea is to add something pleasant to their day. So let’s help random people out with that.
Please share other ways myself and others might just send our own little “token” to random players as a way of saying in game, “Hope you are having a good day.”
P.S. (kindness) due to overly aggressive language filter.

you get a random zerg following you for a while in wvw, till they reealise you dont actually know what you are doing then they disperse
