Ok.. then raise the cost of precursors for gen 1 legendaries. They are significantly lower cost today then they were three years ago. The cost of a gen one legendary continues to drop. Despite the rise in mystic coin prices. - Farm gold, buy them. - Do WvW skirmish tracks to get 6 a week. - log in - Do the mystic coin daily event That’s.. what, just from playing around 75 per month that actually don’t cost money.... 4 months you have more than a stack. In 7 months you have two stacks. If you want it faster, but it.

Well, now you know the option: put in an uptempo metal head playlist and go wreck them after you get up. Problem solved.

> @"Charley.1489" said: > Is there any server now in wvw where people actually tag up and make an effort? No if you mean PPT. Well, that’s not completely correct. On NA there is SoS/YB. Maybe a couple in EU. An effort to find fights? Many of the servers do. Which is also why many of them will only PPT in limited fashion: to get a server who only PPTs to actually fight over something.

There are also a lot of exploits, probably double that of bugs, but I'm not going to list them here so as not to encourage people to abuse things that they don't need to know about. Out of curiosity (and I am not thinking it will make a difference) have you posted exactly this list in the bugs forum? Some of these I know, some are new to me. And I know people have posted many of them in here (WvW forum) over the years, but slapping it up in the big section might (.0001 probability factor) get someone’s attention.

> @"Excursion.9752" said: > Just curious how coverage would work? Even at higher tiers with full populations there can be giant gaps in content. If they did go smaller how would you deal with the possible boredom from no one to fight? They wouldn’t be smaller. In fact, the potential is some of the ‘worlds’ could end up being fewer and larger.

> @"primatos.5413" said: > kitten they just forgot to fix it.. Actually, it wouldn’t allow you to Target things inside the tower at one point, and within the last 18 months (ish as I know someone will have the actual date: here’s looking at YOU @"Balthazzarr.1349" )the developers changed it to its current function. Also, if you are dying to barrage.......(more to the OP that you @"primatos.5413" )

To the OP: - will there be ‘gaming the system? Yes - Will there be population disparity? Yes - Will coverage still rule? Yes But ask yourself: how does a guild actually recruit players for WvW? The current system encourages those guild to bandwagon to open servers, recruit people from those servers and their links, while making the jump again , to open servers to recruit. With alliances, if someone sees your guild and they like it, and the guild has space, they can select that guild for WvW selection so during the next world formation, they go with the guild. Anet has effectively crippled Guilds in WvW. They need to give something back.

If you just do "alliance-link" you just killed alliance identity just like server-link killed server identity. You would identify with your alliance.

You said earlier it would be ‘too big’ to create relationships with people yet, when I note they are smaller than servers, you say it won’t work., > There will be worlds (alliances) stronger and everyone will know which one and there will be weaker worlds and everyone will know which one. As soon as the matchup begin, you already know: "Ok this world will win, and this one will lose". Of course their will be alliances stronger than others. Just like our current tier system. And you don’t know that now? > > You need more worlds and **smaller** worlds to create an healthy and interesting competitive scene. Which prevents people from having coverage and creates empty maps.

> @"Gudradain.3892" said: > No, it won't work. The main reason is that there is not enough population. That is what makes it so Allianced MAY work. Population flux is what can make this potentially successful. > > We barely have enough population to fill 12 servers. So, at the maximum, we will have enough population to fill 12 alliances... With so few participants, it's not very fun. For starters, it would be likely 2 alliances per ‘world’ And the number of ‘worlds’ will be dependent on overall population. So, there may only be 9 worlds (3tiers) or there may be more if enough people (5 tiers etc) > > Also, an alliances would be too big. The goal of an alliance would be to create a sense of community. But, to create a sense of community you have to know the other players and the amount of players needed to fill all 4 maps is way too big to know nearly everyone, or even a decent portion of the players in your alliance. You will basically be fighting with strangers... So, an ‘Alliance’ of 500 people would be too big? And again, one alliance wouldn’t have to fill 4 maps. Likely it would be two alliances with some unaffiliated guilds and random single players that would make up a ‘world’ > > The requirement to fill 4 maps, instead of 1, doomed WvW from the start. It really didn’t. But maybe at some point in the future that would change.

Or.... just destroy it.

How many new areas have stuns and CC locks? I mean, level 1-15 areas? Maybe it’s just me, but that’s not a typical starter area. Which tells me either OP went into an area above their level, or they are in sPvP.

With the exceptions of the very vocal special people in team chat, most people I have encountered in WvW are helpful. Continue to work with people. You may even forge lasting game friendships. Hint: if you run close to the Warclaw, you get a speed buff that helps you keep up, called ‘Warclaw’s Blessing’. Also, swap out a trait or skill that gives you speed buffs (may have a couple depending on your class), so you can keep closer to other Warclaw players. You might lose a little damage or defense, but there is safety in numbers. (Literally and figuratively) Oh, and yes, many of us are a little salty about the lack of attention. That being said, it isn’t directed at you specifically, more the idea and concept of being provided even a shred of respect by the developers.

I’ll leave this here again: I think Anet has chosen the two most populous servers on NA and EU and set them as the ‘population control’ points. For example: BG sits at 50000 play hours (not real numbers, examples) Anyone who hits that play hour threshold goes ‘full’. BG drops to 40,000? They stay full and any server that is above that new threshold is ‘full’. If, the algorithm fails and BG opens, they close it as soon as they recognize it within that day. It does a few things: - keeps the evil empire closed - Makes more worlds appear full - Makes WvW look more populated - Creates more opportunities to drive people to link servers spreading out population - Pushes transfers for more gems. But, who knows. Makes me wonder if Gandara is the EU control.

WvW has been like that on and off for several years.

It makes it *better* but not always good. 3 ways in small spaces are horrendous in WvW.

Both times it was mostly due to buying large volumes of materials from the TP. Once just by coincidence I was able to spend exactly what I had down to the last copper on a buy order. Another time I had a tiny bit left and for some reason decided it would be a good idea to go to Dry Top (which at the time was still very active) to get more gold. I waypointed in during the sandstorm, got killed and the reduced waypoint cost used up the last bit of my money, then got killed _again_ and got to use it for free. > > After that though we killed the champion dust mite twister and I managed to survive a couple more battles and ended up with some coin and an inventory full of stuff to sell. Admittedly I could have just sold some materials i already had in the bank, but since I was in the middle of a big crafting project I didn't want to do that. (What I should have done was just headed into the nearest map and gathered whatever was growing there to sell, but I think at the time a champion train seemed like a better idea.) That’s some good stuff Dani. I never realized that. I have been so fearful of spending my last copper, not because I didn’t think I could revive, but because it took me sooooo long in game to get to having more than a gold.... (yeah, I just didn’t get the whole selling stuff on the TP for months......)

Big difference is: you want to make it Easier. Again, WvW has little left in the area of legitimacy. Don’t take the remnants. There is NO scenario that you can convince me that would be ‘harmless’. You didn’t respond to my earlier post saying: > @"Strider Pj.2193" said: > So, to support your search for legendary items **on multiple accounts**, you want to establish the process to legitimately allow people to manipulate matchups, potentially create kill trading ease, And / or shred any remaining speck of legitimacy of WvW? > > That kind of sum it up? It’s a hard no from me.
