The Lethe.2953 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 X-post from reddit. I don't believe alliances is enough to help WvW. The end result is just changing who we fight and who we fight with. The current server matching already does that. (yes alliances will help with timezone imbalances, but for my actual play experience, not as much). Make WvW what it always should have been. More about the guilds!! The easiest way to do that would be about what computers do very well, crunch numbers and present data! (Fit Bit and other health tracker/runner junkies will understand this very well). **Give my guild our WvW stats!** Show me where we stack up in kills, defenses, captures, revives, etc to other guilds on our world and across all guilds in WvW (NA/EU). Show us how many points our world earned since we captured bloodlust. Show us how big of an impact we made in this timezone. Give the guild medals for punching above our weight (i.e. earning higher ppt or K/D ratio than other larger guilds in our world. Give the guild medals for spending more time outmanned than any other guild. Give scouts a weekly bonus they can redeem for something, loot, wvw exp, if they are in the top 20% (or a set time) of shared squad participation. Let the guild exchange the medals for guild hall decorations, titles for all guild members, or Capes with our guild emblem on it (shoulder armor pieces). **Make a true leaderboard showing the guilds with top stats, filterable by all kinds of categories.** K/D, PPT enabled (not just captured but held after we captured it, bloodlust earned, kills due to that bloodlust, combat res/revives, yaks escorted, hours scouted, # of disables used, # of supply traps, etc. I want the weekly and previous weeks WvW stats to be sorted so that the guild's biggest impact shows up as a prominent feature in the guild page. In short, **I want my guild to see the difference we make. I want us to be able to set measurable goals for ourselves. I want to be able to have the game show us how we actually did. I want us to be able to see that we mattered. I want the week's ending to actually matter to us.** Make Thursday/Friday worth putting effort in so we can reach our goal.

Jarvia.4327 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 There is a ranking already. If you look at the Salty Beavers post you will see it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysdude.3824 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Its a great idea if implemented well with some of the considerations from MUDse. Might bring some personal/team pride back to WvWvW, maybe a little competitive spirit. Not to mention, it would also help guilds/players that actually want to improve or contribute.

SweetPotato.7456 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 good idea, how about let My guild progress on what I do in WvW alone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
