WvW Scoring

Players fighting against no players will always be "worth" more in potential server score, regardless of time of day. Not easy to fix that unless you want to tell people not to play.

Anet has already remedied most issues with the skirmish system, making 2h in the night with 20 people online equal value to 2h in primetime with 900 people online.

What remains in terms of scoring issues is not nightcap related, its global. Its the T1/2/3 exponentially increasing PPT values.

As I have said many times before, there is one point in time where we see the scoring system work good - matchup reset. Why? Because all objectives are T0 and servers often lie +- 40 PPT of each other. Even if a server ticks the highest, it doesnt mean it will win the skirmish, because activity - ie fights and caps - is a large part of the score as well. PPT helps, but its not the fully deciding factor due to being that much lower overall.

Into the week, this all gets thrown out the window. T3 just sits there ticking massive points, weak servers have no way to overtake the overwhelming advantage of strong servers and activity takes a backseat to PPT.

That is what is wrong with scoring.

Oh, those were the days. Off-hour players are still worth more per capita.Most of these things were implemented. I would not expect, that Anet will make off-hours totally equal to prime time. Because that would meanquality >>> quantityAnd that's the opposite to what this game mode is designed for. Do you really want more salt over casuals, that participate in public zergs? ;)

Anet Wiki: "WvW is designed to accommodate players that would not normally participate in PvP. For instance, the high player limit means that a new player can get involved without immediately feeling pressured to contribute."
