Winning a Weekly War=useless!

[Straegen.9534]

ANet has done this system in WvW before with Seasons. Every season a bunch of players stacked a server so they could clean up the loot. Same thing will happen, players will always figure out the best way to game a system to get rewards the easiest and fastest.

And playing video games is useful?

Yeah, either something like that or fix that issue with stacked servers, I don't care, I would just want something to actually motivate players in playing to win 1st place.

The skirmish chests are your participation trophies mate. enjoy them!

You misunderstood me, I'm not speaking about rewarding partecipation, I'm speaking about rewarding a 1st place. Partecipation rewards can be obtained even (and better) if you are in last place, that is wrong.

Ok then, explain to us how your sole participation led to your server's top rank? your astounding individual static fields? did you root the commander at the height of an engagement and turned the tide of battle? or did you contribute to a server war chest to buy guilds? Did you show some cleavage to attract them thirsty boys to your server? please remind us why your wvw activity led to first place?

When did I say that my sole partecipation lead my server to top rank? I didn't say anything like that.

If they put a meter to see if you partecipate in wvw that week, yes, I want to be rewarded for being on a stacked server since I put effort for winning.

The implication of your effort for winning.I wasn't implying anything like that. I put it simple, to get partecitation bonus I can only escort dollys and cap camps and afk, 0 effort in that. That's easier if done in low tiers (less exp enemies to care about), thus current system needs something (more than simple "prestige") to motivate players in putting real effort for being in high tiers.

Unfortunately the history of WvW has already proven: It only motivates a lot of people to select any server as "the future winner" and spend 500gems for a transfer. And as more than enough think so it's self-fullfilling prophecy.
