Hey Anet, add 25 silver to each tournament chest reward.
We pvpers constantly complain about not having a way to earn money and rewards that are usefully outside of the mists and you have said that you hope to address this. Placing money in the toury chests is a super easy way to do this. I personally average about four tpvp games an hour, and win only 50% of those games. 50 silver for an hours of play is not the most efficient way to farm gold. Aside from the initial influx of players who have saved up chests this shouldn’t hurt your economy very much. And if tons of players start playing tpvp to make gold that’s a good thing! We need more people in the pvp community. It can’t be abused in hotjoins like skyhammer glory farmers and it’s probably pretty easy to implement.
Another pvp improvement I think you guys could make would be to normalize character sizes in pvp. This wouldn’t be a quick and easy change, like adding silver to tourny chests, and it could kitten a lot of people off but I think it would help the game out overall. Lower the size of Char and Norns, increase the size of Asura. Humans should be the standard. All races should not be the same size, but in pvp they should be closer than they are currently. I also think it would be beneficial to lower the size of some of the larger nerco and ranger minions, pets, and spirits. Two of the biggest complaints I see on these forums are screen clutter and not being able to properly see casting animation. This should help both.
Now I can more easily pick out that Asura necromancer from his minions and interrupt his heal. Now when two Norn mesmers are on one point I can see where my ally is to drop my water fields, ect.
Thanks for taking the time to read. I don’t think any players would be opposed to the chest change but how do you guys feel about changing the size of your character?
They will roll out in steps, though. So when you see one patch, don’t think that it’s the only thing we have planned.
