Wxp and points too few

How do you feel about the rate of leveling in wvw ranks?

I personally would like these were acquired faster, since some upgrades need a lot of perk points like the supply carry one (20 points for 1 more supply). Or at least they could give more points as you are a higher rank like after 10 you get 2 points per rank etc.
I think i can get a rank in 5 hours of active playing. Getting to carry only one more supply will take me 100 hours and thats about more than a month of playing for me, as i play about 3 hours a day. This is not a so casual friendly system and i feel i will never get this far.

Also if you want to max it to carry 20 supply thats about 2 years (it’s (300 rank points* 5 hours a rank)/3 hours a day=500 days) of work and meanwhile new games will come out and people will abandon gw2 for newer ones. Maybe the most of us will never see his/her character carry 20 supply (for exapmple, don’t focus on the supply upgrade because others are not so different).

I suggest what i said up here, give more points as you get after a certain rank or give us more ways of aquiring points to upgrade our characters or a lot of these upgrades will never see life.

We agree that the rate is simply too slow right now and the build next week will make some major adjustments to that. And we will continue to analyze the data after that and make more changes as necessary. In addition we will be continuing to find ways to reward players who are doing more than just running around and killing other players.

Well WvW is PvP (I hope), and pvp is in fact killing other players.

So indeed I think killing players should be rewarded more than any other thing.

I hope you are meaning the way in which you kill those players.

We should absolutely try to penalize somehow the zergy gameplay while incentive the medium and small scale pvp.

Am I wrong with this assumption?

WvW is about more than just PvP. Winning in WvW requires people building things, repairing walls, scouting, escorting dolyaks, etc. We want to continue to improve the rewards for doing those things as they facilitate the rest of your server capturing locations and killing foes. If you are helping to win the match, we want you to see rewards for that.
