Guild Wars 2 Suggestions

Universal rank emote (Discussion)

Heroes Ascent was possibly one of the funnest experiences I've had in Guild Wars aside from GvG. The array of arenas and demand for a strong tactical team was incredible. The one problem was, when I first started I was unranked of course. This was a major issue because I had plenty of experience in top 100 GvG but had absolutely no way to display that ability outside of the arena. While I support the arena's demand for experience players, the type of experience itself couldn't be displayed in translation. So my suggestion is this, keep the ranks of "Hero", "Gladiator", "Commander" and such but provide a 2nd title track that somehow combines all the played time or wins in these arenas into one.

For example, it could work on the same point systems offered by the respective titles but at a much steeper curve. This way players can display that they have knowledge of the games mechanics but just don't come to a certain arena often. Furthermore, this combined title could hold the /rank emote that Guild Wars 1 offered rather than the HA one. So everyone from every aspect of the game can enjoy it. It was simply unfair that guilds that purely GVG'd or only enjoyed TA couldn't enjoy an emote.


Why this is a good idea
  •  Stifles elitism to an extent
  •  Provides players equal oppertunity based on experience in the game instead of a specific arena.
  •  Still provides each arena individual titles
Why it may not work out
  •  Point translation could prove too "farmable" in certain arenas over others
