Due to the influx of players in the snowball fight, there is not an inconcievable amount of complete and utter morons, who can't even grasp the basics of the game. (The "good" teams are already IN the arena tearing it up.)
This makes it incredibly hard to get gamer points for the title due to the fact that, at the moment, you have to win to get them.
So please, A.net, allow the losing team to get Gamer Points equal to the amount of points they scored during the match, that way at least whatever effort was put in by the players is recognized. Besides the title does say gain points for participating in games, not winning them.
That or activate other games, please...
Now I'm off to go write a guide for these sad, sad individuals who just don't get it.
Gain Gamer Points, even if you lose.

I like the idea, but it promotes leeching.
Mister Muhkuh
so you want to change noobs for afkers??
/doh

puteh
you want noobs to do their bad jobs(afk)
Ken Dei
Put it to you this way, right now, it's so bad, they might as well not be there. Besides, people are leeching for Balth. Faction as is. I rather have some reward for putting up with it and losing then totally waste my time.

agreed. The average age for the people snowballing seems to be 8. Or maybe thats I.Q...

Change it so you get 1-5 gamer points(points can be changed by amount to make fair) for each gift you give to your god. No leeching is available since they would need to actually get the gift and go give it to their god, and it still evens out for everybody.
I think that could keep everyone happy.

eh, I could see people letting their teammates die so they can pick up the present for the point tho

The title is not that hard to get, you only need 100 wins. It's no requirement for constructive.
And everyone got a hard time until they get on a good team, it's Random Arena remember. So good players get on good teams because they try a lot of times.
I got the skillz title the first day, and halfway to pro skills, and I still had time to play a lot of PvE aswell.....

maybe if you're within a certain range of the avatar when the point is scored, you can get a gamer point then. it still forces the afk to move, making leeching pointless, and if you didnt actually deliver the present but you helped with it, you still get some gamer points. plus, it would promote teamwork because the team grouping back up to get the gamer points are going to protect him more.

hi all
if anet make it like this:
for each gift delivered to the avatar = 2 skillz point
so the winning team allaways get the 10 points
look more rewarding for the losing team....

Maybe you could get 1 point for every unique kill you make in a match as well.

Gamer points when loose = leechers winning
Everybody would just idle, even if you knock it down to 1 point a game, its still only 1000 times somebody has to click on the button, and with whole teams idling, matches would be over before 4 mins had passed easy.
(unless everyone idled, then it would just last forever, and be funny.
anyway, /not signed, you can get a good group, its all about luck placement, ive had a couple of 10 streaks today getting good groups. Yes there are morons, but yes there are some decent players.

Once again, to the short sighted people warning of leechers, there are already leechers in the arena. That's part of the problem. Though i do like some of the alternative suggestions that have been presented.
roalgumo7
Horrible idea, this would just bring lot's of afkers like they way.
Feathermoore Rep
I disagree. If it was changed so that the losing team gets 2 points per present then no matter what the afk'ers still lose. But this way its not a complete waste of 8 minutes in a battle that you lose 4-5.
However i still think that its not a hard title, (I'm less than 10 wins away) it would at least give people a small reward for trying.
Either way i doubt it will be changed.

Make rewards for being active and involved no matter if you win or lose. Personal gain = more motivation to do your best.

they aready removed a reward for losing
that point the arenanet beliavior on that

honestly i dont get it.. why does everything have to be so easy? is no one willing to work for anything anymore?? You win u get a reward, u lose you dont its not hard to grasp, and like someone said its RA some days u cant find a good team and other days you'll pretty much roll over everyone you meet.
Idlers are bad enough without giving people more incentive to do it, fort aspenwood anyone?
As for getting points for giving presents, that doesnt promote team play you'll get everyone scrambling for presents to get extra points instead of watching each others backs like they should be doing

Make the reward a personal venture, based on the game activities.
If you, personally, capture a gift, you get one point and perhaps the ability to get a consolation prize if you lose. If your team wins the game with 5 captures, you all win 10 points.
No leechers, no greifers.

I dont like the idea of getting a point ONLY if you give the gift. You can help your team in other ways besides being the runner. Maybe if your team loses and you run a gift you get a gift also. A single shard maybe for each gift ran.

If ANet just allowed you to form teams this wouldn't be a problem. A lot of people including me leave when they have a team of noobs because we don't like to waste our time.
Soldat
Nah, I wouldn't bother giving points for participation. The event already started, and doesn't last long. Although the "Skillz" title is cool, it's not something most people strive for. You will have other holidays to work on that title if you want. For now, the Snowball Arena should just be for fun.
leguma
I've been playing for over 4 hours now and over half the teams I get when going in have a leech.
Is it that hard for Arena.net to notice a player that has a script to hit the enter mission button? Is it that hard for them to see that through out an entire game a player's client has sent out NO actions to the server?
This was just as bad when ABs came out, now it's worse because you only have a limited amount of time available to play these games. Those sorry sad ass programmers need to get off their asses and people need to start complaining because it looks like the devs don;t give a flying fsck.

I think I already suggested that if you lose, your whole team should get 1 CCS, but people always respond with "IT PROMOTES TEH LEECHES LERN2PLAY N00B."
So, I think we should make it that when you lose, you also lose ALL the faction you earned during the snowball fight. That'll teach those AFKers, right? If you lose, you wasted your time because you get NOTHING! Everyone wins!
That's the Christmas spirit! Award the players that win, and take everything away from those that lose!
Hmmm... While we're at it, why don't we have a thing that appears under the "DEFEAT" text that says "Learn2Play, n00b".

make kills/present return a perk kinda deal like in RA, not enough to make you wanna afk it but enough to make you want to try a little bit harder.
1 kill=1 point
1 present returned=1 points
1 win= 5 points
points based on work put it FTW
for me average for losing team due to -1 player is like idk maybe 1-5 kills and maybe 0-2 presents based on team ( i have been able to win 15 in a row during a 70 win streak but the team was just completly steller)

i think they should add a new game here or there, theres freakin like more than 10 districts in US, its rediculous. and yes losers should get some points because sometimes you just get stuck on a losing team, not full points but maybe half, and maybe, just maybe raise the winning points. otherwise good job on the wintersday celebrations
Stupid Shizno
eh, i see how "newbs" who play expecting to get this title get upset loosing and then wondering how they will get the title. and honestly, i do believe you should get a point for entering the arena, regardless of a win or not.
yes, you will get leechers and afkers. but so what, this "gamer" title is a pve title based on special events, do you honestly think it has meaning? stop trying to put meaning behind titles. theres not a single title in the game that can not be farmed, get over this elitism you all have for the titles.

Gaile stated tonight that there would be other ways to get Gamer points soon. They're just not activated yet.

Why not just auto-KICK afks? If game see you are not moving in 2 minutes = KICKED! and delete all factions or whatever that character wins in that 2 minutes.

Im already on 2000 points and havnt had a problem getting them. If im in a bad group I quit and go in again. And for me, 1 in 5 groups turn out to be perfect non moronic players.
So if its taking you more then 5 trys a time to get a good group, maybe your the reason the group isnt doing well?
What would be better, a lot better, and this has problably been mentioned enough times, is if we could make our own teams. 4 Skillz+ players on vent would be awesome.
