There is! And its called the ranking system.... The point of this "competition" is so that guilds can COMPETE with each other to be #1!!!

I think you should have different times on the competitions... This one was one week, next one 48 hrs etc.
I also think you guys should have guild competitions. This individual is fun but what would endorse teamwork more is a competition for all members to strive for the same goal.

I expect we'll be doing a lot of funky/cool things with competitions over time. Our first experiments on world 74/75 gave us some thoughts which resulted in this most recent round of competitions. After this round, we're gonna sit down with the data and see what the players liked and didn't like. Then we'll move on to the next step. It'd be awesome if we could guess at the perfect competition set up on the first try, but I expect that's not a reasonable expectation. :'(

I'm glad you like the competitions though. Guild competitions are something we've definitely considered in the past and it's something I expect us to consider again in the future.

I still haven't participated in a competition. I wish they'd happen more frequently.

That's really great to hear! IMO we need more competitions in the game, both in numbers and frequency.
I also agree with larlis about the different times for each competition.

I think that you should give away gold instead of specific items. That way, I can decide what I want to do with it.

They are. This competition's reward is both 200 gold and an extented que.

I'm new to Valor (<= 1 wk) and wasn't expecting a comp, so when it happened, it completely changed my strategy. Had a great time with it! When are rewards issued? Keep up the good work.
