The paragon trophy unlocks when you open the guild wars roster screen and observe yourself in first place. This is intended to be based on last month’s scores.
- At the start of this GW event, because there was no historical data, each guild’s roster was assigned a random priority. When a player earned their first points for the week, they were bumped to the top of their roster, behind anyone of higher priority who had already played. This resulted in several players per guild, at random, getting the paragon trophy for free. Once everyone had played at least one game, the roster remained fixed in that random order all weekend.
- A couple hours before weekly reset, the roster screen reordered itself completely, again totally at random. This ranking doesn’t reflect the results of the current, basically completed war. Whoever is at the top of the list can open this menu right now and get the paragon trophy, regardless of how they performed.
Given the above points, particularly the reordering that just happened, I’m concerned that next month’s sorting will also be incorrect, and people who actually placed first this month will not receive the trophy. It would be great to have someone check on this - maybe the roster screen will reset correctly as soon as the event ends?
I have screenshots, but they contain player names so it would probably be better for someone to check the data directly.
(Griping, feel free to delete:) There are 3 ways to earn this achievement: be given it randomly for no reason, have the best GW result out of your entire guild (and hope that no bugs prevent it from being awarded), or LEAVE YOUR GUILD and start a new one. I hope this highly toxic game design can be revisited and the requirements changed.
Edit: Thanks Jeto. You’re greatly appreciated as always.
