Guild Wars 2

For those of you that don’t know, normally when you win a Solo Arena game in sPvP you’re awarded with Glory/Rank and a Match Win Reward Chest. These chests contain 3-4 PvP skins, including a rare chance at PvP versions of named weapons (Wings of Dwayna, Voltaic Spear, Final Rest, etc).

However, the chests were replaced with 5 Trick-or-Treat Bags for Halloween (losing a solo arena game awards 1). My question is: why?

Why not just add the treat bags to the existing reward? Match Win Reward Chest + 1-5 Trick-or-Treat Bags isn’t a ridiculous award by any stretch of the imagination. People wouldn’t even be able to abuse it and easily farm treat bags because you’d have to actually win to get 5.

Actually, why even give out a PvE reward in PvP? Candy Corn has no use in PvP and neither do the things it’s used to purchase, Food has no use in PvP, and Trick-or-Treat Bags CANT EVEN BE OPENED IN PVP. This is like giving out Glory Boosters for killing the Shadow Behemoth.

It’s just kinda a bummer how it feels like there’s no actual reward for winning a solo arena game atm. :/

PS: It’s not even that I’m biased and don’t care about PvE or the people who play it, because I actually play much more PvE than PvP.

A dev stated it currently isn’t possible to gain more than 1 reward for tourneys. I’ll try find the post

Anet struggles with rewarding players. The dungeon path rewards make no sense. How does se path 2 only give 1 gold when it takes much more time to complete than the other 2 paths? Mindless champion train zergs reward players way too much gold compared to other aspects of the game

Oh, I’m sorry! I’m basically repeating that thread. :/

Thank you for the information.

I was invited to a tournament and got 7 Trick or Treat Bags instead of the match reward chest when the team I was with won. If I had gotten both the bags and a PvP chest, that’d be fine, but replacing PvP rewards with something that is unusable for PvP makes no sense. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t even care for PvP.

Oh… Apologies, I didn’t read that bug thread first. >.<
