EotM- better reward for winning
The Karma, the Gold, the Badges, the ore, the costumes, the stats, the score they’re all meaningless entries in a database that can be changed with lines of code.
The only thing that means anything is having fun.
They do need to reward defending better than they do. That was my biggest gripe about the WvW season 1: all of the achievements were for taking things, so there was actually incentive to not defend (so you could take the same thing over and over).
