Guild Wars 2

I dont know how many weeks of testing it takes to comprehend the rewards for winning paid match right now are kitten . Now as for some reason u guys decided this 1 round match up is here to stay and will replace the old tournament system i think its time to work out what the appropriate reward for wining it is, i dont think i have to explain whats wrong with the current reward.
Anyway i think the appropriate reward would be atleast 20 gems, considering 1 ticket costs 12 gems this would mean u would have to win 60% of your matches to break even, anything more would be a slight profit, also plz bring back the lottery.

All who agree say kitten. Thank you.

I’m pretty sure that they already have something planned regarding the rewards, because I don’t think it can stay like that forever.
Eventually people will run out of tickets and the daily/monthly is probably not enough to compensate for that (1 loss a day happens pretty fast)

… but I like kittens

i dont like rewards in this pvp system, so im looking forward to spvp updates along with new system focused on ratings… then i will look at rewards and think if they are appropriate…

I don’t think gem reward is appropriate for lower skill level players. The whole point of gem reward in first place was a marketing strategy; if top tier players are using things in the gem store, the casuals will likely follow and purchase what the good players have.
Perhaps they could segregate rewards based on rating; i.e. highest rated players (like top .5% in ratings ladder) get gem rewards for wins, lower rated players get lesser rewards.
The problem with giving everyone gem rewards would be the potential profit losses for when they actually release some good gear skins with the target demographic of spvp players in mind.
We have to keep in mind that anet still has to generate a steady income from the game at some point.

Buy tickets in the gem store… Oh wait, you’re not a top player so you don’t have your 4K gems in reserve you made last few months ? Use your Credit Card then :<

More reward for teh win will be appreciated.

I like dogs more, but ok … kitten ?

Indeed we need some meaningful rewards not Qualifying Points and Glory + the whole buy Tournament Tickets with gems still stands.

This wasnt a suggestion btw Anet, but tnx for moving it here where noone will read it.
Another kitteny move to drain any sense of respect towards u.

You are doin a good job of boring us to death with 1map per week, who came up with this gem seriously.

A bit of math now, if a team wins 20 matches a day and never loses they get 160 gems per day and i dont know any team whos able to pull that off consistently. This means a really good team that plays alot would be able to get a few thousand gems per months which they might convert to gold to buy some weapon skin or whatever, now if u look at the PvE part they are trading in items worth 100s even 1000s of gold which they can trade for alot of gems. So whats the problem of setting the prize to 20 gems?
