Guild Wars 2

I mean, when I am playing an Elementalist or a Guardian, what i feel to be natural for me to do on field is to primarily support my allies.

However, regardless on how good a supporter I am, there are no gratifications for that other than player gratitude.

This applies do DE, where I waste my full potential in a struggle to tag foes for loot and also because apparently, if you don’t kill foes you are not doing the Event at all.

Also to sPvP where only reviving is gratificated.

Well, the game seems to ignore anything you do in battle other than mindless murder.

Agreed, sure there is no dedicated healer etc, but you are given the choice to spec certain ways that help the group more than kill the targe/targets yourself. The trouble is (as you state), unless you deal the damage required to the target/targets you don’t get the full reward from the events.

What really needs to be done, is for it to see how much healing/boon supplying/condition removing you apply to other players within the event area and add this to your damage amount.

It just seems strange to be given the option to spec with full +healing (for example) at the expence of raw damage, and then be penalised for it in an event with regards to reward.
