Guild Wars 2

The most critical aspect of WvW is to ensure that you have a constant source of supplies so that you can build sieges and apply upgrades quickly to advance in battle. Because of this it’s essential that someone guards and protects the supply camps to alert the main allied force and repel invaders. But doing so doesn’t generate any rewards whatsoever for the players doing so. Why is this?

I beleive that WvW is great and that it’s a concerted effort, but at its current state it only rewards those players participating in big battles where you can obtain Badges of Honor, while those doing skirmishes, attacking caravans, or defending critical points get nothing.

This needs to be fixed, and players defending nodes should be rewarded for their effort.

I can’t say that I 100% agree. Scouts and Protectors are important, no doubt, but on the other side, people should never get rewards just for standing somewhere and doing nothing. Yes, technically, building siege engines to defend a keep isn’t nothing, it might as well come handy if the keep gets attacked, but you also don’t really contribute to the current fight if your team is dominating your opponents.

You are technically not contributing much to the fight if your team is dominating the enemy if you’re fighting to – you count for what, a miniscule percentage of your side?
