Achievment Rewards
The two new back items are rewards for achievements.
The one thing I noticed new is that the fused gauntlet reward was tied into the achievement. So they are playing and experimenting with stuff.
Would love an update as well.
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”

I’m not talking about the newly added Secret of Southsun achievments but about all of the achievments, mainly the ones already included since the launch of the game.
I don’t recall Anet specifically saying the would reward laurels. Is there a quote for that somewhere?
OP did not say laurels – but “rewards”. Although I have to admit I misunderstood it myself.
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”

True, they never stated that laurels would be the reward, but I also don’t think that they’ll reward either gold or items for all the achievments. Maybe some of them would get an item as reward, but probably not all (There probably won’t even be rewards for some).
IF they would reward laurels they probably either have to include new items to the laurel vendor or don’t reward all the achievments all together, because if not the T6 mats and unid. dye market would probably crash (If you already have everything for laurels, those items currently give the best laurel → gold conversion).
A new currency would also be a possibility.
I seriously doubt that it will be yet another currency. Anet stated themselves that they feel they have enough.
“If” it continues the pattern as right now – individual items for a series of achievements, then I hope that they will be at least themed in a way – working together.
