Why the hell isnt there a reward system for ascended in WvW. Its the only game mode I play. Not like pvp players need ascended.

Maybe they like your tears,
Or maybe it has something to do with you getting non-price-balanced ascended boxes as random rewards already.

If there was enough in wvw, would you think I would ask for it?? I got barely any drops from it, couple of rings and once or twice a piece armor.

I dont mind it needs crafting now, as long as it really does end up cheaper. But i HATE that you need league tickets to buy the recipes.

Shameless plug, but this is a comparison of crafting a set of ascended armor versus buying it now.

The price is almost the same, substantially more expensive to buy once you account for the opportunity cost of using 3,000 fractal relics to buy from the fractal vendor.

I must be one of the only ones who agrees with ANet on this, it was far too cheap to get ascended from PVP. It is supposed to be difficult to get, it is not a requirement that you get it as you can run around with exotics all you want and still win. Those of us who have put the time and effort into crafting, spending up to 100G a piece for ascended gear only to see cheap kitten in PvP makes you wonder why you bother, but luckily they have now seen the error of their ways.

Yes, but now crafting is the most efficient way to go, time- and money-wise. Who wants to grind several hundred matches plus invest gold on top of that when they can simply craft their armor and weapons?

This whole new system is useless and turns new PvP players off. No motivation for casual players, either. Who wants to put up several hours a day with toxic kids and griefers without even being rewarded for the nerves wrecked during the time? I certainly don’t.

Why, don’t you feel that working hard for the privilege to buy your rewards at a pretty much normal cost is a good enough?[/sarcasm]

As an update I still haven’t gotten an armor or weapon box drop, none for at least 7 months. Don’t see why its apparently so hard to understand that you may have been lucky and that clearly other peoples experiences are quite different.

Outliers always occur in larger distributions. Your experience may not be typical.
