I recently came back to GW2 after a short break, but it seems like I am getting no EXP now from the events completed in the EOTM maps.
Was it changed recently? or is something wrong here?
Reduced Edge of the Mists rewards.
Reduced event karma, gold, experience, and world experience by 25%.
The number of Badges of Honor awarded for capturing an objective has been reduced to be consistent with other WvW maps.
The chests that spawned on objective capture containing badges and ascended materials have been removed.
The Badges of Honor and ascended materials are now dropped by the objective’s boss instead. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-October-23-2015/
With no rewards it’s just boring roaming, and a slug fest when on the odd occasion you actually meet the enemy team.
You know what, this is such a crappy change, and now I don’t even want to bother leveling up a character anymore.
Thanks Anet, you just kittened my game for me.
Think I will go hug my borderlands more and follow the Dorito there instead, unless, that’s been nerfed too?
EotM is now like wvw – it should’ve been like that from the start as EotM was created for those who wanted to play wvw but stuck in a queue.
No, the regular wvw “is like it was” at least reward wise – we’ve got a new borderland though which is all buggy and a bit complicated so it might well be that there’s no dorito to follow.

You know, I was just in wvw – enemy blob chasing our zerg on the walls of SM – I had food and full healtha and was insta downed – what appeared on the log was 3 and 7k it was 2,5 and 5,7k from a meteor shower I didn’t see. That means something is bugged – obviously the missing red circle and that I’ve been insta downed by a fraction of my HP (~17k) or some killshot is missing – and that really makes me mad!
For me that is the thing that is killing wvw. I’ve been in EotM at the very start and it was carnage until they figured out that they can farm karma and loot and rigged all matches – that’s when I stopped playing EotM and I only used it to level 2 out of the 8 characters I’ve created since. Except from at the start EotM has never been like wvw – two different worlds.
ETA: In short: I never played wvw for the loot or wxp or exp. And none of my friends did.

There’s almost never a commander in any of the borderlands for me since HoT. Groups in EB seem much smaller than they were pre-HoT. I’ve had 0 queues anywhere since HoT.
I run around the borderlands getting map items and don’t even remotely worry about being steamrolled by a zerg because I haven’t seen a zerg there since HoT.
EotM should have been implemented in WvW from the start as a rotation with EBG or as a new borderland.
I think it’s a shame now that we have 4 maps but only 2 are used in WvW and 1 has been completely removed.
No it was fine – I never wanted new maps no one I know wanted new maps but a lot of the people the forums complained that they wanted new stuff.
The EotM map is aweful in my opinion. The new borderland is quite ok, but I prefer simple maps in general.
It would be nice if there were different borderlands but it’s very likely that they would turn out unfair, so I guess that’s why there’s only one borderland.
