Ok ok. So PvP gets one of the best reward ever in the game. There’s no other reward in either PvE or WvW that has ever come close to this. It’s nice but pretty ridiculous when you think about it. I can probably understand a choice of a precursor for first place but just getting the legendary itself is overwhelming disappointing for people who don’t PvP.

PVP has no good rewards at all for 1.5 years.

Casuals and pvekitten.lovers should stop whining for every single thing that they can’t get.

But also I agree with this comment:

No offense to whoever came up with this idea but in my honest opinion its very bad and not very thoroughly thought through. The winners should not be awarded with general stuff like legendary weapons or precursors but uniquely designed weapons which will be obtainable only through this tournament.

I think everyone would be more than happy with that solution.

First off, I enjoy all game modes pretty equally, and have played a decent amount in all (although admittedly I would consider my order as wvw > pvp > pve). To all of those people saying that you can just grind a champ train for 200 hours and get a legendary that takes no skill… I challenge you to go out and do that and see how long it will actually take you if you want to do that method of obtaining a legendary. Getting it the real way takes ~ 6 months of playing every day for at least 5 hours. As a predominantly WvW player myself, I make as little money (and arguably less) than a pvp player. So stop complaining about your rewards when WvW players spend every copper that they earn upgrading keeps and camps, and repairing their armor from their countless deaths. You think your rewards are bad, try becoming a dedicated wvw player who pays for superior siege and upgrades constantly. I have to grind dungeons to pay for my WvW habit. You don’t actually need money to play your game mode of choice.

In my opinion the reward should be different. As a person who has played a decent amount of pvp, (10 wins from champ phantom, ~40 from champ paragon) I completely understand that this isn’t going to be “easy” and no one is just going to drop into this tournament and randomly win. The players who win this will be very skilled indeed. I think the difference is that these players spent their time doing what they wanted only, and now are getting the rewards that the rest of us had to go out and do stuff that we didn’t want to do to get.

I think the rewards should absolutely be prestigious. The winners should get completely unique skins that only they can get. I think that would make them happy since it is considered very prestigious, and shows off the work that they have done, and still keeps everyone who got legendaries the standard way happy as well.

NO.
You wonna have fun and get reward for it. It is not Anet way. Farm like everybody else.

I don’t belive any of you PvE players will even reach 8th place nor being in the tournament. Just look at us pvp veterans, we been doing pvp since beta and have never got a single decent rewards and you guys are complaining to Anet about giving out legendaries to pvp players? Cry me a river. You soo called "best warrior in the world", "Number 1 necro in EU" with npc Killing skills, by rushing trough dungeons with zerk group and farm gold 10 gold every hour and claim your self to be pro while you are getting pwned by r20 scrubs in YOloQ and hotjoin. And pvp players gets nothing. We want thoes legendary weapons and we’ll farm you PvE nubs in the tournaments with the score 500 - 000 if we have to. Goodluck, and make more QQ post afterward.

I thought it to be kind of odd that they were going to do this but with the announcement of the wardrobe and the impending quadrupling of legendaries for alts via the wardrobe it kinda makes me laugh. The one thing that would make them more unique is now going to be so common since pvp and pve skins are merging that it’s going to just make the pvper look just like the pve scrubs they like to insult so much… Hilarious.

On a side note though I would like to say I hold no negativity against those who pvp and are anti pve… Just thought it was a funny situation… Also I fully agree this was the lazy way out and the people who are talented enough to win this SHOULD have gotten an item specially designed for this that cannot be acquired elsewhere as suggested a few posts above.

This thread is so full of Epic brainless PvE tears. I’m not a PvPer myself but as said, I respect the winners of this tournament a hundredfold more than any PvE “hero” who has grinded their legendaries running the champ train 24/7.

You who are whining about this prize are pathetic. Truly.
