Guild Wars 2

What has better loot? Or can you also get pretty cool stuff from WvW? Some how it feels like sPvP has a stable loot income. I enjoy both beside my few hours of PvE a day but I am just wondering, can you get expensive items from WvW? Once in sPvP I got a bag with a exotic item that I sold for like 90 gold

WvW is dead….

Sure, there have been people who have gotten precursors in WvW but relying on big ticket items is not going to get you very far unless you somehow KNOW you are especially lucky.

Spvp reward tracks give way better and more frequently quality loot than drops and rank-up chests in WvW in my opinion.

WvW needs something like this for ranking. The variety of items is just not there for WvW rewards.

neither . spvp rewards are a guarantee for poverty-most of the tracks are fairly bad…there are only say 3 or 4 tracks of any interest. and in terms of time investment they are a total waste. 1 run in silverwastes is worth a day of pvp.

now that being said pvp is much more fun and challenging than pve but if you participate you just have to know that your pve counterparts will be swimming in gold while you trade in silver.

I think WvW reward tracks would be a good idea, tbh.

What would you use to progress the track? WXP? That would probably mean regular loot drops would get removed. Might not be a bad idea since that would get rid of the need to spam your AoE loot button as well.

It’s worth remembering PvP loot bags are the only ones in the game that are affected by magic find. If you save them up for when Call of the Mists is active to max out your magic find, you can get some pretty good drops – I’ve had several ascended chests from champion bags this way.

Both is bad. If you want Loot play PvE. :-(

In terms of Gold Income:
PvE > PvP > Begging for Copper to use Way Points > WvW > Commanding (Negative Gold)

PvP > PvE > WvW

The loot from PvP is insane. Awesome exotics galore and you get to CHOOSE the chests you will get!

Also: Transmutation Charges. It’s the loot you always wanted in WvW but never got.

I’d rather have anet fix what’s wrong with wvw/the game than bringing another new mechanic into that mode.
I never really felt as if I was getting too little loot – the upgrades did hurt though.

No real argument for me actually. The rank up chests are ok. The loot the bosses drop is ok. The new nodes are really nice (although I miss black peppercorns from time to time – I used to farm them in NC).
Transmutation charges, well.. my characters usually get one or two outfits once they hit 80 and that was it. I have somewhat close to 200 charges, so.. and wvw map completion dropped them before wvw had been taken out of world map completion.

I really don’t think the wvw loot is that bad.
