Just did it, didn’t get anything, they fixed it. It’s like they don’t even test their patches, they just bring them and hope for the best and put some quick hotfixes after, like this.

I had the same experience. I finished my PvP monthly yesterday and did NOT get any extra laurels…I had already finished my PvE monthly prior.

edit: It would have been brilliant if this were all some ploy to get more ppl into spvp

Nah, they are actually making it a lot worse, now many noobs joined tournaments and had no idea where they are or what to do.

Without those “noobs” spvp would mostly be dead or dying. A fresh influx of players is critical to the health of spvp. What you want is cutting off your nose spite your face.

Looks like this got patched, I finished monthly pve this morning and got 10 laurels, and I just now finished the spvp monthly and received no laurels.

I got around 120 laurels now, saving up for ascended armor

It would only work if you completed the PvE monthly before the Mar 26th patch and the PvP monthly after it.

Ah, that makes sense… Anet style~

Like I noted earlier in this and the other thread…That is exactly what I did, yet I did NOT get any extra laurels. So at the very least this does not work for everyone.

Not possible; maximum amount at the time of this post is 94.

Good effort though.

Ok, this THE ONLY SOLUTION i can accept at this point…i PRETEND “my” extra 10 spvp laurels. I made my spvp monthly quest during the first days of March and now, i have to see people who never play spvp gaining extra laurels just because of this? Anet, be serious pls and do the right thing!

The funniest thing is that we still do not have any comments on this issue by Anet. I finished my monthly sPvP in the beginning of March (like any other regular pvp player, got no laurels of course) and today I helped some guildmates to do the same, only for those 16 achievement points. And guess what…they all got their 10 sPvP laurels (on top of their 10 from monthly PvE), as a bonus reward for being non active pvp players. On the other hand, if you are proactive, you get nothing. Anet, this is so lame and unfair. Fix it, asap.

They usually don’t respond to situations like this for a while, if at all. They try and wait until people have forgot about it and calmed down then say something like “Nothing we can do about. Enjoy your free stuff, lucky ones.”

yea hellllllooooO??!!? what bout ppl who did it before the patch, we are kitten of out 10 laurels. can we get it already too. any response??

I just read the thread – there are a lot of people trolling and derailing the subject. As always.

Subject:
The player next to me got 10 laurels more for doing the same thing I did. Anet please fix this.

Guessing by the lack of dev response there wont be any fix to this. 10 laurels is a big deal, especially to those who play alot and have multiple characters – which are generally the people who did the 2 monthlys before the patch.

Has Anet at least acknowledged this already?

Anyway, it seems to be not fixed until the end! A friend of mine just got the 10 extra laurels an hour ago! (last day of the month).

Either the after-patch people need to have their 10 laurels removed, or everyone that did the pvp monthly before-patch needs to be rewarded those 10. Quite simple.
ANET says something !

This basicly. But knowing Anet they won’t respond and wait till we forgot about this.

Still waiting for an answer…i want my extra 10 laurels!

You’re never getting the extra 10 laurels.

I don’t think it’s fair to take away the 10 laurels from certain players or to reward players with 10 laurels to balance it out. The players who got the extra 10 laurels did it legitimately.

Everyone got the 10 laurels that he deserved.
I don’t see why complaining just because someone was lucky and got more than that…

Because some people did it having heard of the patch flaw, basically exploiting the issue.

It’s simple, from now on do one of the monthlies before the patch and the other after, problems solved everyone will get 20 monthly laurels!

I agree with this, every time there is a bug , glitch or an exploit players are getting advantage of it, doing that should not in any case and by any means be rewarding or satisfying . If you are not going to balance the error by giving us the same stuff they got then take it away from them, don’t let them cheat the system.

We “The People” demand justice!

Is there another topic like this or something? Cause it looks like Anet has still not reacted to this, at all!!! Give us at least an explanation, or some kinda acknowledgement, or just say you’re working on a solution of some kind. But completely ignoring us is imo the worst!

edited: cause there was a kitten between the words ‘of’ and ‘acknowledgement’!

They’ve done this before, they won’t respond.

Exactly. People shouldn’t have got a week and a half worth of “ascended progress” just because they were too lazy to do their monthly before patch, but all hurried to do it as soon as this bug, exploit or whatever it is, got known. It’s really lame and imo they should either remove the laurels from those who got them without deserving them, or give everyone else a chance to get them too.

A lot of the people who got the extra 10 laurels don’t pvp. So they were not likely to have completed it this month.

And this is actually what troubles me the most. A lot of people who got the 10 extra laurels last month were nothing but opportunists, who could care no less for the s/tPvP as a gametype. I don’t even want to recount how many people in my guild only did the PvP Monthly to get their laurels, and then leave the gametype , never to return. Meanwhile people actually supporting the gametype, me included, were likely to have completed their Monthly earlier in March.

And while getting a lead in the chase for Ascended trinkets does not instantly win you battles, 10 laurels equals 10 days of gaming. What did I, and a lot of my mates, get from the PvP Monthly? 5 Freaking boosters and salvage kits. Yea, they’re cool.

I hate to comment on this because it’s just going to bump it, but honestly it was a bug.. a MISTAKE. They fixed it and now everyone is still complaining.

What if a vendor was giving away free items instead of making people pay for them. In a day a bunch of people got some free stuff and then Anet decided to fix this. Now everyone is crying because they didn’t get to exploit the game while the the bug was around.

Okay, so your 10 days behind everyone – shocking news – the world isn’ t going to end, you WILL be okay =)

It’s funny that you give that example, because that actually did happen. Just after the game launch there was some certain karma item which was almost given out for ‘free’ (I can’t remember the exact details, cause I’m generally not that interested in the how-to’s around an exploit). People exploited the bug: mistake, Anet fixed it and banned the exploiters ….. BANNED them!
In this case banning the abusers/exploiters/misusers/lucky ppl/however you want to call them, is by far too much of an action! But completely ignoring the other half (the ones being significantly (11 laurels is imo significantly) unlucky here, the ones NOT exploiting the system/a bug), is the other outer end!!!

Please give us a shout Anet, we still believe in you!

I am sure you will not get the 10 Laurels of the last month, because it is a hardcore game where you have to depend on luck rather than your ability.

Just Anet marketing….

Huh, imagine that. Still not enough to get me into PvP. Still trying to get back enough care to dive back into WvW, still haven’t experienced the end of culling or any of the changes. From how we nosedived, I imaging we lost ppl to the free medium transfer from GoM again, not gained.

Ok, since we’re still getting ignored here, Arenanet, can you at least tell me this:

Has this issue been fixed already???

I’d really like to know, cause if we’re getting a major update at the end of the month it might be worth holding off on PvP wins until that update, so you can get the 10 extra laurels!

I also ask this, because pretty much at the very last hour of March it still was confirmed to be not fixed!!!

Also a reminder: can someone please let me know if Anet has already answered the questions from this topic in some other thread? (I have searched, but I couldnt find anything (yet)). In that case, sorry for these posts!
