Once more about rewards...
You can display your titles….I can’t believe you don’t know that lol.
I know what you mean about 90% of the skins not being good. But that means 10% you like so there’s that. I’ve found that skins I previously hated on my main character looked awesome on a different race/gender, so perhaps give that a try.
But in all honesty, I know your name from the forums so I know you are no stranger to expressing your dissatisfaction with GW2 on the forums. If you really find it so unrewarding then what the heck are you doing still playing?
At the end of the day you really should play a game you enjoy and find rewarding. If vertical progression is your preferred method of reward then find a game that fits that playstyle. I know they exist I’ve played plenty of MMOs with constant vertical progression.
For me, doing PvP and WvWvW with my guildmates is reward enough for me. I don’t even think of GW2 as an MMO when I’m playing those game-modes. It’s just fun in general. I’m passed the skin and BiS phase. Now I just play with my guildies doing fun stuff.
I won’t stop because I can’t stop.

Titles – who cares? You can’t even show them in the game…
You should double check that buddy
I’ve seen many threads about rewards and most of them are full of people claiming that all rewards suppose to be tied strictly to horizontal progression. So I’m asking… Where are those rewards?! Why AN is not adding new Weapons or expanding on character builds? Where are new skills and exciting ways of acquiring them?
And please… Don’t tell me that AN went in the direction of vertical progression because after adding AC gear over a year ago they’ve never added even hinted about adding more tiers.
Due to a lack (and cumbersomeness due to builds being inherent to stats being inherent to equipment) of build variety there is little to none of horizontal progression. The apex of strategic gameplay in PvE is packing yourself into a ball as tight as possible and huddling in / around the corner killing the enemies before they kill you with zerk armour.
As for vertical progression; ascended gear wasn’t hinted at at GW2’s release notes and yet here we are. It was introduced to appease to the audience that likes to equate power to time investment instead of skilful play and we can only presume that once that audience catches the carrot it will be presented with a new one.
So I’m pretty disappointed with pretty much ALL rewards. Each and every reward in this is game is something that I don’t need!
Examples:
Skins – I don’t like 90% of those and my character is already looking the way I wanted it to.
Titles – who cares? You can’t even show them in the game…
Gold – why should I care? The only things you can buy with it are skins.
To each his own…..
Your examples are really personal preferences I’d guess, some of the skins I find appealing but others I’ll admit I have no interest in. The titles are shown above you toon at least I see them, maybe I’m doing something wrong? And Gold, have you ever been to the TP? I might be wrong but skins are just one item category that gold will buy, everything from weapons, armors, boosters, minis, crafting materials are all available on the TP for purchase with gold.
Most of us can’t play this game for rewards. You play it for fun and camaraderie.
Anything I post is just the opinion of a very vocal minority of 1.
