Guild Wars 2

Currently there is no real benefit to staying to the end of a SW event as you get the same reward. No chests on the ground when whatever is dead. No loot drops. It is in your best interest to tag as many events as possible.

It has gotten to the point where I have to constantly look over my shoulder at SW events. I do not want to be the last one there and everyone else just assumed I will keep it from dying. Then I have to keep it going because the time I invested in it will be lost if it fails, even though soloing an event in the SW is not always a great idea.

This could be fixed easily, just have monsters in the SW do drops. An added plus would be a chest for veteran-level and above but the drops would be the easiest resolution.

Does someone have a vested interest in encouraging bad playstyles when the rest of the map encourages cooperative events?

I have not seen this except for the 5 bosses but it’s always been just a handful of people that rotate. It’s never been the entire map doing it. As far as events, I haven’t see the entire map rotate around tagging rvebts except for the chest farm maps.

Yeah, I can’t say I see this behavior often (if at all) in most SW maps. The times I do see it, it’s a small group of players who hop around without finishing events, and some of those are simply running off to help another fort that might need more people.
