Starting today, we have added Bags of Alliance Supplies as a reward for winning PvP matches. Solo Arena winners will get 20 bags, and Team Arena winners will get 40 bags.
The Alliance Supply Bags have a bunch of (potentially) nice rewards, including a mini and items needed for the new back-piece.
The most important thing to note is most likely the Quaggan Tonics though.

So to answer you, a bunch of stuff you want to delete, and some stuff you might be able to sell on the AH, and really that is about it. Enjoy what PVE has enjoyed which is a bunch of junk items in your inventory you don’t really care about that are selling for so little on the AH, you question if it is worth the clicks to sell it.
But! You could get a precurser…. Not that it works for PvP though.
You are aware that PvP:ers were quite annoyed and complained about being unable to get Living Story stuff before they added them as rewards for wins, right?
We had more or less a thread per week about how they were “forced” to play PvE in order to get access to certain rewards.
Now we don’t need to do PvE in order to get said stuff, and if you don’t want them simply throw away the bags. Not really much of an issue.
Not a bonus for me. You get 40 of them per match, it fills up your inventory and fills it up even more if you open them. I seriously cba to open them, I’m just gonna destroy all of them when my inventory is getting too full.

ye but you can sell the clothes for good gold in tradepost
even this quaggan potions cost some money (the permas)
This is awesome! More free rewards for playing a game I enjoy!
I can’t believe that people are told “we’re giving you more stuff for the pvp you do” and people complain. Even if you just sell everything you can and get a few silver, its still better than nothing!
I look forward to when we get to hear about the new PvP Rewards coming
A victor gives no quarter when the victor shows no clemency or mercy
and refuses to spare the life in return for the surrender at discretion (unconditional surrender)
of a vanquished opponent.

So why does solo queue get half the rewards again? Why do you keep giving double the rewards to the people who team join and farm solo joiners?
You are aware that Team-queue and Solo-queue does not fight each other, right?
When you go for Solo-queue, you fight other from the solo-queue.
As for why they get the double reward that is most likely due to the fact that it is more organized and thus most likely more challenging.
Mainly because soloq takes less time than arranging a decent team for teamq, you can just keep joining forever..no need to setup or to find ppl, and yeah because it’s easier..obviously…(Skyhammer, engis, wars, cheesewatch…that sort of stuff we all know..)

By solo joiners he meant people who join alone to a team match queue. There are still random teams in there, which is fine.
And yeah I agree; teaming up, using more complex tactics, fighting at a higher skill cap, all those be enough to make team-queue more rewarding.
got 240 on guardian already…unopened, i just put those near the 600+ unopened chests…along with the others spread through other chars..
PvP is so rewarding…
Meanwhile sh and sw still in soloq, decappers and wars still bringing panic into tpvp, ppl porting into walls and random lags all over the mists…
..but hey…we have bags with random pve stuff inside..
You do know you can get some very valuable items from those bags right? in the near future (a month from now or so) some of these items will be worth dozens of golds and maybe even more than a hundred.
Open a bunch of those bags using a magic booster and enjoy the gold

I can’t speak for EU, but for NA, this is complete bull kitten.
I have a higher win rate in team queue. I have a higher leaderboard position in team queue (I was at ~200, but haven’t played it for a bit). This was done while solo queuing in team queue. At this point, team queue is really no different than solo queue. Of course the easy solution is just to embrace it and go with all team queue. That’s what I did. Not withstanding, the reward disparity is completely borked.
since i need several backpieces and I’m not able to endure the boredom zergfarming in la induces me with, this is something like the holy grail for me. thanks.
on the other hand i wonder why adding those ls-rewards parallely with the ls update isn’t standard. though i very much appreciate this (as i did with the bags during wintersday), i would like to have such an implementation as something completely normal and regular instead of being some kind of special reward patched in one or two weeks later.
new ls-stuff coming? just throw some of the new boxes into the pvp reward.

Magic Booster wont help. Magic find only applies to drops you get from dead enemies. Not from chests or bags.
1st person worldwide to reach 35,000 achievement points.
You will still need to do a lot of PvE to get it. A lot.
Unless you want one of the non-shiny versions, then you could get everything you need from bags/TP.
Either way, they are not a skin but an actual item so it can’t be converted to PvP.
Thanks for getting onto this fairly quickly Allie! & a quick question, will we receive a full two weeks of this dropping seeing as we missed the first week?
People complained about the Living story armor being exclusive to pve.
Now we can get it by playing pvp.
People still complain?
New Rainbow Guild – An open-minded guild exclusively for Transgender people! Warning:link may contain traces of awesome. Lyssa’s Grimoire – a guide every Mesmer should read.
Not only is it more free gold (you can sell most of what comes out), its also a way to get the Living story backpeice should you want it, and you get a lot of “found belongings” which you can use to buy more tomes of knowledge if you are using pvp to level.

If you mean the backpack: crafting 500 is required for the ascended version (which is the best looking) – no pvp only player has crafting leveled, so tell me why there is no reason to complain?

It might shock you , but we can sell the mats from the Bags and use the free silvers from the PvP matches and upgrade the crafting up to 500 !
But dont tell any1 :PPP

than simple question: why i can join than solo in teamQ and get same reward for a win?
No, the higher rewards are not for making a team is harder. The higher rewards are cause teamQ sux and is not fun to play and teamQ would die when not pay the randoms to be canonfodder for the premades.
When remember they made soloQ cause it is not fair to play as a solo player vs Premade – this was the biggest problem at this time in forum and everyone was happy when they finaly said the make a soloQ.
And it showed how many people care for teamQ – teams had to wait ages to can play and in NA after MMR reset they could not even fill the top 1000
How i said, the only reason why teamQ get double rewards is cause they would have no players – and this is the wrong way
they should make teamQ fair and fun than maby players wanna play it
I just spent 20g on mats only to find out that I can’t get the final back piece item because I haven’t farmed PvE like the rest of ANet’s favorite lemmings.
Why the kitten are you giving us meaningless stuff we can’t use?
I want my 20g worth of mats back.
