Guild Wars 2

I can do well.. I can have a good match. I can hold a point the entire game.

I end up dead last… Why can I not be rewarded for doing a good job outside of just playing DPS and killing?

I agree. Playing/defending objectives should be more rewarding, and that is a common complaint I here in my guild as one of the reasons they hate spvp.

The main (80% or greater) cause of glory gain in a PvP environment should be winning. Currently in SPvP it’s about 10%. This is rediculous. Imagine if this same system was in PvE. You go into a dungeon, but you only get loot if you have the highest DPS or can round up the most mobs, but not for actually defeating the boss.

I mostly agree with you on your main point, 80% is a bit much but it does need to be higher then it is.

But implying that dungeon bosses are rewarding is just wrong

That was more of a silly statement by me, because I would have no idea if a boss is rewarding. I don’t PvE at all, in any MMO.
