Making Laurels worthwhile
Agreed! I have currently been waiting for some sort of carrion ascended jewelry for WvW, but it hasn’t come yet. The Laurels have been adding up and wish I could use them for something. I think this is a great idea.
Previous event weapon skins!
Flame and frost’s fused skins to dragon bash jade, even easy to get ones like adventure box and the back item skins from zypherite!
“I control time and space; you can’t break free.~”
“Maybe I was the illusion all along!”
“Maybe I was the illusion all along!”
As laurel access gives PvE players some benefit for jumping in PvP. It also means PvP players don’t have to worry about grinding in PvE when they jump across. Which is fine in the same way PvP players would like to accumulate some PvE exp but currently cannot. At least pve gearing isn’t as bad for pvp as it used to be.
They need to fix Glory sucking as that is supposed to be for PvP rewards and is underwhelming at it.
The great forum duppy.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that a vast majority of people who play sPvP competitively don’t give two cents about PvP and rarely venture out of Heart of the Mists, which is as it should be. As a result PvE exp or gear doesn’t help them.
pve gear in pvp? What are you talking about? You can’t use pve gear in spvp.
I think the rate of glory acquisition is fine. It is supposed to be slow so that it increases the novelty of skins that can only be acquired at high rank.

you mean about 80 people give or take 20? Lettuce be serious here.

I mean specifically that Laurels are created for PvE benefit. Their only in here in PvP to encourage them to come in here. It’s really not about pvp rewards, but incentive to pvp if you play pve. If you already PvP Laurels mean nothing to for you, but they were brought in so we have people to play with. There is no need for time-gated progression in the same vein of pve when PvP rank is such a huge grind that accomplishes that goal in the first place. So any pvp rewards they want to give can be freely tossed into the glory system or tournament wins.

The rate of glory acquisition whether high or low doesn’t mean much when there is very little to do with your glory. What am I going to do with glory other than throw it on some dyes? You reach a rank, buy a bunch of chests, have glory left over, and sit on it till 10 ranks later.

I don’t expect a PvE’er to understand.

I thought you meant glory as in the exp. I haven’t even considered the glory currency. There is so much of it I’m practically swimming in it. I guess they could make new skin crafting mats purchasable with glory as I suggested in the original post.
But, we are still left with the dilemma that PvP’ers acquire the (to us) valueless currency of laurels.

Which would be a valid expectation if it was applicable.

But its not for us. Which is my point.
That isn’t to say there is zero value you can extract from laurels in pvp if you care about obtaining gold currency. Since you can trade laurels for items and then sell those items on tp for gold, throw in mystic, or merch.
Your opening post was about Laurels, but I’m just pointing out that there isn’t a need to put Laurels in a pvp reward scope when the actual currency for pvp goes so unused. Definitely putting glory to better use makes sense.

Gold also is unnecessary for PvPers. The only occasion I found where I needed gold was to buy the Super Adventure box reward skins. That was also the only occasion I found to leave Heart of the Mists, albeit for a short time to farm baubles.
