i hope they will change the reward system, this is terrible… they took all the grind from PVE part and spit it into PVP, kinda sad… we got all the same equip to have a skill based game with farm mechanic rewards, too ironic…
the rewards are to differentiate those that spend more time in the game.
how else would you reward those that put the most time in?
just be glad they don’t affect your stats.

at first, PVP isnt about spending time for a reward… PVP is about spending time to get better and then win for a reward… that is how it should be, not like how it is now…
Never understood why people cared about Rank..
It’s just skins =D Play to have fun, and to dominate your foes.
Most people (including myself) need more than “it’s just fun” to play. Either give me skins, bragging rights, a new visual etc. (like a star for those who have map completion).
This is one of the reasons I never waste time in WvW. You get nothing for the time and effort you put in there. I only go for the jumping puzzles to get my badges and destroy the siege plans. If it wasn’t for the glory and rank, I wouldn’t to sPvP either.
Loot, skins, rank/bragging rights are integral to the game. Without that I would never play no matter how much “fun” it is.

Oh rly? Why do you play gw2 then?
Also don’t speak for “most people”. If you ask “most people” why they play video games, they’re not gonna say bragging rights, they’re gonna say because it’s fun.

Lol by how they play?
I’ve been neglecting them glory boosters but saw a nice skin I want so time to start popping them.
The best skins for performance are actually the smallest and least visual skins which is mostly starter gear or some of the event items. Ranking up really doesn’t have any incentive, except for maybe the bags?
Ya its slow. But rank doesnt really do much for you other than appearence. Getting to 30 takes about 2 months if ur a frequent spvper, less if your hardcore.
And that seems to be the rank that u can weasle your way into most groups with.

You destroy siege plans? THIS IS BLASPHEMY! And here I am spending god knows how many badges and gold a day BUYING those plans.
TBH, if you applied your philosophy to RL, there wouldn’t be any point living either :P
I hit level 10 and decided it wasn’t worth the time to pvp right now. When I finish my next legendary it might be. But for all the time invested to rank up, you don’t get anything you can use in the rest of the game. No gold, no karma, no laurels, no skins, no emotes, no thank you.

True. This is why Albert Camus postulated that suicide is the only rational response to the absurd human condition.
Believe me, I struggle with this question almost every day.

Cause this game is all based about getting skins, in pve, you level, you do dungeons, you waste a lot of time farming through impossible RNG and DR just to get skins, since exotics are a joke to get.
I find it pretty unfair that, in less time than doing sPvP, i got to lvl 80 and got a really nice looking set/weapons while on sPvP im only rank 20 and awfully looking gear.
You can farm paids/frees for pretty looking gears..
I like feeling like my gear actually means something.. I don’t actually use any of the r40 gear though :/ waiting on my r50 shoulders
I don’t understand this…. do you want a super quick ranking system where people reach max rank in under a year and all the titles/ranks mean absolutely nothing?

that’s exactly right. as in gw1: the pvp is like a separate game almost. there is very little you can bring to pve from pvp — except the battle experience you gain. So, in other words, you did well to leave since it doesn’t seem like something you’d like.

Currently rank means absolutely nothing – it just shows the amount of time you spend playing, it does not show that you are more skillful it does not show that you are better in any other way.
On the other note, the problem with ranking in this game is that it is not rewarding to get – if they made even a simple change like new armor pops up not every 10 levels, but lets say every second level there would be more incentive for people to get new rank. Now when you reach the X0 lvl and spend all the currency (probably not all if you are 20+rank or even lower) you stacked up during this long farm to get all new items it does not feel rewarding, because you know that the next 10 levels would be even longer and more tedious and the items you obtained are either the ones you were planning to get for your character and there is no reason to go further or they look like crap thus making this grinding experience even duller.
