Guild Wars 2

I’ve been thinking about it and the math doesn’t add up for me. Each rank at r80 now takes 20k points. If we assume a 50% match win ratio in tPvP that gives us 1000 rank points per match on an average. So we need ~20 matches in tPvP to rank up.

That takes what – 4 or 5 hours of high end play? And at the end of that, we get 5 champ boxes.

If I were to spend those 4-5 hours champ farming in frostgorge, I’m pretty sure I’ll have upward of 500 boxes, so the rewards here seem to be pretty meager.

500 boxes vs 5 boxes.

What am I missing?

Previously this wasn’t an issue because PvP and PvE were separate. Different skins and everything. But now with gear unification and gold being the common currency, doesn’t Anet need to bring parity between various game activities?

yes i agree.

hmmm.
so much for bringing parity between sPvP and PvE / WvW eh?

rewards wise, sPvP is still not on par with PvE / WvW currently.
