Guild Wars 2

The added reward tracks for spvp are… ok. It does take a bit longer to acquire a full dungeon set in spvp than in the actual dungeon which is fine, but it was much easier to acquire some of the same armor before the patch. One problem for me is that a lot of the skins I am getting I have already earned in spvp so there isn’t really a reward.

When are spvp players going to get weapons / armor that is unlockable only in spvp. Similar to the fractal weapons, or the wvw weapons. It would be a nice way to show off an achievement of some sort. Something to strive for other than ranks, maybe an achievement or set of achievements that show an individual players skill. (Maybe achievements like, total points capped/defended, total kills, or even minimal deaths)

It would also be nice to be able to sell some of these skins, some of them are worth upwards of 2 gold :/

My guess is never. I mean, people have been asking for rewards that are specific to WvW and sPvP since this game was released and they’re still not completely here.

You’ll get a post about how the Balthazar back piece is unique to sPvP and then they’ll vanish into the darkness as if one item will appease your concerns.

I’m sure since they added something like the Balthazar back piece, that they do understand that pvpers want items specific to spvp. So I think in the future they will add skins according to our wishes. Could be wishful thinking on my part, but hey I can be optimistic sometimes.

I would already be happy, if there would be ways to get the majority of existing skins via pvp.
The new patch drasticly cut down the number of armors and weapons you can get via spvp.
