Guild Wars 2

Instead of Ascended Armor, can we get more cool PVP exclusive wardrobe unlocks and new backpacks as exchangeable prize? Maybe a little increase in gold rewards to attract PVE players. Dragonite ore is plentiful in pvp without having to do silver waste runs, so that’s a good thing. Maybe we can get a PVP reward bag/box just like the ones we get from festival events (wintersday gifts/trick or trick bags/red envelopes) that have a set of exclusive pvp only rewards and a mix of other stuff in RNG

Getting another set of ascended was a nice incentive, but I think it was the right move to make it harder to get them to prevent power creep or having to introduce a new level of armors. I don’t really want dungeon and raid pugs to start requiring ascended as the new baseline.

Let me get this straight, you want the game to return in the past, like 4 years ago. Everything you stated (skins, backpacks, gold, chests, festival rewards) was in the old PvP system. At release, PvP was designed to not give any PvE rewards, only PvP rewards and skin unlocks.

We now have this system because others, just like you, requested it in the past. We can’t go back to the past, otherwise the forum will be flaming with players asking for this system with rewards and ascended and legendaries in PvP.

There is an old saying, absolutely valid for this game: Be careful what you wish for, because you might get it.
