Guild Wars 2

That is, PvE players could do either a daily or monthly and get a laurel out of it.

Would you want this? Would it be too much of an injection of low-skilled players?

I would never leave spvp unless its to get my ascended gear and maybe do some wvw or dungon run on a blue moon.

I would love to have at least choice to get laurel from daily pvp or daily pve.

ANET, make both gave Laurel od make it possible to choose how do you want to get it.
PvP players always get the short end of the stick.

PvE rewards have no place in spvp.

Why for egz. u think that Chauncey von Snuffles III is a PvE only item?
Make stuff tradable for glory and there wont be a problem.

I don’t see people running minis in spvp matches and hotm lobby hardly counts as pvp. :P
Want PvE vanity items, run PvE.

I saw ppl with minis.
If u want to keep repeting: “PvE vanity items” just tell me – how Chauncey von Snuffles III is a PvE only item?
Does NPC or Mobs tell u – Ohhh! What a cute cat!
Mist i full of real players, go there and look for Quaggan back pack – u will find them without problem… OMG! Maybe we should ban them becaus they us PvE items?! :O

Make a valid point plz, if u dont see something it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happens – u want egz. on that?

So you want minipets such as Chauncey von Snuffles III not laurels then? I understood that we were talking about laurels overall not 1-2 specific items there. I seriously doubt that your home-/mid-/farpoint or forest bosses compliment you on your mini either. Spoiler: real people exist both in pve and pvp! Discovery!

If you want those items I have no problem if they make it into a gem shop item. Like it is with quaggan backpack you brought as an example, you have to buy them separately both for pve and pvp, because you know….those two sides of the game are separated.

If you want to remove that bridge between those two gametypes, then gimme rank 80 in spvp, since I’m maxed in pve, let me wear my sunrise and pve look in spvp and let me use my gold to buy whatever skin I want and by doing that effectively making any spvp related skin reward useless.

Sidenote: I’m not “polish hue hue hue”, so I have no idea what your “egz.” stands for. Let’s keep it to international arrogance level, ok mate?

get laurels > buy materials with laurels > sell materials on AH > convert gold to gems > buy extra skins / character slots / cow finishers / glory boosters.

Shinies and trinkets were always PVE content. I don’t see how would mini improve or affect your gameplay in PVP. Rewards are good as they are.

Your explanation basically equals use gem shop for pvp items. Steps that come before that are just a random way to acquire gold to buy gems and the way you suggested is probably the most inefficient way to do so. Half an hour doing dungeon will net you more gold than you would get in a week of laurels and ofc you can just use real money for gemshop vanity, the pvp armor skin costs like a bit over 6 bucks?

Truth is, it seems to me that people want PvE rewards/Ascended gear/etc without changing their way of gaming. So they can farm both their spvp rank and pve related gear at the same time, without having to actually step in pve, where that type of gear is intended to be acquired. Reason is understandable, you want easy gear for wvwvw without giving up spvp grinding.

This. Honestly it would kitten most PvE players off because you would eventually get the “Well I don’t PvP argument going” and people who do both would get twice as much. Either way its PvE loot so leave it alone. If you want it get your kitten out of PvP and PvE but considering many hardcore pvpers wont PvE you don’t deserve them in the first place and that’s about it.

actually i think people are just trying to find a way to make playing the same 5 maps repeatedly in the same single game mode feel more rewarding than playing 200 games to watch a number go from 40 to 41.

In all fairness, it seems to have worked for LoL and Starcraft.

Apples and oranges and all that, but still.

I think it could work if it was an either/or thing. You can still only earn 1 laurel a day, but you can get it for completing the PvE or the PvP daily. If it’s 2 laurels/day I think a lot of PvE-only people will be upset.

I already suggested they bring laurels when they introduce the new ranking system. I think it can work out really nice and give pve players and incentive to play spvp.
