Guild Wars 2

Why do so few get rewarded? is supposed to be the title lol

==
Maybe I’m a bit confused…but why are the only top 20 given exclusive pvp armors?

I would have hoped there would be a way to grind pvp exclusives without having to be in the top 20.

I don’t think I’m anywhere good enough to be even in the double digits…don’t a lot of people pvp?

Good question.

My thoughts is, the developers are heavily influenced by the preppy popular kids (the people getting rewarded), so they give stuff to only those people.

Should be expanded to 500 spots for some kind of reward.

A lot of people I talk to, that have potential to be really good, when I talk to them about signing up to do those big tournaments they refrain from them and say they wouldn’t be any good so not worth signing up for. Same can be said for top 20 spots, its not going to encourage anyone but those preppy popular kids. Those people with potential aren’t even going to try.

However if the reward gap was larger for a smaller scale reward, THAN you would see more people ‘try’.

I wish the pvp tracks offered pvp exclusive items, i think that would be a compromise to the rewards.

And top 20…how many people pvp?

Glorious and Balthazar Tracks offer exactly this. The glorious hero’s armor is akin to a Gladiator Mount in WoW, it’s supposed to be a hyper-exclusive reward by design.

You can already get glorious armor from reward tracks, its pretty lame reward those guys get, but I aint complaining because I agree with the OP, why just those guys? They already get enough from other tournaments.

Should be TOP 5. Make it competitive, or the #1 player. 1-20 isn’t very competitive, if anything it just allows for good players to abuse the leaderboards. ‘you play your games make it to top 20, than I’ll play mine while your not playing and get there too’. Rather than drama, rivalries, etc happening because only ONE can win. Only 5 CAN WIN (most likely the party your in, the party that made it there).

These marketing guys are pretty dumb, create some drama, create some rivalries, don’t just listen to these preppy kids and let them all win, make them fight each other.

Another problem why it isn’t esports, not enough drama, not enough competition. The competition you guys think is competition isn’t even competition. You guys be thinking competition as in 2 team tournies. Two teams isn’t even a tournament.

I’d have ZERO issues if it was top 5 or top player on leaderboard gets 20,000 gems, or crazy rewards. The only competition you have isn’t even competiting against each other. Your trying to make a bunch of newbs compete with these players neglecting the system, none of those newbs going to get to top 20. Mine as well make it a fight for the number 1 spot.
1-20 is just stupid.
Might as well reward everyone else as well, 1-500, being on the leaderboard period.
At least people will think they have a chance if its to just make it on the leaderboard. However it being 1-20, those people thinking about it, not gonna do it because ‘too many good players to even make it, not worth attempting’. Which equals ZErO grooowth.

Its all good if its just your regular medium armor coat or fantasy heavy armor that looks like a robe.

If this skin however is finally a decent heavy plated leather set or nice plate armor for heavies then we just need to make enough voice, we might be able to buy it off the gem shop.
