Guild Wars 2

Unfortunately – and this applies especially to sub level 80 players who need the experience – many important tasks in WvW are being neglected. Since the bad habit of taking your materials from towers no matter how often you ask in chat to NOT do this persists, I’m quite used to go to a tower/keep with 0 ressources in it.

If you ask people to defend the camps and escort the Dolyaks noone usually wants to do this because it gives 0 experience, karma and gold.

I can understand that this is an easily abused thing and I guess that is why you disabled the rewards for caravan duty but disabling != fixing a problem. Disabling some mechanism is usually an interim option until you have found a fix.

How about borrowing a bit from GW 1 Zaishen trapping …

(a) Getting EXP, etc. depending on materials MISSING in the structure (so with 0 mats in a keep you get more XP than if the keep has 490/500)

(b) Giving the EXP from (a) only for players who stayed close to the Dolyak for the entire time and give proportional rewards to those who left earlier or joined later

© Cap the maximum of EXP one can gain from caravan duty (like with Zaishen Trapping) but this amount should be about 1h worth of caravan duty.

Since this is a tedious task people who have reached their daily cap limit should then be rotated out for other players with the former Dolyak guardians joining the regular forces.
