Gifts of Battle should have never been locked behind a reward track. Or at the very least we should have been given a clear warning / timeframe before the vendor was removed. Bring back the vendor that sells them. Keep WvW As It Was (by not having afk’ers and apathetic PvE’ers who don’t care about WvW from sabotaging your server).
WvW map completion never should have been removed as a requirement for Gift of Exploration, WvW maps were some of the easiest to complete regardless of what some people say. Make WvW Great Again!
Except it didn’t make wvw great in the first place… You had a bunch of annoyed people that didn’t want to be there just doing an annoying chore. This servers zero purpose besides to kitten off more people.
No, it didn’t grow wvw either.
221 hours over 1,581 days of bank space/hot pve/lion’s arch afk and some wvw.

it did help it grow I originally only went into wvw on my main for map completion now its my primary game mode
I agree with the OP, to a point… the map completion being required in WvW although I wouldn’t necessarily call it entirely positive thing it did, however, get people in there — sure not all of them had fantastic time, which is why I am not exactly for it coming back, but it is not as if that can be said as an universal truth.
It gave people a reason to go outside of their comfort zone and try new things, that is something I can support (although, as stated it coming back now is not something that should be done, it will only create unneeded inertia between different groups of people).
I probably would have never given WvW as much of my time back in the early days as I did if this requirement did not exist back then, though right now I also welcome the fact that it doesn’t anymore… but it did get me to try a game mode I probably wouldn’t have gotten into otherwise.
