Guild Wars 2

World vs. World
Consumable WXP items have been added to player loot bags in WvW, in values up to 25,000 WXP. These items are account bound.

Can someone explain to me what this means exactly?

When I kill someone, there is a chance that the loot bag dropped on the group can contain a big jug of WEXP? So I loot the bag and I get 2 junk items, a blue, and 25,000 WEXP item?

or

Loot bags dropped by players have a chance to give WEXP items when they are opened? Such as heavy/medium/etc loot bags.

I really don’t see either one of these being a great thing… as the encouragement is to get as many player loot bags as possible, thereby causing everyone to make the largest blob possible to counteract the opponents largest blob possible.

Or you can buy loot bags off the trading post and get boosters that way, which feels an awful lot like pay to when when the top ranks contain massive stat boosts.

Anyone seen one of these drops yet?

As someone postet a screenshot of him opening 300+ of loot bags not having one of these new wxp consumeables i assume it is the

Which would make more sense, altough it makes zergs even more rewarding.

Yes I opened about 100 to try and test as well, with the same results… Makes sense I guess….

I was convinced they had made zergging as profitable as possible for wexp, but I was wrong. Now you get 50-60 per kill, and a chance at a massive boost to level as well, and the WEXP from taking keeps/towers, and the dragonite/fragments, and the better chance at an ascended item from champ bags.

Might just be time to forget about bothering to defend anything. Pretty sure one extra WEXP at the end of the weeks is hardly enough reason for me to care much about PPT.

It’s the loot bags that drop when killing in wvw that have them, not the heavy/medium and such bags.
