XP was removed and you can thank the botters for it.

Oh, and Anet is too lazy to remove the botters, so the rest of lose out.

Pathetic really.

Is that why they caused an outrage a few weeks ago when people got banned en masse and then people QQ’ed?

Glad they have left the rewards out for Dolyak Escorting. Supply is rewarding enough, and now I don’t have to see 50 people escorting a Dolyak while a keep is being lost right next to them.

Hopefully they just leave the xp/karma rewards out for good.

I prefer not seeing 30 botting pve’rs escorting a doly to a keep WAY behind the front, that’s already full on supplies. Used to die in a fight, rez at our keep, and see them just mindlessly doing this. Now if there was a way to only give reward based on proximity to the front, or perhaps amount of supply in keep, or even a time limit based on how long ago the keep was under siege or taken.
As it is though, this current system is the lesser of two evils.

Silver lining is it’s easier to kill the other side’s Yaks since there aren’t 500 people jumping around them anymore. Killing them still gives the event reward and removes the enemy supply.

I did it a few times but at one point you see a massive train walking beside the Dolyaks, and thats gamebreaking in WvW.

They could also set up an anti farming sort of system, like they did with dungeons. ,make it so if you are only following a dolyak back and forth the rewards significantly reduce after say two times or something.

If the dolyak is attacked, that limit is reset. If you do something else then comeback, its reset.

Something like that ?
I also agree with the only reward escorts if keep or tower needs supply…though they would want to add the current supply count to the interface somewhere since right now when escorting one you don’t know if the location you are heading to needs it or not.

There should be a reward for actually defending a dolyak, but it needs a lot of work to balance properly.

My suggestions would be:

1) Remove money from the reward entirely (or only include it as a gold tier reward using my scheme below), this should deal with the botters for the most part.

2) Change the structure of the reward tiers so that to get:
a) Bronze: must be in the dolyak’s event area for over 50% of the length of the trip from camp to delivery point. Reward: small amount of exp (1/30th level or something) and a small amount of karma.
b) Silver: same as above + must kill at least 1 aggressive monster which is attacking the dolyak (not some random mob along the roadside minding it’s own business). Reward: slightly more exp and karma than bronze (SLIGHTLY!).
c) Gold: same as bronze + must engage in combat with at least one enemy player while in the dolyak’s event area, no need to kill, chasing off is enough. For this reward tier the radius of the dolyak’s event area should be doubled, it’s often not the best strategy to stand that close to the yak while defending as it can get killed by aoe in the fight. Reward: normal level gold medal event reward (small event), can include coin here as botting a PvP fight is pretty unlikely.

Hats off to all the ones who stood before me, and taught a fool to ride.
