That’s the secret folks…the WvW loot is fine. Don’t solo in a zerg….form pugs
I make money/drops and 45-75 badges a night by grouping with guild members (I run support and leech off our eles ) , and there is a very significant increase in loot bags popping up around me. It seems to give “credit” for more kills.
Drops are still streaky (same for me in pve)…exotic maybe once a week….avg maybe .5 yellow drops an hour……it is hard to say because the battles can be hard to find. ( this is all with 0 magic find…maybe out-manned buff sometimes)
But I have no complaints about loot….have all the badges I want…and MAKE MONEY in WvW…..imagine that
Is that the reason why people form big zergs composed of the whole map ? xD

No, that’s just the easiest way to take things.
I’d like to play WvW like the devs probably thought t was going to be played, taking one keep running supplies, upgrading, building siege, having to keep a few behind to man the siege before moving out to the next place.
But instead we have 40+ member zergs going round in circles capping places, moving onto the next one whilst the enemy zergs either follows behind then retaking, or deciding to confront the enemy zerg.
I think that what the devs thought WvW would be has instead fallen flat on it’s face. That does not means that there arent any good fights though, but real tactics are very sparce in it.
Macros, you can use them as long as they arent macros.
Remember to buy the officially endorsed GW2 Steel Series Keyboard, it supports macros!
WvW, we only care if it affects the servers we play on.
There would be a lot more head to head ( zerg on zerg) fights if people knew how much loot can drop from a 40-man zerg wipe….the ground is littered with bags (while partied )
Just trying to inform the community….I see lots of complaints/suggestions claiming loot is sub-par in WvW…..I think loot is very acceptable as is….
To post above complaining about pug zerg tactics and no good fights….those people are leveling…. an 80 should go make their own fight…go kick a beehive

Maybe that’s what its like on your server, but most keeps are upgraded and defended on mine.
just keep in mind if you are looking to only farm badges is better to make a thief or a d/d ele and go solo :P, I have spent more than 500hrs in WvW and to me that’s the best way to make badges + jps
I’ve known for a long time that being in a party increases drop rates in PvE (because the damage threshold on a target is cumulative as long as you’ve hit them once), but it never really occurred to me that this applies in WvW as well. Makes sense though.
It’s a shame that A-net can’t get the party system working properly in WvW. Being unable to kick offline players is such a hassle.
