Look, it's broken!
Flipping a keep or Stonemist should definitely give a guaranteed rare. I would argue taking them is way more difficult event then the Balthazar temple chain. You can still make it 1 a day (per keep/SM) to avoid shenanigans and Loot Trains, and this IMO would be perfectly fine.

the rank up chests have decent loot in them, including chances for precursors.
This is the biggest lie i have ever hear from a dev!
i’m wvw rank 70,50 and 30 and i cannot even remember the last time i got a rare or even getting an exotic from it at all!
i can just go to the queens pavallion get loads of exotics,rares and Levels in just 1 hour, meanhile in wvw i can work 1 hour for 1 rank and get just 2 greens from my rankup chest worth intotal 1,5 silver
Edit: I removed my “cursing” so it would sound alittle better :p

I think Devon was talking about people with a lot of Magic Find. Because it’s not a problem to kitten your build completely and be terribad at fighting just to get better loot… at least it’s not a problem in easy/PvE mode
Ascended from badges? Devon Carver said in a previous reply in this thread:
“We are continuing to make progress on these things. You can get ascended gear with badges now, the rank up chests have decent loot in them, including chances for precursors, all of the keep and tower lords drop the champion loot. The daily achievement is extremely easy to get in WvW, we’ve made a change (going live soon) to make many of the events group events to help with monthlies. Believe me, I am aware of the fact that the rewards in WvW don’t always keep pace with PvE, but we are moving to address that as much as we can. There will be an update on achievements in the not too distant future which will help to address the achievement point imbalance as well.”
Where is the vendor for this??

In every borderland. It is laurels + badges.

If wvw loot is on par with pve loot, be prepared for truly nothing but pvd circle capping megablobs with little incentive to actually fight.
Be careful what you wish for.
I’d rather have player drops have a chance at being boss chests than having keep lords drop guaranteed chests.

Fair point. For quite a long time I have been an advocate of “better rewards”. But now I see a bad side to it. I’d rather have to grind some PvE to keep my gold up occasionally than have WvW go this way.
you cant get all the ascended trinkets, the infusions are a complete joke, and it took how long to add such a minor thing? You added a vendor that shaved a few laurels for badges. That helps PVEers who have all the achievment badges and not the wvwers, who dont get laurels because that means playing more pve. You keep lying to the community saying “oh look how much we have done” when in reality, you havent helped those playing wvw at all.
Where is the WvW vendor for ascended back items?
Thanks!

Lol I get it! You’re funny.
They turned around and gave thousands of badges (with the achievement chests) to everyone, making an exclusive WvW thing now common for everyone.
At least it stopped the carebear posts about the JPs.
The WvW team seems to be finally communicating and has real changes in the works (thanks Devon and your team), but with a history of neglect and very little to show for this scramble, we’re going to continue to be skeptical until some concrete changes are made.
I just hope we see changes that actually enhance gameplay rather than ones that simply address complaints (see AC buff then nerf).
1. Better squad UI and options for commanders and squad members
2. Wxp account-wide and pay for reset of options (make it an expensive gold sink or even sell it for gems; but there is a need/wanting of this by a clear majority of players)
3. An alternative to the current match-up system (though it has been working “better” in recent weeks) that takes “recent” performance into greater consideration over their overall ranking. Formula usage, then a human “reality-checker” that keeps things in perspective.
