Loot in WvW
Yeah. The problem with your logic, is that you think most people do WvW to get loot/items. We play WvW because it is fun, and actually challenging as compared to PvE.
We don’t need better loot. You get money for WvW ranks now, so that goes easily to cover the cost of the badge-armor.
I get ~20s per WvW rank, currently rank 80. In that time I have gotten ~2000 badges.
This is in 2-3 weeks.
This is 16g just from the level chests. And plenty of badges to buy at least 2-3 sets of armor. There is no need for increased loot, sorry man. If you’re doing WvW to get craftign materials, then you are in the wrong place. I’m not sure what type of “loot” you are missing, but we don’t need it since most of the people are PVP players anyways… Cosmetic looks come from dungeons, everything else can be got through straight WvW, and Karma in orr (which you get a lot of karma for capturing towers etc).
You won’t ever get anything close to PvE rewards in WvW. PvE =‘s spam 1 on a boss for 2 mins and get a rare… or do a quick dung for 6g+/hour. WvW… rank up get a chest… probably get a green 16g from ranking chests isn’t much for the time it takes to get 80 of them… the exotics you get in WvW cost gold + badges… so they aren’t even as good as PvE dung tokens for exotic armor/weapons.

yeah you will be seriously depressed if you are thinking most get rich playing WvW.
They just recently (with the rank up chests primarily) made it so you can actually EARN money in WvW. Used to be tons of us went broke just for playing it.
Stat increase = gear grind.
Gear grind = no money from me ever again.
