Q:
New player to game need help!
On top of reward tracks that mimic PvE drops;
Free Tactics (These generally cost 1-3g to make, and your guild might use 3-6 on a reset night and 1-4 on other nights). Saves your guild quite a few gold.
New Siege Decorations, because we all know it’s Siege Wars 2
Transmutation Charges.
Unid dyes are now obtainable in WvW! Now you can dye for more than your server!
We get new skins, even if it takes awhile to earn.
Ascended armor now in a WvW vendor with new skins.
Reacquirable Misforged Weapons in Ascended variety.
New Legendary back item.
The only thing lacklustre is the instant reward track progression (25points, much better if this was doubled), and the pip acquisition balance to reward more active playing (+1 for sentries and camps, +2 for towers, keeps and Stonemist).

Thanks for trying to answer my question, but I dont think it really solve my problem. I earn about 2-3 pips per tick toward that skirmish thing so I average get about 1 Skirmish Chest per hour, and each chest only provide about 60s-80s. The Tactics are worth more but is there anyway i can turn it into gold? As for the ascended armor and back piece, I can only play average of 3 hours a day most so average 20 hours a week, with that time i can only get the wood and bronze chest at most, so i get about 25 tickets a week max, but those armor cost hundreds and full set are in the thousands! If i play 3-4 hours a day everyday, it would still take me almost a full year to get a full set. My friend who do other stuff such as pvp told me rewards for doing other things is a lot more faster and i would be way better trying other game mode. I really like wvw and was just wondering somehow im not doing something. Cause im not gonna lie, i really dont feel a lot of difference in reward before and after the update.

If you are playing wvw for good rewards, then you need to play something else. The new pip system is heavily biased towards those that played on bandwagon servers and tier 1 blob servers or those that ran around EOTM all day, as rank determines most of your available pips. A decent 2000+ ranked player on a lower server gets 4 pips a tick, blob bandwagonner on tier 1 can get 10. As a newbie, the pip system isn’t for you at all.
The rewards from the spvp reward tracks that they copy/pasted to wvw at least mean that you can break even playing wvw, but don’t expect to make much money.
The fluff the other poster listed doesn’t help your finances at all- as you are unlikely to get any of it.
Work on getting about 10 tickets a week and maybe backpack in 4-5 years.
WvW player. Doing another world completion for my next Legendary. Hater of mini-games.

You must be very new to wvw, cause if you are, you shouldn’t feel any difference. The update are meant to target higher level player only. Its more of a update on making high level wvw player feel more rewarding, as for new player like you, nothing really change. And unlucky for you, you don’t have all those extra experience bonus they have back then, there was even a time when you can purchase wvw levels through vendor! but its all gone. anyway, if you want more rewarding experience, you be better off doing pvp or pve stuff. The feeling of wvw are rewarding are for high level vet players only, but if you really like wvw, stick around 1-2 years then maybe at a higher level you might feel the difference this update has made.
