Q:

Why are players rewarded for NOT fighting each other in WvW? (topic title had to be truncated to fit the 45 character restriction)

I haven’t been able to find a good fight the past few days because people want to “karma train” rather than engage the enemy. Commanders are giving orders not to defend or do anything that might provoke the enemy. Two weeks ago I joined the karma train and gained more than 80 ranks in a day so I understand why players are eager to do it, since that is far more than I can gain in 2 weeks of actually fighting the enemy.

The vast majority of this game is PvE where players have no option to fight each other, can’t we get a reward structure in WvW that encourages players fighting each other rather than avoiding each other?
