Guild Wars 2

Treborlavok.3504:

BG, US 1st.

Same as every other 1st place server…. which is fine, but honestly for the length of this achievement and how big it was… youd think they wouldve given everyone a box… In this box is a choice of your precursor. Sell it or keep it, but you put forth the effort to get the key now get your reward. No matter your servers rank in the end. Make the reward bigger for ranks by giving out addition exotics/rares or extra tomes as well with maybe some mats… but the pre shouldve been given to everyone. give ppl cash or give them the last piece they need for their legendary. make everyone happy!

but the market the market!!! kitten the precursor market!, its run by .5% of the player base if not smaller and needs to crumble. Screw your broken rng system for the old legendaries. with the new legendaries, bring out the craftable precursors and DO NOT make the new legendaries tradeable nor the pre’s. /endrant

I wouldve been happier with a box for an ascended weapon or precursor and some wvw siege and tokens and thats it.

I heard they planned to do this originally, or something on the lines of it…but then held it back because of server stacking, spying, purposefully losing matches to drop down a league, and several other things servers did to stack things in their favor. So the various servers and players caused this to be unable to be given.

Well that’s depressing to say the least… Lol, with crap rewards like what was given id be surprised if they had half the turnout next time around. I would’ve rather spent my time hoarding glory in pvp or farming gold to keep saving up to buy the hunter….

Wait…the gold finisher for the #1 server has 250 uses only?
Rofl this is like a giant middle finger

Luthan.5236:

Please post your league(gold, silver or bronze), the rank of your server and the rewards you got so we can compare(and can be happy or not that hopefully the better ranked servers did not get too much more rewards for better coverage).

I’ll start:

EU Silver League, 9th ranked(Underworld)

Rewards:
-1 Mini Dolyak
-3 Tastes of Liquid World Experience (came as 2 stacks according to log (1 + 2))
-100 Dragonite Ore
-100 Empyreal Fragments
- 5 Scrolls of Knowledge (5 stackes, each 1)
- 5 Tomes of Knowledge (5 stacks each 1)
- 1 Essence of Luck (Legendary, 500 Luck)

I also had 1 “Berseker Rifle” blue level 80 item at the log. Don’t know if it was from the chest or from some other stuff because I was pveing and getting a lot of loot.

Your leaving out a lot of other rewards from this LS your leaving out the high AP and the smaller chest you get from them. In all you could of gotten 7 smaller chest on top of the big chest at the end and a lot of AP (the thing about getting AP from wvw is most of the AP are very long turn such as killing ppl i think you need to kill nearly 1 mil? i know its a lot but still to get easy to get AP seems very much part of the reward for running wvw and a nice add on for the ppl who run wvw for the pride of there world and not for a “few coins of sliver”)

Over all i say what we got added on for running something that has drops and rewards build in for running it seems fair maybe too much when you think about what you get for taking a keep and getting AP from the LS and getting a chest from that AP and getting another chest for getting a set amount of though AP done.

If your looking to get rich in a game PvP or WvW is not the way to go its about flipping the TP or farming a lot in pve. No one should have this delusion that something that most of the pop. of gw2 who plays often would get was going to be super unique because EVERYONE was going to get it.

I think that the players hyped them self up way too much for a one big rewards at the end and forgot every thing else they where getting from just running wvw. GW2 use to be like this one big reward at the end of something but a lot of ppl did not like the idea of having some one dc out or simply they where not able to progress in the event due to some reason so Anet did what these forums and most ppl wanted they broke up the rewards and gave you something for each thing you did but this means losing some of the big reward at the end.

Small version: There was a lot more then the chest at the end and the player base that is complaining about this has a painfully short memory.

lostterran.7910:

I didnt even expect much… but at least they could have given us a permanent Finisher.

Well, it’s become apparent to me that Anet doesn’t expect people to actually be playing the game too much longer. So that’s why it’s temporary.

/disrespect

And @jski is someone who’s under the delusion that anet is amazing and never wrong it seems.

You bring up rewards we got along the way while doing this , to date, longest meta. The drops we got along the way could’ve easily been achieved outside of wvw with dungeon runs and playing normally. Those are the rewards for the pve side of wvw and to compensate ppl who strictly wvw and don’t step Into pve, pve items. But like I said, pve players can and do attain twice the amount of items we got throughout the process of doing the meta. Then you mention the AP, as if they’re hard to attain. With the dailies, monthlies, dungeons, and living story getting pumped out like crazy with insanely easy achievements themselves offering the same amount of AP… Yea the AP didn’t matter to an AP “hunter”.

Then you try and say that the rewards we got for doing this is justified…? I’m sorry but whaaaaaat? Hold on let me go take 20 mins and knock out a few world bosses……… Ok done, I have my rares and 1 exotic plus them blues and greens!!

They want ppl to come here and play their game. Make them want to want the rewards. Tell everyone at the start of the season everyone who completes this meta will obtain an ascended item box of their choice. Also based on your servers final rankings, you’ll receive rewards as follows… Everyone will receive wvw tokens, karma, Xp boosters, siege, scrolls of knowledge, 60 tomes of knowledge, mini doylak, and based on your server rank as follows… 3rd and below, 3 random exotics and 6 random rares(still a chance at a precursor in exotic random) unlimited bronze doylak finisher… 2nd, 5 random exotics and 10 random rares(pre chance) unlimited silver doylak finisher… 1st, box containing precursor of your choice, 10 random rares. Unlimited golden doylak finisher. Then and only then would the hours put into this be justified and they would’ve made ppl try harder for their servers. And it would also have kept and brought more people in and around till the next leagues.

You are going way over the top there.
I’d loved to see no gear rewarded at all.
Rather, I’d have loved stuff like in those achievement chests:
A mixed set of bltc chest drops, alongside a tiered amount of laurels and gems.

@naphack, don’t want to quote myself and you with a long post. But I don’t think it’s over the top at all. They want people to play every aspect of the game. They want to keep ppl here. They promise big rewards and then hand out scraps. It makes a lot of ppl upset. Personally, I’d rather have spent those 5 weeks it took for me and my hours of play to complete the meta, and used that time farming for gold to get my pre cursor and keep leveling another toon. It’s a big slap in the face for such a big achievement meta.

Most hardcore wvwers say it’s just the same day to day fun. Which I can understand, but as someone else put it in another thread… You make big promises and get people to try a new aspect of the game and then reward them with a note saying “good job!” Im destroying that users very thought out and put together analogy about climbing a mountain.

They could’ve very easily done what I said and everyone would’ve been happy, more servers would’ve had ques and the matches would’ve been a hell of a lot closer.(I still think the current legendary process is flawed entirely, and hope they fix it with the next ones.)

Empty promises = players lost and on to another game.

Crap and 1 exotic which I sold for 1G.

From user @Delryn, this is the analogy I was talking about…

Imagine if you were told to climb a mountain, that there would be a mysterious one time only reward for you on top of that mountain. Once you finally reached the top of a mountain there was a little slip of paper saying “good job!”, how offended would you be?
Of course it wasn’t a lie, wasn’t criminal, no one said there would be gold on top of that mountain. But it was implied something worth your time would be up there, and although it isn’t criminal, it most certainly is a jerk thing to do.
Yes there would be those that climbed the mountain because they enjoy climbing mountains and that’s just fantastic for them, they got what they wanted. But how about those that did it for the reward? They’ll be very upset.

It’s not entitlement, it’s broken promises. Just like almost every other aspect in gw2. No grind, exotics being bis(minus legendaries), gear just for looks, play how you want, etc etc etc…

I highly doubt this game will survive when games like Eqnext, ESO, etc come out. Bigger and better things I say. For now all this game does is pass time on my nights off. *meh

Never published my message from the beggining of play here (from CBT).
1st place in EU gold Vizunah

- WXP bottle
-100 Dragonite Ore
-100 Empyreal Fragments
- 10 Tomes of Knowledge
- 5 Scrolls of Knowledge
- 1 Essence of Luck (Legendary, 500 Luck)
- some rare, 1 exo and lots of green
I spent much more (in counting of gold and so on) to play on www, but got fun, met new people and some new friends, joined guild )))
Got dissapointed that people spent so many time and got nothing for hard work they done. Anet know how interests in www growth the time of season one started, and probably they were surprised. But are failed with getting players involved in not only pve side of the game from this step they done. Unfair?!? Not, just not wise ;-) I must appologize for my English).
Yeep, and Gold limited finisher ;-)

The finisher should be unlimited use. Some of us actually earned it….

US, bronze league, 5th place
Rewards:
- 5 Greens

- 6 Tomes of Knowledge
- 5 Scrolls of Knowledge
- 1 Taste of liquid WEXP
- 100 Dragonite Ore

- Legendary essence of luck
- 1 Mini Dolyak

I like that they added “living story” achievements for the league. Finished every one of them including merc camps. I’m not really playing for rewards, but rather for achievements and fun. Getting few greens and a single rare made me chuckle though. Oh anet, why you trolling us.

That does look disappointing…
I liked my special ‘Missus Buns WvW Season 1 Chest’ much better…

- 1 Undead Chicken Mini
- 5 Elonian Leather Squares
-5 Spiritwood Planks
-5 Deldrimor Steel Ingots
