Guild Wars 2

So everybody knows this, but it doesn’t seems like anything is being done about this. I know ArenaNet have been saying that the rewards for playing WvW will be increased, and by reward I mean loot, so we can get our ascended gear without having to do mindless grind in PvE.

Just as an example. I spend the entire day in WvW. I did pretty good killed a lot of players, took a lot of objectives. At the end of the day I did a fractal, just to get my daily done. One fractal, which took 30 min, gave me way better loot that the 5 hours of WvW I played. How can that be?

With the new ascended armor, this is really something that have to be adressed. I have given up trying to gear my alts.

What do you guys think, and how can we come to a solution?

I thought WvW actually having fun content unlike pve was a reward enough.

i would love if every kind of loot would be removed from wvw. the sucking pvd mentality would hopefully vanish and you could encounter more open field fights. it is annoying if you are 1on2 outmanned and the enemy still run away from you and hide in a keep

This used to be true. But now we need rewards for the Ascended gear grind in order to keep up with the Joneses.

I see this reason all the time, and I really don’t like it.

I love WvW. It is really all I do, I never, and I do mean never do PvE after I did map completion/hit 80. And because I like WvW and not PvE means I have to have a harder time making a living in the game than someone who also has fun with PvE?

Don’t get it wrong, these people love PvE, and get huge (in relation to WvW) rewards for doing what they like. Why should we not? I see people making massive amounts of gold a day, while in WvW, even if I don’t buy siege or upgrade anything, I still don’t make a 10th of what they do in the same time frame even if I am running with a zerg, in which case bags are easy to get.

So, I make my case that just because we like a given game mode does not mean we should be punished in relation to another.

Also, most people I know in WvW do not really care for the new gear, and would have been 100% fine with it being left out of WvW, but it is not and gives a good stat advantage, however, you either have to take lots of time to get it in WvW, or go play PvE, or buy lots of gems to get gold and buy it all outright.

WvW rewards have made some good progress, however it is still far and away behind PvE.

First off, although I think gear progression in pvp is wrong, currently ascended gear is not enough to make a difference in pretty much any fight, so as long as gear progression stops with ascended, I don’t have an issue with it.

The solution for people that just want to pvp is to just spend a bit of money and buy some gold. It doesn’t take that much, and you never have to pve beyond leveling to 80. I have a lvl 80 of every class, all with multiple sets of exotics, and I spend probably $20 per month. For something that I play several hours per day, this seems completely reasonable and it allows me to just ignore pve completely.

The day that I have to grind in this game to be competitive in pvp, is the day I quit playing.

You also have ton consider that while stale, the WvW meta does experience shifts from time to time. Re-speccing a character based solely on WvW loot would take ages, while the average PvE’r can get enough gold to do in about 2-3 hours, excluding any extra special drops.

Its called LUCK

Fractal gives the worst reward in game even compared to WWW…..
And a decent level fractal run will take 1 to 3 hours…

you can complain of the reward of www but if you tell fractals have good rewards you will just lose your point.

How i say often…
What about few click from Lions arch giving You dozen-thousands golds?
Even champ trains are far behind…..

What i really don t like is the cost of sieges and upgrades -.- that makes no sense….
