I was under the impression that there would be weekly and season rewards added to WvW after this week. How will this work? Will there be tiered rewards? Will the league determine the reward or your servers ranking within the league? I apologize if this question has already been answered. Thanks.

The weekly rewards have already been added, you now receive 1-3 bonus WvW rank up chests based on how your server placed in the previous week’s matchup. They’re account bound and you have to rank up to get them, so if you win your next three ranks will give you two chests. These are pretty much worthless as we all know.
The season reward chest will be based on how your server places in their particular league, so 3rd place in gold, silver and bronze will (I think, anyway) yield the same reward. No one knows how big the difference between 1st place and last place rewards will be, nor do we have any idea what the chest will contain. In order to get your season loot you have the finish the new meta achievement (http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1no65h/hidden_wvw_league_achievement_founds/).

And the yak finishers are temporary until the next season as well, I imagine much of the other rewards are pretty much standardized
Also, I’ve seen the finisher described as a “stack of yak finishers” which makes me believe it is a limited number of time-limited consumables similar to how the cow finisher you could buy from the gem store used to work.

Good point about the stack thing, that’s actually in the news story I linked but I missed it. Although the consumable finishers were changed when they introduced the permanent ones, they are no longer a time based thing and are instead uses. When you use a consumable finisher item it goes into that finisher menu as five individual uses. So a full stack would allow you to finish 1250 people with your super cool dolyak.
I do kinda wish they’d talk about the rewards more for the season thing. It might help people decide whether or not to move to a different server.
to make the top servers stacked even more? so the rest of each league gets rolled for 7 weeks? yeah that’s a great idea.
Like thats not already happening? People are pretty much flocking there already in the hopes of the rewards, which if they aren’t really anything special it might stop some of the transfers. Like if the only special thing is the (temporary) Dolyak finisher and some extra rares.
From what I’ve read the rewards are as described above with extra rank chests depending on what your server placed, plus a special WvW finisher if you come first place in your particular league. However, if the following week another server wins the league, you lose the ability to use that unique finisher and that ability goes to the winning server. Temporary WvW finisher and some chests, is all I’ve heard about so far.
Apparently the WvW rankup chests are getting buffed next patch to have another piece of loot in them, so the bonus chests and ranking up in general will be worth twice as much as they are now.

Wow!!!! Two greens instead of one. That’s just awesome. I hope that doesn’t cause massive queues on my server.
Unless there’s ascended gear or maybe unique WvW only skins from the wins awarded to those that helped their server. I can’t see PvP finishers as a great motivation for the large masses of PvE players on each server to participate.
There’ll still be the minor bug fixing patches that are inevitable…
