REAL WvW rewards please!
Total +1 to this a participation reward would go far I think

Something else that dropped in the chest could be like 20 coconut bars or peach tarts for XP/karma bonuses in WvW as well.
+1
As long as the prize is something small and not really significant for stats. Rewarding winners too heavily has been done in other MMO’s. It will only make it easier for them to win the next time. In the end this makes some people quit PvP and some people move their chars to winning servers. Neither is good for balancing.
One of the things I liked about the WAR pvp is that you would get those “map-wide” bonuses when you took the whole map. I know some people probably complained that PVE people were getting a reward for the hard work of the people in PVP…but I still liked it. It felt good to see that big flash of light, get a nice chunk of xp and think “I just helped get that for my entire zone”. Those sorts of things are encouraging in my opinion.
Like last night…I was part of a raid on a keep with an orb. We teleported (literally, witha mesmer) in, grabbed the orb and snuck out before they could chase us. I followed the orb carrier all the way to our keep. Now I know the orb gives plenty of bonuses on its own…I was hoping for some sort of big “flash of light” and maybe a “You captured an orb” appear on the screen…with SOME sort of hooplah. I know people are always concerned about people exploiting, or people not contributing and getting rewards anyway…but I’d rather have a few afk people get some badges and some xp if it meant the satisfaction of a map-wide reward for major accomplishes like that.
How about just making badge gear not worthless trash it is? I think that would be a good reward for wvw.

How is the badge gear worthless? You can get max stat invaders gear with badges without ever setting foot into a PvE zone. You can get legendary crafting materials with badges…you can buy siege equipment with badges. The badges are fine.
The only changes I would like to see with badges are making siege equipment ONLY purchasable with badges (not gold) and the commanders compendium should only be available by badges (like 500 or something) not 100g.
Yes, this is something I strongly feel is missing from the experience. A true motive for victory gives more purpose and makes everything much more exciting.
I think it should reward players with a class/race skin with no special effects other than changing your gear into something epic looking.
Reskin and add new PvP gear with stats like Power, Condition Damage, and Toughness. PvP badges are more difficult to get than pve badges. The rewards should be noticeable. When you wear a full set of PvP gear you look like a level 1 that just cleared the mini boss. For a game that’s all about skins the hardest to get armor in the game is the ugliest. Doesn’t make sense.
I actually really like the PVP bonuses right now. I know we are one of the servers crushing(Yak’s bend) And we have 20% Crafting crit, 14% extra gathering, 8 % gold find and XP, and a tons of other stuff.
It was really excellent when I was mining in ORR last night.

WvW is not a grind its not farming
WvW is enjoyable thats its own reward it already gives silver/exp/karma rewards and armor/weapons as well
World of Warcraft has #%ed up alot of players thinking for some reason everything should be a grind and its only worth doing if there is gear at the end

Really, though, you get enough decent stuff from drops just by participating right now, and don’t underestimate the cumulative effects of those passive bonuses from points. I wish they would auto-loot rewards in WvW, though; it’s just a distracting nuisance having to hit [F] in the middle of fight right now so I can afford by repair bills later.
What have you gotten hat is decent as loot? Other than some badges I can count on one hand the number of salvage items I get. Then I get some junk armor/blues occasionally. A few trophies. I’ve never had a siege blueprint or anything I can use, other than badges, drop.
Then again I play a support guardian so my rewards are significantly reduced, so that is likely part of my problem.
? I do not understand this reward for playing thing?
Do you not get loot for killing things in WvW? Do you not get badges which you can use to buy stuff? Do you not get silver? Umm doesn’t capturing or defending a location not give karma, silver and XP?
So let me get this straight you want additional rewards for playing in WvW? So if they did say offer us more XP or more money in WvW would it not be a true statement that PvE then would be not as rewarding?
Seems like a great idea to me! Yes lets make WvW more rewarding then PvE. That way players ALL flock to WvW and never bother to PvE anymore. Suits me just fine since spend most my time in WvW.
If you did not get my sarcism, you already get equally rewarded in WvW as you do in any other aspect of the game. I will actually go out on a limb and say you can potentially earn more XP/money in WvW then PvE in X amount of time provided you are participating in defending/capturing a keep/tower/garrison.

Everyone on this page should look at my thread a point system for WvW to make it endgame i feel you all will agree the more people who post on it the better of a outcome and maybe they will add it
We dont Want WvW to be about gear cause then this game isnt about skill its about gear read my post you will like it

That I would disagree. At level 80 it would be wayyy more profitable to farm orr…more profitible in every way. Chaining De’s, farming resources etc… the comparison isn’t even close
I would play this game for years if I can unlock following skills:
- Ban speedhackers
- Kick AFKers
- Teleport people farming mobs
I prefer a “lack” of rewards, so the people who play WvW are the people who enjoy WvW, and not a bunch of farming randoms who clog up the queue for their rewards while alt-tabbing to the forums to complain about how unbalanced/terrible WvW is.

the endgame is pvp, the rewards are winning or getting better so you can win next time
@Scribbles
Why are you preferring a “lack” of rewards when the rewards proposed here are only for WINNING? Thus only those who contribute to a server’s WIN over another would receive such rewards.
Think before you post people.
There is suggestion for Realm(Server or World) rank with not game-breaking reward specifically for WvWvW if anyone would like to partake in conversation
However I think this thread is talking more along the lines of server-wide reward instead of individual reward, I don’t think it makes sense to award EVERY player on server for winning.
Some really cool looking gear and weapon skins/sets would be nice reward.

Is this some kind of cheat or hack? Anet supposedly banned the teleport gun in WvW. How can a mesmer still teleport a big group of people into a keep? The mesmer just hid somewhere in the Keep without being found by the defenders? Then Anet has to make mesmer portal one-way, not two-way.
This is what I would like. A ranking system, people want status, people want to progress, I know I want to.
Let’s say we got 10 ranks in WvW, veteran, captain, commander, warhero whatever. Them titles and ranks would be sick imo. So people could earn their little ‘commander’ status actually through PvP not buying it for 100g.
Prime example for me is warhammer (also rift, swtor and so many other games) with the PvP levels. I would actually play WvW 24/7 seriously. I would get exp for pvp ranks for every invader kill, keep defense etc. And on the battlefield people can see your rank. Also imo decent would be that if the player is high rank, whoever killed him gets more xp/more badges/better loot in general. And for specific ranks there would be pvp vendors with epic skins for weapons, armor, whatever.
Would only encourage players to play WvW. I can 100% guarantee I would quit PvE for that.
The games I mention all had some sort of pvp ranks and items which you gained through pvp. Ranks and titles, status. Was brilliant imo. In warhammer I never did any PvE at all, I literally did RvR the whole time after reaching max level. Same with other games, I’ve gone PvP 100%.
I know sPvP has something similar, but I’m not a fan of small scale pvp, I want the big epic battles for keeps etc. Also basically sPvP is completely seperated from the rest of them game. WvW is not and that’s what I like.
Atm WvW in general is good, the whole concept and the maps etc. But it’s not rewarding enough, I have no status and I don’t progress at all.
All I gain from WvW atm is karma which I dont need and badges, which give me armor, which I dont need again…
And those ranks and rewards imo don’t take anything away from WvW ? It would only make things better I can’t see why not implement something like this.

Giving some sort of reward, especially badges, would probably motivate people more.
Anything that gives me more of those shiny badges is a good thing.
A ranking system would be sweet it doesnt even have to be a big long progression system either. DAoC had what? 13 ranks? But it took forever to rank up through them any form of progression is welcomed.
Some unique skins for equipment would be welcomed also and needing to spend badges/plus have a certain rank to purchase. Not asking for anything to make me more powerful just more unique styles is always a welcomed thing to me.
Also leaderboards so people can look at wvw status on a webpage and also check and see who their servers “Heroes” are. I am actually surprised this game launched without a lot of these things already in place.

I’m sorry I didn’t fully explain. We knocked down one of the side inner gates while the other two teams were fighting out front. Then we held AT the gate while the mesmer ran in alone (since the defending team was still very distracted at the front). He went into the back of the lord room without being noticed and set down his portal, letting us all appear instantly instead of having to all run in as a big group (which would have been spotted more easily).
