Guild Wars 2

why do we get ponts towards the track on server tick?

progression/wXP would be the direction i’d take. so it actually would feel like you are rewarded for doing stuff and the pace of the rewards would be determined by your performance rather than how much you karma train and afk on EB taking the place from others.

If you afk you lose participation % and then don’t get any track progress.

Though I do agree it would have been better to just have WvW exp instantly convert into reward track progress.

It couldn’t hurt to have wXP gain supplement the tick progress.
The tick progress gets people into the game, and encourages them to help out with that which doesn’t rake in the wXP.
