Guild Wars 2

Are you sure this is a good thing, Anet? As far as I remember, I used to farm EOTM while leveling a lot, which quickly took away the fun from WvW.
Then again, most of people probably wouldn’t play “real” WvW to begin with and just come to EOTM to play with a massive amount of people, earn karma and now many other cool things.

I don’t think trying to lock such things is any better. Then you have to deal with the same kind of unmotivated people, or people who are simultaneously leveling, but in WvW.
There are going to be people who will try to put as little effort into getting a reward, i’d much rather they do this in one of the many EotM overflows. There they can stand on all the sentry points.

For what it’s worth EoTM gives +414 to reward track every 15 minutes at max participation, WvW gives +550.

If this is true then it should be left alone; the incentive is there to play WvW for better rewards regarding the participation score you report. People should have options. Be mindful if all borderlands are indeed full and EOTM serves as an overflow “while you wait” as indicated on the wiki page, then I would think those players still want to be entitled to any rewards they rack up in EOTM whilst waiting for their queue to pop…

It’s a terrible idea in general to have the WvW armor reward track attainable in EOTM

That stuff is in beta mind you, atm it rewards pvdoor either way.

sorry im dumb, which reward track is the one with the so called ‘WvW armor’ ?

You should NOT get any reward tracks in EotM. Really dumb to allow it.

You would prefer the pve farmers clogged up real wvw?

Just in case you have missed it but we having a huge issue with getting new people into wvw maps. Those “pve farmers” might be the next recruit for your guild.
Without new people guilds will die and the game mode will die.

Incase you missed it, we’ve had plenty of events in the past where pve farmers had an incentive to get into WvW. The general concensus from the WvW players was that these players were detrimental to the WvW experience. They only mindlessly zerged, stood on every sentry point, hogged siege, wasted supply, etc etc.

What you’re saying would only apply to a small portion of the players, and i’d much rather see them go to EotM and experience some WvW there, get a taste for it and move to actual Borderlands because they want more WvW and not for the reward.

I know some people have a hard time dealing with this, but EotM is also WvW, and certainly for the last couple of months has been a place with consistently fairer fights while the Borderlands were abandoned and a true PvDoor fest.

Who gives a kitten if you can get it in EOTM. Let those people there get it idc. They’re also available in Spvp..

It is true. I got both WvW and EoTM up to full participation myself last night after the patch hit.

I also agree that it shouldn’t be changed. The numbers feel just about perfect as they are.
