Guild Wars 2

We all know that scouting/dolly escorting is one of the most important job, and most of the time gives you a negative profit as you have to upgrade camps, towers, keeps, drop (defensive) sieges. (And now even the supply trap costs gold, too.)

Idea:
New Account bound currency called something like Badge of the Supporter (BotS).

You can get it for successful defensive events and dolly escorting. (Maybe exclude SM, as it’s tagged almost all the time, too easy to “farm” defensive events there. EotM is not a problem as ppl are not defending there.)

You can use these BotS for:

-Purchasing Upgrades in objectives for BotS and not for Gold (with some nice GUI button you can choose).

-Purchasing a new (Acc-bound) Item which can give you back the Rune/Sigil from your WvW-gear but not materials. Even if the Rune/Sigil will get Acc-bound, I believe it’s still a needed Item.

-Maaaaybe you can purchase Acc-bound superior Runes/Sigils for BotS, you can’t sell them but at least you don’t have to pay 30-40-50g for your runes/sigils only. My only problem with it is that I fear they’ll use bots to get BotS and not actively Supporting your server.

-Purchasing Siege is not a good idea as you can sell them, same reason as above.

(I believe someone already posted a similar concept, but I can’t use the build-in search engine on the forum )

This sounds great, but they probably won’t go anywhere near the runes. But upgrading currency would be awesome.

AFAIK, dolyaks don’t give reward for defeding the caravan because of easy botting, so any kind of currency related to it is risky

I should give you lessons how to come up with creative names.

And that’s the reason why I think that Acc-bound rewards would be a fair trade. Even if Anet can’t ban the farmers (others says that they did a good job in pve with bots, I’m not playing there so idk.. and botting on the TP is better anyway), if all you can buy is things for your everyday wvw, or things from which you need like 10, I don’t think it’ll cause massive-bot invasion to wvw or would drastically damage the economy. And ofc “buying” upgrades are not generating any money, just saves you some.

I know that I’m not creative, but as the dolly-escort rewards were farmed by bots, I just couldn’t resist to name this way ^^
(My original plan was to give the BoH name to this one and rename the old Badge of Honor to Badge of Karmatrain, as farming npc’s in EotM gives you no Honor in any way, but I believe Anet don’t wanna hurt the eotm-farmers. )
