I’ve seen threads like this since the before the release of gw2

Never hurts to re-list ideas. Even if this thread isn’t really looked at closely by ANet, other people will read it. With that, maybe some of those people will find ways to improve others’ ideas and repost them in future threads. Then maybe, somewhere down the line, one of them will finally catch the attention of a Dev.

And with that comment, I’ll re-post an idea I was thinking about with rewarding scouts more.

Something I was thinking about, what about adding something like the “Perseverance” buff from Silverwastes into WvW, except EotM, to help give scouts more benefits. For people who haven’t visited the Silverwastes, basically this buff states,

“Gained by assisting Pact forces in the Silverwastes.
Removed upon leaving the map.
+30% Magic Find.
Bonus Magic Find When Opening Lost Bandit Chests.
Stacks intensity. "

The WvW version could be somewhat different though. Like it could be +WvWxp% and +MF% that is gained and receives more stacks only from succeeding certain events like defending a structure and walking dolyaks, not by taking towers and keeps. Each stack could increase the intensity of the +% and refresh it’s duration. After you’ve gotten possibly 3-5 stacks, you could talk with the lord of a keep or tower to redem it for a champ bag or another form of loot. This of course isn’t an all around solution to making tasks like scouting more rewarding but more of a start.
