Guild Wars 2

I propose that defense gets better rewards. It’s a boring tedious job watching a keep to see if invaders are coming to take it back, this is further exacerbated by the fact that rewards for defense are narrow and shortsighted. To my knowledge you only get rewarded if you kill an invader during the window where the event is up. That’s all well and good if you are manning an arrow cart, but what about other important things that need to be done?

Killing siege that has done damage to your walls/gates.
Repairs to walls and gates.
Rewards for an ally using your siege to kill invaders etc.

There should be an incentive to contribute your own resources for the betterment of your server.

I concur. Sometimes, I join in the defense of a Keep, spend my hard-earned resources to upgrade it, and fight as valiantly as I can for hours on end, before deciding to take a break and go somewhere else. If I worked hard to buy upgrades and place siege weapons, I should at least get Karma for doing so (Karma being the “I did something good for you, I get something good back” resource).
