WvW reward systems definitely need a revamp, but I think a quick first step would be to allow the purchase of wvw tourney tix with badges of honor so players can obtain mist forged weapons, extra crafting mats and stuff at a reasonable rate.
Thoughts?
Very good idea. Actually provides a way for hard core WvW players to get Ascended gear without having to go farm in PvE.
Only thing I would add to this suggestion is:
EotM Map implemented without WvW Rewards (i.e. Badges of Honor, WXP, WvW Achievements, Ascended Equipment, etc.)
That way the Badges of Honor really reward players that actually participate in WvW fighting…and not the Karma Trains that run through EotM.
Downside…can’t really determine which Current Badges of Honor were earned in WvW Borderlands/Eternal Battle Maps vs. EotM Map…so if this is done…EotM players will gain a huge bonus.

Unfortunately you get more badges of honor K-Traning in EotM because of the bonus chests. So I think it would only promote that map more, also that makes tournament rewards not as valuable (of coarse we need to have tournaments so we can get them).

They really do need to take badges and WXP out of EotM. Leave loot and karma for the Ktrain hordes, but remove the other WvW exclusive rewards to real WvW.
I would really enjoy a reward track of some kind in WvW. Seems to me that badges have fallen way behind the curve of other currencies.
