Guild Wars 2

I don’t think i like how Anet did the WvW Reward track. It’s too timegated… I understand (or at least i think i do) that it’s time gated to keep players busy until the next expansion… but people literally just now get T6 in WvW then just afk at spawn until reward track is starting to go down. The amount of tickets and time consuming gameplay doesn’t make it fun to get , it makes it feel like another job. Why couldn’t you guys just add more tickets for each chest instead of making it capped at diamond NON-REPEATABLE and waiting a whole week until you can start again. I dont know about a lot of the other players… BUT I DON’T PLAY VIDEO GAMES to feel like I’m working another god kitten job. Very frustrated with the amount of tedious gameplay needed to achieve something. It doesn’t feel “LEGENDARY” at all…. Just TIME GATED.

You’re the one making it into the job, not anybody else. It’s not supposed to be easy to get. If you aren’t having fun then why exactly are you doing it? If you enjoy wvw then who cares about a cosmetic reward? You’ll get it eventually.

Man I’ve been playing WvW since launch, but recently more casually than competatively. If they had implemented this new pip and ticket system earlier, I would have probably already had enough for the legendary backpack already. But I ain’t complaining, wvw has always been very rewarding already.

It’s as nosleepdemon said, if you take the grind out of the equation and play for fun, you’ll get to your goals eventually.

It’s not like wvw wasn’t already kitten on in terms of rewards before hand. If you look at things that way, what we have now is at least an improvement!

You say it feels like a job, and you want to add more tickets that you can earn per week so it feels even more like a job?

I find fractals to make a fairly decent amount, although I’ll be kitten ed if I can ever get anything to drop from them that isn’t the Red Ring of Death.

The back-piece for WvW I find to be extraordinarily hideous. It’s far too large for a start, it appears to completely and totally overpower any other armour effect, and to make matters worse the precursor / lower tier versions look obviously incomplete. Were I going for it, I wouldn’t even bother to use the other skins, unlike Ad-Infinitum’s precursor / lower tier skins, or even the spinal blade skins, which mostly look alright.

Been playing wvw since 4-5 years so those tickets aren’t a biggy to get through normal gameplay.

We that have PLAYED WvW all this time do not consider this Time Gated.

You that are new and want it right away do.

PLAY WvW or get another shiney.

It is time gated and that is just an objective fact regardless of how long you have played WvW, logical fallacies do not help further discussion.

Can’t speak for Trajan, but my feeling is the time gate feels appropriate which is why we don’t think of it as gated. It IS gated, and honestly, many of us are quite happy with the time. Mainly because we know, those that put the time in, and get it, have contributed to our favorite game mode.

Pip farmers contribute. Less than those that havoc or run with the Zerg, but flipping camps and sentries helps. Are there MORE helpful ways? Heck yes. But their flipping a sentry or flipping home camp is one less this others have to do.

im loving the fact that WvW is much busier now. Very easy to find fights. I dont care about counting every pip. Im just going to continue to play. So long as i get my max participation most of the time then the pips will eventually add up.

time consuming gameplay doesn’t make it fun

The actual problem here. This was just a feature creep update: a secondary reward track with a time gated token. This wasn’t a game play update, and so the game play hasn’t changed in regards to “fun.” I wouldn’t expect the game to be more “fun” with tokens. Time gated or not.
