Guild Wars 2

First off, I’d like to point out a fatal flaw in the current system of tracking a “completed” dolyak escort task. Currently, it will only provide completion effort if the dolyak travels all the way to a keep or castle, but if the team that owns a camp does not have that keep or castle, and someone escorts/protects the dolyak to each tower (the half-way point), then those people are NOT given any achievement completion for completing that tasks. Last night, I escorted over 60 dolyaks to Quentin Lake Tower and received 0 achievement completions as a result; however, my team did not own the Castle; thus, for some reason, Anet does not consider this to be enough for an achievement completion.

Secondly, there are no rewards!!! Sure, a title when you escort enough of them (and mind you, escort them all of the way to the castle/keep), but when you complete the achievement for escorting them – you no money, no karma, no experience, and barely even a pat on the back!!! Really!?!?! I could spend 30min running around and killing Sentries and make 10 times more rewards than I would spending 4 hrs escorting dolyaks. The only rewards given is 10 WXP per mob killed that had been intended to destroy or stall a caravan.

Third, on top of the fact that nothing is given for those dedicated few that wish to escort dolyaks, there’s the fact that when a zerg passes through a friendly dolyak and accidentally (or purposefully) gives them a speed boost – they are given a bronze achievement reward for completing that task. Should a single speed boost per player really count as an entire achievement being accomplished!? That’s like saying that someone who runs the entire 1-mile track is no different than the person who ran only 3 feet of that track. It’s unfair and needs to change.

Yeah this has been stated many many times that the rewards system is rather bad especially that you get nothing for escorting. I dont think it will be changed anytime soon because the devs have better things to do…… like repair mastery and traps……..

And have this happen again….nope, fine as is

Oh man echo i remember those days….. dang bots ruin it for everyone. Also it looks like a bunch of those guys are actual people so that is just sad.

Towers also don’t get the extra supply that comes with escorting, at least not on the borderland when I was escorting on the west side into the keep. Woodhaven wasn’t getting extra supply for escorting.

Personally I always just assumed that that achievement was bugged/impossible and never attempted it. If I do end up escorting dolyaks, it is not because I want any sort of personal reward, its because I want to help my server win.
