Guild Wars 2

1. A Statue of the Winning server Immortalized in a separate instanced map that all can enter to view.
2. A special Effect added to Armour that signifies your winning Season 1, perhaps a Gold hued Armor Silver hued colour etc
3. Unlock a new skins vendor for current wvw vendors.

Giving better rewards to the server that wins implys that it was a competition to begin with. The winners of each league were practically preset before the season started. NSP an IoJ had no business in silver league yet they were put there anyway. It would have been a competition if they were in bronze but the Kaineng exodus messed that up for one of them.
The league intention was to incite a playoff like competition for server pride. Instead it just cause people to jump servers, steamroll, then guest onto the loosing servers and trash talk. This idea has bandwagon written all over it.

I don’t think any one was really complaining about the rewards for winning as much as the over all rewards. The winners got the finisher and a little bit more loot, just a little bit.

I think the main complaint was how lack luster the rewards were in general. It seems people would have been happier with some custom WvW skins and more WvW related loot like siege and badges.

I think that if you put more appealing rewards as well as achievements that really get you involved in the game rather than ticking off the list of whats the next AP to get, you might get more involvement and then maybe those who dont normally bother will get into it as well.

Then the incentives become secondary and u realize, dang! this is fun! (so long as it is fun and not repetitive task orientated spam that gives you know joy.

Some players will toil and suffer to get something that they find worth it, others wont.
