In wvw, with wvw reward I imagine the OP means.

I’d also wonder when we can finally get sigils and runes in WvW. There’s still a bunch that are pve/dungeon exclusive.

Never.
You see, badges are no longer a WvW currency. You can get a lot of badges from your achievement reward chests. And most achievementpoints, by far, come from pve.

PvE players have litterally thousands of badges stacked up from these achievement chests. Whereas a lot of WvW players actually spend those badges on siege, or to get a little bit more coin, or to gear an alt.

Adding something that could also be worthwhile for pve players to a WvW vendor, like sigils or ascended gear, for badges will more then anything be a benefit to pve players.

careful what you ask for, I can easily see anet charge 100,000 badges and 250 ecto for an ascended backpiece. leave it alone for now – if you complain too much now, then we can’t complain about how insanely priced they made it when it comes – it’s bad enough they insist we should grind for stats. :x

This always mystified me. Why the hell are badges so easy to get for people who don’t even WvW? Completely defeats the purpose of a WvW-specific currency. You don’t even have to pretend to try to WvW or grind EB jump puzzles for the gift of battle anymore.

Play the way you want™, but if lots of PvE people buy lots of gems then we’re going to make everything 100 times easier for them, sorry guys.
