Guild Wars 2

Anet it’s time for some rewards for those who:

Siege up properties and refreshing same (WXP is NOT a reward it’s a measure of time)

Commanding – Open to suggestions but mentions in season ending comments on a wall of some kind would be nice – one we can see on the net as well as in the game

Defend – Defending – as in sitting there alone for hours as a lookout and trying not to go nuts from the boredom but it must be done

I am sure there are other boring mechanics that need to be ‘rewarded’ to be able to draw people into and keep them in WvW – brainstorm away.

Are you nuts?? Why should they do something like that?
Isnt wvw great when no1 sieges up anything and when no1 defends anything??
One huge karma/champion train where in order to get your loot you have to break in some wooden doors?

In the upcoming (soon TM) CDI I am sure there will be many ideas on how to reward players more for doing the grunt work (defending, scouting etc.) but the problem does not lie in rewards it lies in exploits.

A few months or so back escorting dolyaks gave decent wxp and even made you feel you were part of the overall game. But then along comes the bots and suddenly ANet tweaks it to the point of being worthless. What you ask for would be very nice to have, but unless they have an optical eye scan built into the game to prove a human is at the wheel, it will most likely never happen.

I too like to defend, but lets face it, any “bot” could sit idle in a tower/keep and be rewarded for nothing but sitting there. Hence, easily exploited.

As for the commanding side of things, I too would like to see rewards given out to those that command. Although as is with the defend side of things there is nothing to stop a bot from putting on a tag and sitting afk for hours to rake in that sweet loot.

In a nutshell, a few bad apples don’t just ruin the bunch, in this case they destroy the whole kitten harvest.
