Guild Wars 2

I know the whole legendary weapon issue was very recent but hear me out.

What could bring back players to WvW if not a legendary incentive?
Legendary weapons can be earnt in all of PvE, back items can be earnt in both PvE and in PvP and soon the new legendary armor will be earnt by a very small and very niche part of the PvE community.

Why not bring a set of Legendary Armor to be the ultimate reward for palying WvW? So that WvW can have something of it own. The current back items are great as they can be earnt in the mode you enjoy/prefer and also are a reason many play more PvP than they normally would.

Giving WvW a legendary armor set would not only bring in fresh blood to WvW and help revive it, but would also give us more ways to earn the ultimate rewards in the modes we enjoy playing, not being forced into modes we dont really care about.

What do you guys think?

I think main reason developers do not want to include very good rewards in WvW is possible foul play. It is very easy to agree with enemy player or enemy guild to “farm” them in WvW for possible legendary reward.

Players do it in PvP, if there is enough rewards they will do it in WvW too.

@ FogLeg , Arenanet can link it to WvW achievements

How about:
-match ups that are decided by the better server not the bigger night crew
-balanced skills
-a meaningful scoring system
-a balances fighting environment?

Legendary incentives don’t necessary bring the people you want to the game mode. Look at the PvP backpiece and the long list of complaints about people who farm their profession achievements or just have no idea how to PvP.

It would suck if there were massive queues from people trying to farm their legendary rather than actually play WvW and prevent those who want to WvW from getting in due to queues.

Not sure how I feel about Legendary Armor in WvW, I mean WvW Needs love, and lots of it, but.. I am not sure if going Legendary Armor, is the right way to go.

I know everyone is talking about Legendary Armor right now, but.. ya know what I would love to see?

Unlocking something like, Legendary Siege Golems.

Given the discussions that have been going on here in the WvW forum I didnt mention this as it was obvious and devs responded.

You guys did have valid points. Perhaps implementing this as an achievement collection, but I do see such an implementation could make people just capture 2 towers and get 5 kills per day before going afk.

Nothing is obvious in wvw
I’m sorry I thought you meant it to be an alternative while there are no other changes.

But I’m gonna stay with my opinion. Real pvp players don’t care about rewards. Victory is their reward. All you have to do is put some effort in it at the beginning and all you have to care about in the next couple of years is a bit of balancing.
