Because of the inherently flawed mentality of “everybody is a winner even if they lose”
This is what I see happening with league rewards, it will be such a let down that it will explode on the forums with malcontent and people raging.
Rewards
- The only real difference in reward levels will be the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place dolyak finisher.
- Every meta achiever, winner or loser will get to open the reward chest, 4th place onward gets no finisher.
- Loads of green items, tonics, fireworks, 3 rare items, 2 exotics.
- Gold reward: 1st place 25g, 2nd place 20g, 3rd place 15g.
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophy for your home instance.
- New title of WvW awesomeness.
Only 1st place in each league will get a finisher. The rest? Who knows, but I’m not expecting much TBH. Mediocre rewards is probably a good thing actually.
I doubt we will see more than 2g. No new title, you already got one if you finished the cheevs. My bet is some wxp, 50s, greens and blues, 1/1000 will find an exo or ascended, and an account bound dolyak mini.
Nothing better to promote WvW season 2 than some kick kitten loot for season 1. Reward those who put in effort to win, and encourage the losers to try better next time. Bad loot isn’t good for future seasons, and could hamper interest before they even begin.

Seems like you haven’t been in WvW long. A large part of what dictates the score in WvW is your active WvW player population (which has no relation at all to overall server population). If a server only has 200 WvW players over a day, they’re obviously going to lose to a server that has 600 wvw players over a day. No amount of trying will make the lower WvW population server do better if they don’t have the manpower.

There is no way any of the rewards should be something you cant/wont use in WvW. Blue/greens should not even cross their minds as giving us rewards. At least we can sell/salvage rares/exotics for something useful.
The rewards at minimum should at least be 1G, some badges, siege blueprints, maybe traps, wxp bottles, maybe some wxp boosters. If they want to entice people to actually join WvW for league, then they will have to buff the rewards severely.
Some people are in it for the fights, but I can guarantee, the vast majority of people are not.

I think those servers who have less people are done more to get those points. So perhaps the reward should get divined by the number of peeps. That would serve right for those players who fled from one server to another to chase rewards… like runaways from Gunnars Hold. Right Latinkuro

I bolded the parts THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Because 1) that would inflate the prices on the TP somewhat, 2) there really would be no point in that, it’d have no real purpose at all and be out of place, and 3) the title would really only go to the servers that people mass transferred to, thus winning the league just due to numbers (which Anet I’m pretty sure admits is a problem).

Community concern is that incentives will be high enough to draw players to transfer up the tiers, killing even more low tier servers, over filling silver tiers with players and so forth for gold. Can you comment on any plans to address community size issues?
I can’t comment at this time as we haven’t finalized anything. (…)The rewards for finishing 2nd in the Bronze League will be markedly better than the rewards for finishing 6th in the Gold league.

However do not work for those who have been fighting against uneven odds for whole season. Matchmaking sucks really hard. Hopefully the forget this season thing.

Why would the terribads who tanked their rating and stacked the top of silver league get better rewards than the people who fought tooth and nail to get into gold league?
This is the sort of thing that makes everyone shake their head and ask why you have a job.
“We recognize that the changes to [ele] will essentially remove it from play. In the future,
we may consider whether or not there is an incarnation of [ele] that would be viable
but balanced. For now, we do not expect it to see serious use.” – ANet
The reward gonna be – 20 silver 15 copper, Dolyak finisher, 1 green items, 2 blue item, 150 badges of honor and 2 Charged Lodestones, at first Anet planned to give only 1 but then they realized it will be unfair for those individuals playing wvw 24/7

That would be implying I transferred servers specially for leagues !
I transferred for 2 main reasons:
1- I moved to the Caribbean, so playing on a US server ensures lag free play for me rather than stay on an EU server.
2- I found a great guild with the right mission statement for me to join, they simply happen to be on BG, 3 weeks after my transfer WvW season 1 was announced. label me lucky I guess.
EDIT
Also while on Gunnar’s I never ever played WvW at all it was always an unorganized mess.
on BG I started playing WvW and loved it so much I went from Rank 1 to 100+ in the few weeks that league has been going on.
