Guild Wars 2

Based on this dev comment, an r70 player will only receive 10 chests when they get bumped to 80. And and r55 player will get 25!

I’m just r51 myself, but I think this is completely screwing over the most loyal, dedicated and most hard working and awesome people to play this game.

I say those who reach r70 should receive a 2-3 precursors for each rank above r65. And some map completion rewards as well. Anyone agree with me?

And these rewards are just a token. They don’t come close to rewarding the real effort put into the game by these guys.

and what about the rank 70 skyhammer glory farmers?

Chilli.2976:

Them too. Not all skyhammer farmers are r70. There are just a handful of r70 players. They deserve rewards for their dedication.

Chilli.2976:

They never dealt with them. Honestly it’s a bit more of a slap in the face to skyhammer farmers since the rank 70s that actually deserve it didn’t grind for it…

Also, sadly they’re never going to even reconsider their compensation. It’s the a-net way. When something gets announced it’s already set in stone. Not apologies, no saying “Woops, you’re right! we kittened up and these players should be rewarded!”. They’re just gonna go forward with what the said and hand out dragon finishers to everyone

Ya, they really need to at least get compensation for every 20k extra rank points they farmed past 81.

At the very least. Very least. I mean…no one tries to hit r70 just for the reward boxes. You do it for the prestige. For the finisher. Now Anet is making all that useless.

I don’t understand the mentality. The developers are not bad people, so why are they behaving like this?

You guys read the blog post.

Hory shet, luckily I am one of the very small percentile who’s gotten Bear! I will accept this great prestige of Dragon rank, lol.

Who had any idea that a small percentage of players equated to 80% of the active pvp population?!?!

I’d love to see the exact number of these -special few-

Chaith seem to remember you were bear Jan 2013 XD

At least you guys are getting something. To avoid the chest bug I’ve ranked up a smurf account to rank 54.

So instead of r70 rewards I’ll be getting two lots of r55-60 :’(

Oh just re read the post.. 2 rank 80 accounts tyvm

What’s this new progression thing all about then?

Phaeton.9582:

haha grats…

progression = pve mats

I don’t think we need PvE mats.

Sorry if this is controversial XD

the track rewards are a step in the right direction. I just hope they’ll focus on ladders/seasons and get more pvp exclusives in (not just back items).

Well, now that you have Dragon – don’t you want a big shiny sword? legendary

Not if it stops me doing spvp/gives me carpel tunnel syndrome :p

I agree with this. I think the update is great and will bring many new players in, and that is definitely good for everyone.

But yeah give us those ladders and seasons already! It will be awesome with all those players playing.

As I understood it from the stream, they are still going to get lvl ups (and stay at 80 like in pve), until the levels correspond to the rank points. So it’s actually going to be a lot more than 10 chests an more like 50? 60?

No, a dev comment earlier said no one would get more chests than 81-(current rank). So technically an r79 player would get 1 chest. That’s it.

good thing there are no R79s around, they would sure be MAD!

From what evan lesh said they would keep rolling over like in pve. They even used oeggs as an example….. Sounds to me me like he is going to be getting a butt ton of chests…… Ifn there was a post saying other wise can I get a link?

I don’t think that rank farmers should be awarded. I think that the ones who should be awarded are soloq/teamq players. Rank means nothing at all. If you liked to farm skyhammer – that was your choice, but it doesn’t prove your skill in any form, while tournament wins do.

Hard work needs to be rewarded. It would require an extraordinary amount of dedication to reach r70 farming or not. This is an MMO. Farming is important. But I’m pretty sure that hardly any dedicated skyhammer farmer has reached r70.

And with the old system, they already got their chests so I don’t see the issue. I hit r49 under the new system and honestly, I am not impressed with either of the chests, but I don’t PvP for loot. With the new system, I actually get to get some cool stuff. A lot of the PvPers are starting to sound like PvE’ers in this thread. It’s good to see we are more alike than we’d like to admit. Instead of Legendaries and shiny objects it’s, “Give me my prestige! Make me stand apart from the crowd! Being at the top of the leaderboard isn’t enough! I want an object that only I have accesss to!”

Iason Evan.3806:

Not sure if sarcastic. The new chests are far better and dedicated players will be getting fewer ones than less dedicated players. In which universe is that reasonable, fair, or just?

There was never any difference between PvP and PvE players. Everyone plays for something. For most people PvP has always been about prestige.

Where exactly are you getting your numbers just because the pvp population is small and you face the same 15 people it doesn’t mean that the pvp population has that many people above rank 50. You must be off your meds if you think there are more players over rank 50 than under. This rank crap is hilarious if a player is good people in that population will know he’s good(I use that word sparingly because this game has a low skill ceiling) based on his name not some finisher

If you read my posts I change the numbers and % every time because we DON’T know the real data. It was hilarious and sad when we kept hearing grouch day there would be TONS of dragons during the RU and the other devs trying to reel him back in.

I said ACTIVE PvP population. If you’re active in PvP and haven’t hi r50 then that’s pretty pathetic.

I rarely see anyone in Team Arena who is below rank 40, and most are above rank 50.

Just give them a legendary skin of choice

I suffered through no chest bug on 2 accounts.. Shame we will never be compensated.

I was champion genius on a rank 20…lol

The rank farmers do not deserve anything. While I do feel for the precious few people who worked their way there honestly this is for the better. Besides, ANet didn’t give anything to fractal players when they reset that so why make Skyfarmers the exception here? That would be plain wrong.

And they were wrong with the fractals reset, as community feedback as shown. Why make the same mistake?

Why does it matter if a lot of people have the same pixel? You make it sound like these pixels will make the players better. Like I said if you’re a good player you would make a name for yourself instead if relying on oh I grinded x amount of hours which is silly. Guess that means I’m pathetic with 2k tourney games at rank 47.

It matters.
