Guild Wars 2

I understand that the Badges will drop maybe from a bag of loot awarded for stomping a player.

If I chose to play a character that will only buff / support / protect my team mates means that I will not get badges, correct?

If I chose to play a character that does low damage, etc, means that I will not get badges, correct?

And no, I do not want to do the Jumping puzzles to get badges; for me that`s a stupid concept.

Most support builds are actually really good at 1v1 combat. I’ve farmed nearly all of my badges just doing roaming 1v1.

that may be, but I`m not what you would call “a skilled pvp-er” and in w3 I have 12 fps… old PC. So I`m not sure how many 1v1 will my guardian win

The only thing that needs to happen is that instead of getting 1 badge every 10-15 players you kill, you should get a badge for every player you kill.

you dont need to stomp a player to get a bag, just deal copious amounts of damage to them, let stomp duty do the stomping.

fine so no badges then.

The issue the OP has is he can’t deal massive amounts of damage in zerg combat due to his lack of burst. The only way for him to get a large enough % of the damage on any given target is to solo them.

Try manning some siege equipment either in defence or attack – arrow carts are probably the best for this. Periodically just click leave, spam pickupus and then use again – only takes a second to grab the bags.

The system was built for melee professions period. Must be nice to get 1000 of badges for some professions and hardly any for others.

That would make thing extreme easy…

This. Buy some siege blueprints (ACs are pretty cheap), learn good placement and may the candy cane bring you many bags ^^.

Side note: jobs like camp capping can also get you badges as they regularly drop from the supervisors. Perhaps not as glorious, but often enough the reason your zerg triumphs in the end.
