I thought that with the guild merit system and all the hard work Arenanet has been putting into it, adding many new rewards and ways for guilds to grow beyond what was initially offered, we should have a guide on how to obtain those rewards in WvW, for guilds and players that primarily focus on world vs world content.
Step 1) You can’t.
This concludes the guide. I hope that has cleared up any questions you may have had!
That’s fine. I don’t want to earn dungeon tokens in WvW either.
But we seriously need a way to get ascended gear in WvW. Seriously. It’s only been November, December, January, February, March, and now April.

Seriously.
I mean really at this point you would have thought that they would have implemented the log in bag. This bag would include:
-1 laurel everyday and 10 laurels once a month
-10 guild comms
-another small bag full of rare gear
-a random precursor every three months
That way everyone can play the way they want with no qualms.
Edit: I forgot:
-a random stack of t6 mats
-a confusion removal device
-something to do with a bank full of ascended rings

Only if it is slightly harder to get than in PvE. Otherwise we are going to have every PvE’er in WvW trying to get their ascended gear.

As long as the method for getting the ascended gear forces them to be productive members of a wvw group, there’s absolutely no problem with that.

Exactly. If the player is bashing down the door of a keep because he wants ascended gear, well bless his little heart because he’s just as good as the players who are doing it to improve our server ranking and he’s better than the soloists out there organizing duels behind the wind mill.
Ideally, getting gear should be exactly as easy through WvW as PvE, with the deciding factor being “which one do I enjoy more”.
But this thread isn’t about gear.
It’s about guild advancement in WvW, namely that when it comes to merits, there isn’t any. An entire new system of advancement and rewards is simply not available to WvW guilds.
I can get ascended gear, eventually, through laurels. I can never get merits, short of going out to do mindless, boring PvE junk.
I don’t see why they couldn’t add a guild mission to take something. Level 1 tower, level 2 keep, and level 3 stonemist. Boom. WvW guild mission. Money please, ANet.
They should’ve split WvW and PvE storage. Make it like Path of Exile’s Hardcore and Default league. So you can’t bring PVE drops into WvW, but you can transfer WvW drops to PVE. That would’ve made drops in WvW far more valuable, and allowed them to maintain a parity of gear progression in PVE without impacting WvW.
