Guild Wars 2

Went out roaming for an hour WvW today, as I require 60 more badges for the next war room upgrade. I figured, 60 would be easy to get. From a normal quick roaming session.

For the first 30 minutes I wasn’t paying attention to my currencies. Then I checked. No change. So I started watching after each capture event.

I took 5 sentries, 2 camps and several shrines.

No badges. Nothing.

From the standpoint of guild hall war room progress, this is a serious bug.

I have done some additional investigation on this. 2 days ago I roamed with a buddy for about an hour and we took 4 camps, a ton of dolys and a few sentries. later on he took a keep with some friends of ours. here are our results:

camp 1: 2 badges
camp 2: 0 badges
camp 3: 1 badge
camp 4: 0 badges
keep 1: 1 badge

we both got 10 badges from 1 daily and 20 from another daily.

these results just feel low to me. I am mostly a roamer — camps, dolys, sentries and towers. prior to HoT I remember being able to go into WvW for a few hours and be able to afford buying a weapon or piece of armor from the WvW badge vendor. at least 100 badges in a few hours.

to make matters worse, we now need them for certain guild hall war room upgrades.

i know EotM badge drops were nerfed, but it feels like WvW proper drop rate was nerfed as well.

please look into this. it’s a significant hamper to progress. thanks!
