Guild Wars 2

I just helped take Askalion Hills on Northern Shiverpeaks borderlands but event completion never triggered for me. Not only was I fully involved in taking down gates and taking out guards, I also stood in the control circle as our server regained control. That was 1300+ karma that I know I earned along with XP and money but I did not receive it. I’ve not yet noticed this glitch with any other events on any other borderlands. This would be the first time and I very much hope it will be the last.

I also noticed that I am not receiving anything for defending towers for 15 minutes or so . That happened like 3 times. Had a few kill counts, dealt plenty damage with AoE, and the event log just despawned after the timer reached zero. No reward, no medal. I only do WvW for monthly kills so I am not sure if there is a change recently, but I was receiving rewards for defending invasion previously.
Are they suggesting us not to defend towers but just keep repeat the “zerg, move elsewhere, let enemies take and retake” loop?
