Guild Wars 2

I have been working on A Pack Dolyak’s Best Friend Achieve otherwise I probably would have never noticed this.

Before the patch escorting a dolyak from a tower to a keep would get you gold once you got it to the keep door no matter if it was a regular dolyak or a fast one. I got it on the longer dolyak routes as well as the shorter ones. This was EBG from Umberglade -> Bravost -> Keep.

After the patch escorting a dolyak might get you a silver getting it to the door and I noticed that one area had fast dolyaks and I still got silver for escorting yesterday. This was on EBG and we were escorting them from the cave exit from Pangloss -> Veloka Tower -> Keep and only got silver.

Both areas are pretty close in distance for the escort so they should both award gold for escorting from the tower to the keep.

A side issue is the Participation because escorting a regular dolyak will invariably cause participation decay even on the shorter routes. A longer dolyak route pretty much guarantees no participation benefit at all. A fast dolyak will only get you enough participation to run to the next dolyak before it starts the decay.
