Champion Rewards
Champions in the game will be updated so each will always drop a guaranteed reward box for any player that qualifies for a reward from the boss. This chest will contain things like crafting materials, skill points, unique skins, lodestones, and more. This change will make champions more rewarding, and will make playing in Orr and Southsun Cove (where events can scale up to add champions) more exciting and fruitful for guilds and players joining together in the open world.
Will these new champion reward boxes apply to tower/keep lords? Please say yes!

You had better believe it! Which is a yes.
Now that, is some great news.
LFG FLIP TOWERS
At least make the rewards scale with player or how upgraded the structure is.. flipping paper towers shouldn’t have the same reward as flipping T3 hills.
No!! This means I will actually get loot for killing the grub! But I loved opening that enormous chest for 4 badges!(if I am lucky)
But what does this mean?
“for any player that qualifies for a reward from the boss”
“for any player that qualifies for a reward from the boss”
You have to tag it, in WvW tagging anything is like two hits.

I’d second this if only to avoid tower trading, or just make the Tower Lord an Elite rather than Champion. Its not like she’s actually threatening…
You had better believe it! Which is a yes.
Awesome! Thanks for the quick answer.
So even more encouragement for people to zerg from tower to tower and never defend anything…

LMAO at first I was like “O, that is nice!”, but after your post “Oh shiiiiii!!”.
Wow. Way to encourage more stacking of super stacked servers. Way to encourage blobbing in WvW. Unless Anet realizes this and only rewards based on whether how “outnumbered” the opponents are, this Champion thing is only going to make people do more “stacking” as commanders in maps usually ask for. Most commanders in WvW asks to stack so Anet is now encouraging “stacking”. LOL.
These champion tower lords should be strengthened against big groups. Considering they drop ridiculously fast. Refer to this thread

Karma training towers is still slower than zerg busting in terms of WXP/XP/Gold/Karma accrual, especially if you are zerg busting in defense of towers/objectives you own and tick even just once on the defenders event (in the time it takes to flip two towers, just by logistics of having to traverse the distance, kill the gate, and then cap the circle, you’ll get two ticks of defenders which is worth a tower + everything you earned defending said tower). The problem will be that defending won’t get you a fancy chest but you still get a lot of bags defending. Just karma training undefended towers will get you all of a single chest with some materials in it… cool?
That said, there probably should be more done to make just karma training a bit less… easy? Let’s go with that word. Scaling the lord is probably the best solution as it gives some appeal to smaller squads.

THIS.
Anet, you’re killing your game. Reward mindless zerging and lack of tactical play more. Time to organize some Tower/Keep trading! Or wait, I don’t even have to do that, your system of rewards encourages it automatically with how WxP works! Hum, way to throw more fuel on to the fire.
I wonder what WvW will look like in six months.
Can’t wait to get all these great rewards! Way to go anet!!!
More loot for WvW: good.
Only gripe, it might encourage the flipping/WPX zerg trains even more, but that’s bad already so nothing will really change…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Flip war goes into the next round. I don’t like it.
Replace all the Lords with Lyssa’s Gorillas.
The last thing WVW needs is more incentives to zerg around trading keeps for WXP and avoiding any actual fighting.
