As i expected pre-season pretty underwhelming rewards (but yea its WvW who really thought that they would be good). They might have as well given out to everyone participating.
The only really disappointing part is the limited finisher. As usual anet thanks for nothing.
Did you guys honestly expect lucrative rewards from WvW? If they did, then it would completely break WvW balance because everyone would flock over to a winning server.
If you want good reward-time spent ratio, then PvE is that way —-——→
I’m glad that Anet didn’t make WvW into a reward-based system.

Why, exactly, shouldn’t WvW be properly rewarded? What warrants for WvW having worse rewards than, the much easier, PvE content?
I transferred to desolation a few months ago to play PvE in a less dead server using in-game gold to buy the gems, who thinks anet made any money from people changing server? are people that poor (in game) or daft? (to use real money on gems)

Because WvW is a limited game mode. You have a limited number of players that can play it and also it has a direct goal. If WvW had comparable or better rewards, it would turn into a farm, it would kill the game mode and anyone that plays this game for WvW would end up quiting due to the lack of actual PvP happening in WvW.

Same reward spread across everyone who participated? Or different tiers of reward (and better) for servers that ranked higher?
If latter, that would break WvW completely as reward-seeking players would flock over to the winning server and cause it to stack.
If former, then that would cause tremendous queues in WvW, which WvW-players are already sick of. PvE doesn’t have queues, so it doesn’t suffer from players flocking to it. WvW does, and WvW-players want to play with and against other like-minded players who play for fights, not rewards.
If you’re complaining that WvW isn’t rewarding enough, nobody is stopping you from going over to PvE with rich rewards.

Least you guys get rewards. I feel bad for those of us that busted our kitten off but wern’t able to achieve the meta becasue we were ya know, actually helping our server… though by the looks of the rewards it seems I didn’t miss out on much. I got better loot from running AC1 and a fractal…

The answer is to give rewards that WvW people would care about more.
Such as WvW based titles, WvW only cosmetics (only visible in WvW), and an easy one, permanent WvW finishers. WvW skills (which may be an answer for some classes which dont have good WvW use)
The fear of PVE imbalance isnt a good reason for WvW to suck for rewards.
The truth is on average WvW across most servers is woefully underpopulated. It would actually be better for all if they could get a higher population in WvW regularly. Imagine if it wasnt only 3 servers which saw consistent play. You realize that while you may fear queues on your server, you are the exception rather than the rule.

you can offer the same rewards as pve but at a slower pace. Why not let us buy crafting mats for Asc gear with badges? You could double of triple the amount of dragonite and coin that drop from lords and we still wouldn’t touch PvE champ trains.
you could increase the chance of good drops off player kills (the tech is in game to lock rewards off someone who has died recently to lock farming). This makes fighting players and not doors important.
tons of ways to reward WvW with out making it a stand in for pve. Its just up to the devs if its something they really want to do.

Devon has already said they are constantly looking at WvW rewards and want to increase them but shares my concern that if they are to great and compete with PvE that it would be more harmful to the game mode.
Have you ever partook in a organized karma farm? You can gain a lot of ascended mats in a short time very easily…they want to avoid that being the norm of how WvW is being played….
If that is what the rewards are then this cowboy is not going to be spending 8-14 hours a day in WvW next season.
It took you 8-14 hours a day for 7 weeks to finish the meta?
I finished the meta at the end of the first week. The time spent was to insure my server finished first in our league in the hope of gaining a decent reward. If I had used that first week and ran temple runs I would have been way further ahead.
Were you guys really expecting a permanent finisher? Pah, it didn’t cost you gems to get it.
No I think expectations were that the rewards would be scaled to the time involved. Take a look at the rewards for 7 weeks of working to get your server to first place. Now how long do you think it would take to get those same rewards (minus the mini) if you had used that 7 weeks to run dungeons/temples/fractals.
Edit: Think about it in this way. A PvE player could have gotten the meta in a week easily and then gone back to PvE and run temples for the remaining 6 weeks. That PvE player would have gained way more then someone who devoted the full 7 weeks to WvW to insure their server finished as high as possible.
Forget the temples. If you just did Jormag daily for 1 week you would be better off then what was gained for 7 weeks.

Thx Anet for spiting in my and any others face. Never ending 2hour queues, achievemnt hunters, puzzle jumpers, skill delays, mega lags, no overflow www map, PVE scrubs – Noobs and Tards in WwWwW destroying anything they can and now this Chest full of ôôôô….WTB more face spiting from anet.
NA ones haven’t come out yet.. but.. did you really expect anything more than garbage? Honestly? They wouldn’t do that, you have to buy that from the gem store.
Laurels would have been at least nice, you know the equivalent for a monthly etc.

I transferred to desolation a few months ago to play PvE in a less dead server using in-game gold to buy the gems, who thinks anet made any money from people changing server? are people that poor (in game) or daft? (to use real money on gems)
As someone that has run a grand total of 4 instances and spends the rest of his time W3ing, and listening to the moans of many guildmates complaining of having 10g or less most of the time, then yeah many W3ers are poor. Yes laurels would have been nice, but no badges. I have badges flowing from my ears.
I for one do not care what the rewards are. I fought for the glory and honor of my Server – and I am proud of that accomplishment, because I like to think I did that.
Plus, I’ve made 90g profit, and a stack of 200 skill points as of today, just playing WvW and nothing else (no PvE at all, save guild missions). That’s AFTER repairs, buying some exotics on TP, buying consumables, buying SIEGE and MATS for siege, crafting sup siege, etc.
If you aren’t making money in WvW, you aren’t doing it right.
The rewards are just a bit of icing on the cake, and won’t bother me whatever they are, big or small. WvW is it’s own reward, for it’s fun factor, at least for me. The rewards just make it a bit sweeter.

Overall not impressed with this season reward as it was mostly just RNG junk and not even related to WvW.
Now that you mention “not even related to WvW”. Noone got any Badges of Honor unless i missed it. This is kinda hilarious.
Correct, no badges or siege bp’s or anything. Only thing related to WvW was that ‘Taste of WXP’. So it’s rather daft that this was supposed to be a ‘WvW Season Reward’.

If the rewards had been better then all the issues you listed above would be much much worse in season 2 if it ever happens. Be careful what you wish for.
Universal rewards + Few greens, 1 rare, 1 exotic (worth about 1g).
I never thought I would feel “lucky” about getting a 1g exotic… but after reading what others got…
Now think about how much time we spent… and how much was spent on siege/food/repairs/upgrades Vs. what we got in rewards. Such rubbish. What happened to making WvW more rewarding?
@Kreen if S2 was like that it might force them to do something about the problem (which would be better for the game as a whole). Not rewarding players + sweeping the problem under the rug isn’t good for anyone.
Same as every other 1st place server…. which is fine, but honestly for the length of this achievement and how big it was… youd think they wouldve given everyone a box… In this box is a choice of your precursor. Sell it or keep it, but you put forth the effort to get the key now get your reward. No matter your servers rank in the end. Make the reward bigger for ranks by giving out addition exotics/rares or extra tomes as well with maybe some mats… but the pre shouldve been given to everyone. give ppl cash or give them the last piece they need for their legendary. make everyone happy!
but the market the market!!! kitten the precursor market!, its run by .5% of the player base if not smaller and needs to crumble. Screw your broken rng system for the old legendaries. with the new legendaries, bring out the craftable precursors and DO NOT make the new legendaries tradeable nor the pre’s. /endrant
I wouldve been happier with a box for an ascended weapon or precursor and some wvw siege and tokens and thats it.

That’s what I do when I go into WvW. I expect ascended chests and precursors to rain from the sky.
That’s actually not what I said at all. I’m talking about 1 precursor or ascended weapon of our choice world wide for the most tasking, longest meta achievement to date. Also fixing the broken rng drop system as well as making sure everyone is happily rewarded for their efforts. On top of that I also suggested they make sure new legendaries and their precursors are account bound and done through crafting or such an event like we just finished. Not wvw or pve specific but an actual lengthy you have to figure it out and it’s different for each race and which legendary you choose to seek out but ultimately ending in attaining your precursor for said legendary. I know that would never happen but it sure as hell would’ve kept more ppl around instead of making mindless gold and mat grinds.
