Guild Wars 2

And you should be grateful!

Yup. I also got 80 copper. I’ll invest it in four silk scraps, maybe I’ll get a bit closer to ascended armor if the price spikes a bit.

I fight for the fun of it. I get lots more rewards than that for regular WvW activities.

I personally think the joke’s on the achievement hunters. Perfectly named thread name, so +1 for that, LOL.

This thread needs +interwebs!!!!!!!!!

They Should be grateful we don’t leave the game in Droves (just wvw). Back to PVE profit and shinny land, one hour of a champ farm train gets me more stuff than that past 7 weeks.

I’ll just brush this incident off as charity work and accept their hummble gifts. while I get back to playing the game for the rewards I want.

It got me to the next AP tier, which gave me a chest that gave me 5G, which I used to buy a Sigil of Momentum so I would survive more fights, provide fewer rallies to my enemies, and live longer to kill more of them.

The JP’s were done in low pop hours and I used the siege during the season, and the rest was done during the course of normal play (ruins done in slow hours to keep BL for our team).

I’ve done a lot to be embarrassed about, but the achievements aren’t one of them.

August 2012 called. It wanted to let you know that WvW has really bad loot.

And if all of those things took you more than 1% of the length of the season… you were doing them wrong .

I just kept playing wvw regularly and i got the kitten key -_-

but can you change the sigils on a dungeon weapon is the real question here

lmao we will never get anything good for free :P

IKR, HE GOT A RARE~!

Free? over 350 hours of WvW during seasons. I worked hard, danke very much.

Good riddance! We don’t want achievement hunters in wvw, ever.

But Achievement hunters are free loot bags!! don’t go please!!

Also worth mentioning that I’m rank 230, perhaps, hehe.

It’s all good. At least now when S2 will start no one will care and there will be no ques. So, i don’t mind!

Did no one besides me think that the 6 tomes of knowledge were a pretty sweet reward? 6 pain free levels for an alt? Not too shabby.

It’s so ironic how it’s always the stackers from stackgate crying.

Get good.

When I first heard about the chest reward I hoped it was going to be an amazing reward. But with a few weeks into leagues I seen the types of people it was attracting and the behavior and attitude it was promoting. By mid way through seasons I hoped the rewards would be terrible. In the end I think the rewards were better than I wanted them to be.

I’ve had 7 weeks of fun, epic battles (dat ogrewatch 6 hour defense in the first weekend!), heaps and heaps of lootbags, rank chests for like 200 wvw ranks a few lucky drops and a generous amount of achievement points. I´m perfectly ok with the rewards I received today.

5 levels for an alt is fine, but what are you going to use that alt for? PvE? Because you sure as hell can’t afford all the gear to survive well and be useful in wvw for the loot you get there. And, in PvE levelling is what’s fun.

Are you saying loot bags, rank chests, lucky drops, etc. wouldn’t have dropped out-season?

WvW loot sucks. Why were you expecting this to be any different?

If anything, the rewards were better than the blues I was expecting. Yeah, they sucked, but we’ve kind of gotten used to it. Like when they told us we were going to be getting “A LOT” more ectos in our rank up chests.

LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL

achivement hunters will e back if they make season 2 the same way, just for the sake of the achivements, i’m kinda soft core hunter and i would do that regardless of the compensation.
you cn be sure that the 10k first in the leaderboard would do that, so better no moroe season achivements and we are all happier;)

I got an exotic in my season 1 chest. That’s like… 1 every 5 months from WvW loot. I can’t really compare it to champ trains, dungeons, or fractals, because I never do those. If you exclusively WvW, the season 1 chests were like 6+ hours of cash, and several weeks worth of dragonite.

If you don’t, enjoy your achievement points, because that’s all you’re getting out of WvW seasons. And I hope it stays that way.

i got nothing

lol xfer bug

but i expected something like this (greens and stuff) so not really surprised

as someone who does wvw a lot i am glad season is over and we can go back to normal games w/o horde of pve’ers putting maps on queue and wasting supplies

It seems a lot of you people are defending the season rewards because “we expected it to be bad”. To expect something to be bad is no reasons to defend bad decisions. It would have taken them less than a day of work to implement a unique backpack skin, or something, and that would have made me happy.

Anet can, and should have, done this better.

I didn’t even bother with working toward the chest. I play WvW for fun, not rewards. I didn’t change my play style at all due to the achievements or rewards chest.

I feel like people who played like me are the ones who “won.” No stress, and we reaped the rewards in fun that we always expect and enjoy.

Alvain.7364:

What have I gained for these dishonorable acts?

You made me happier that I didn’t even bother to do those achievements.

Alvain.7364:

I have dishonored my server.

I have spent valuable minutes, perhaps hours, trying to do jumping puzzles, while there are queues to the borderlands, and the map chat is filling with requests to come defend hills, bay, and garrison.

I have disregarded cries to man the siege at garrison, simply because I only had 5 ruins left to flip to get my achievement.

I have let enemy players kill our dollies, when we’ve been so close to full T3 keeps, simply because they then would let me kill theirs.

I’ve abandoned the zerg, to stay in scout circles, while rushing to defeat an enemy zerg.

What have I gained for these dishonorable acts? What have I gained sacrificing fun and challenging play time for grinding out achievements? 1 rare, and some worthless skill tomes, and an ACCOUNT BOUND dolly.

that was both funny and sad, kind of like wvw and the state of the entire game currently.

Kudos!

Shamefur dispray!

Season 1 successfully Nailed to the Cross. +1

Well state OP, very well stated.

I personally I am defending the rewards, they suck and ould have been achieved with 5 minutes of PvE. What I have been defending is the fact that no one seems to learn, when was the last time you received a decent reward from WvW ? Now what made you think that Anet would suddenly change and shower you with gold and fortunes ?

i wasnt expecting gold, but something that lasts. something u can show off.
some skin that shows u were on the winning server, 2nd ranked or 3rd ranked server or that also shows that u were part of season 1( for the servers that didnt make the top 3).
a mini pet is nothing people desire as a reward. i dont even use mini pets….
i want looking for shinies, but still this reward is pathetic…

you pver’s have been keeping me from even stepping foot into wvw these last few weeks, the que times where horrible.

future advice for gamers of any game:
DO WHAT YOU LOVE IN A GAME, NOT WHAT GIVES FAT LOOT

I dont blame the PvE folks for coming out to get the Achievement or the loot, we even managed to retain some as, full time WvW players now, but I don’t think you have to worry about them falling for it again. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.

You got a title that is exactly that – something that lasts and to show off. Plus can be used on all your chars. I don’t understand the complaint.

So, who wanna bet the devs don’t reply to a single of these threads?

I tried to do achievement, but in www i Always got some stuff to do, like helping some Group with sieges/defenses and bloodlust etc

Yet i got more fun than people grinding long lists of boring and useless tasks.
(but i admit i seriously envy people with the doliak ._.).

Just remember that if rewards are bad, you won t be forced to be said what to do by anet, nor you will “play for the reward”.

You will play the way you like….
So i m all for bad rewards everywhere.

Sure, a lot of people go for the “play the way you like”-argument. But, one also have to be geared right, or you just become a rallybot for the enemies. With ascended armor coming out, there’s no way I’m going to get even close to that by just playing wvw, forcing me instead to go out to farm and grind stuff. That does not equal “play the way you like”.

However, if one enjoyes mindlessly grinding the fg farmtrain and speedrunning dungeons, then sure, then you won’t need to worry about rewards in wvw.

Alvain.7364:

Why should they? The GAME ITSELF delivers a pretty clear statement about how they think things should be.

Lol, true. But, always have hope!

yes maybe…
Then go ask ascended mistake to be fixed as i did since november 2012…..
Grinding PvE or grinding WWW is bad either way.

You are not playing www if you go Killing guards or to finish jumping puzzles.

If it was for me i d only play fotm and www <.< i m forced to to grind stuff…..
But what you are asking is to make grinding worthy rather than removing it totally.

I’m also trying to point out the stupidity of a few of the achievments. Doing jumping puzzles has nothing to do with wvw, nor does flipping ruins if the goal isn’t to cap bloodlust, etc.

Two work days now, and not a single reply from Anet to these threads…

The mini dolly is awesome

The rewards were far beyond my expectations at least

Alvain.7364:

Two work days now, and not a single reply from Anet to these threads…

Because, Anet has a perfect reason for doing what they did, its internal and they don’t care to share it with the rest of us. Maybe it was a mistake it pushed Que’s into a problematic world they had not anticipated, made them drop what they were doing and work on a temporary map for WvW que’rs as a stop gap, which took time away from story line work. If they made the reward decent enough, then WvW que’s would persist??? And they would have more mad que’rs?

Just a guess. Maybe they figured the “Veteran of the Mists” title, the dolyak mini, and a chance at greens, yellows and oranges was good enough for most stuff, may as well be good enough for WvW elitists… >shrugs<

They really haven’t said, I doubt they ever will.
