Guild Wars 2

I’m here to PvP, not to do PvE so that I can PvP. Right now if I want to PvP properly I must PvE first to obtain a horde of cash to purchase upgrades. What’s the reasoning behind this? It doesn’t make sense. WvW purchases should be paid from currency obtained through activities within WvW itself. I’m being forced to engage in huge battles to loot players so that I can get loot to sell and get coin for PvP upgrades (lolwhat?) or farm PvE NPCs within WvW so that I can get loot to sell and get coin for PvP upgrades (loldoublewhat?) — this doesn’t make any sense. You are forcing us to do PvE in order to do PvP. It’s either that or buy gold from farmers — no fun at all.

The most critical aspect of WvW is to ensure that you have a constant source of supplies so that you can build sieges and apply upgrades quickly to advance in battle. Because of this it’s essential that someone guards and protects the supply camps to alert the main allied force and repel invaders. But doing so doesn’t generate any rewards whatsoever for the players doing so. Why is this?

I beleive that WvW is great and that it’s a concerted effort, but at its current state it only rewards those players participating in big battles where you can obtain Badges of Honor, while those doing skirmishes, attacking caravans, or defending critical points get nothing.

This needs to be fixed, and players defending nodes should be rewarded for their effort.
