How long will it take for a WvW main to earn enough gold for a set of Legendary Runes and Sigils?

@DanAlcedo.3281 said:Your standard reward track is around 3 - 4g an hour.

Skirmish chests are worthless.

Loot bags add maybe 1g an hour or so. Lets be generous and say 2g.

One set of legendary runes/sigil is more then 5000g.

6 runes 500g each4 sigils 550g each.

In conclusion:

One set = 1000+ hours of WvW

This makes me so sad....

What's annoying is that they never update any of the reward tracks. All the LS ones are just the same copy and pasted with the new map currencies. You end up getting items literally worth nothing or maybe a few copper. Sure you can sell memories of battle or open skirmish chests and sell dyes but with those being the main options, their prices have dropped too. Supply going up and up while the demand for the items stay the same. Its the same as old foods. Remember when we had to make lemongrass and poultry soup? Look at the cost of lemongrass going from 15-20s down to 1s now. We'd be better off just getting straight up gold like PvP. No more eyes of kormir, resonating slivers, or congealed essence!

WvW needs a reward that's tradeable, desirable by PVE players (aka SHINY), and cannot be obtained anywhere else. Could be a weapon skin set or armor skins, or an infusion with stacking effects. The supply is completely controlled by reward track completion (1 per track), so a continuous transfer of gold between game modes exists.
