[So defending is now not going to grant anything at all?]

The larger zergs I have been playing with all new that you had to build walls to get credit (for sure) and that is what we did.  Better not have a Tower Defense weekly if they can not get things to work correctly.  The forms have many good suggestions if the Devs would just read the post.

It even remembers the dye choices and skin settings for each tab.Also, like Linken said tho that if you swap say a legendary weapon for an ascended weapon when you place the legendary back you would need to set it up again (not the whole tab just the thing u swapped out and back) The template system + armory becomes very good qol not perfect, but its pretty good.

I agree very good but not perfect, Anet wants to sell Equipment Template Expansions.

this is a good change.. this was honestly ridiculous in its previous state.

u have ppl afk on trebs with macros set up for hitting smc walls 24/7(sadly this is likely not addressed yet)
and then u have ppl constantly draining supply to repair the smc walls to get easy rewards.

with this change hopefully there will be less afk repairers clogging the ebg queues.
one thing i will add- if they can add dealing dmg to enemies to award some defence participation that would be good. i do agree right now if u dont get a kill u likely wont get any credit- and it is hard to get kills if u r outnumbered defending.

1.  ppl afk on trebs has nothing to do with this topic

2.  how can a player be afk and repairing a wall at the same time?  I guess you repair go afk and return and repair - oh wait i am dead - lol

3.  If a player is on the wall and actively defending then credit should be given.

Roamers are still actively getting kills.   Scouting rewards are a different beast.  Especially afk tower scouts and camp golem users who panic type and die.  If that crowd wants rewards, thats what shared participation is for.  

I play primarily support in wvw when in squad, I am used to not receiving near the same rewards of the DPS.  I made the choice to do that, just as people make the choice to scout or roam.  Part of that choice is knowing you will will miss participation because it isn't something that can be balanced without opening the door wide open for abuse.  This current fix is a result of abuse from their reward system, of course there will be collateral damage from it.  However you will still get more rewards.

Yes roamers still get kills however the current system is broke.  Many good points have been discussed above and I do hope Anet corrects the problems.  I have experienced all of the above mention concerns and it is no fun not to get credit.

party up or join squads if the rewards matter to you so much, it is supposed to be a group game mode after all

Roamers are also part of the WvW game mode.  Anet needs to remove Tower and Keep defense until they can correct the current problems.  I am glad I got my defense rewards last night.

When you walk towards the pedestal you will get the Interact F - if that one does not work then move closer to the pedestals and you will receive another Interact F that will work.
