The hearts are just miserable. Does a heart take long? No. It's tedious busy work, each one is over pretty fast... but there's 303 of them. It's vomit inducing.

1 GoE for 2 GoB.

50 GoB for 1 GoE, I'd consider that a fair trade. I'd still do it in wvw.

...make getting things to t3 worth more to offset it. Maybe having a keep at t3 and being part of a defense of it (in the same way as objective defender gives credit, maybe, or something a little more active, maybe only counting getting kills there not repairs) could reward an extra pip? MoBs for defending a t3 tower? Rewarding defense is worth thinking about, ANet. If you have anyone in the company still doing that.

Two thirds the servers at the lowest possible population bracket certainly speaks highly of the geniuses in charge of wvw realm balancing! What talent they bring!

Oh you sweet summer child...

You guys don't actually believe OP wants to transfer to Mag for good fights, do you? He wants to be there for the same reason most of Mag is there. Easy to be carried when you outnumber the other servers five to one at normal times, down to just two to one when a major guild pin shows up. The last thing people on Mag want are good fights. If they did, they would transfer to other servers to fight Mag. Mag is where you go to avoid ever getting into a fair fight.

People are choosing to deliberately let keeps and towers fall so they can take them back to get the weekly achievement. That's not good.

I gotta say, I am hearing a lot of people on map say things like "let them have it, we'll just take it back" when an enemy group shows at a keep somewhere. By that standard, this weekly achievement might actually be moving into disaster territory.

I think people here are forgetting the true reward of the weekly chest, addressing so many concerns WvW players have had for so long: the weekly achievement rewards resonating slivers. Resonating. Slivers. Is this just game changing stuff, or are we into literal genre changing at this point?

Can you imagine the imbalance that would result from getting one piece of ascended armor every eight weeks instead of every ten? Might as well shut the entire game down at that point! Face it, just like emblems, nobody at ANet is playing the game mode enough to get them, so they've completely forgotten they exist.

Board flaked out.

It's probably not just from that week. I am sure its a rolling average of activity, but who knows how long the period is. It could easily be a month. So changes may take some time to fully factor in.

"January 2023 patch notes: you can now use your skirmish claim tickets to purchase emblems of the avenger."

Emblems of the Avenger and Conquerer combined into one Emblem which still has no actual use beyond Conflux and cannot be sold.
