I admit one of the first things I do when I show up for defense is repping the wall because if you are fighting a big zerg you are not killing that many players especially as a support and there are not enough siege weapons for everyone to (sometimes) get any participation. The whole participation calculation sucks! people rush (and fight) over killing npc’s in front of gates and on the wall and only after that start building siege that the commander has through a while ago in hope to somehow get silver participation. The problem is, that if there isn't an enemy zerg around, there is just not enough to kill to get Gold participation especially if you are in a group. I say it again if you want to reward the big fights, make them scaled events or special events. If x amount of players fight against each other over an objective (or even in open field) the event scales or becomes a special event and then you get the really really good rewards. And for an unscaled event you still get your Gold participation and the good rewards if you manage to get in that circle, because there is not enough to kill and not enough siege to man to even get silver participation for a group of players.

Hi most of the time I roam or play a support ele in WvW and I have never felt this discouraging to play WvW than after this update. It is utterly frustrating to take a t1 tower with two people and only get bronze or silver for the event reward for doing so. And if you are a support it’s just awful now because it feels like nothing but kill count toward participation. I was lucky enough to get on a cata one time and help to destroy the wall, did a little bit of damage to the lord, stood in the circle and tried to keep my teammates alive and still only got bronze participation. It always feels like a slap in the face to see the bronze and silver participation. I get the fact that you don’t want to give out the same rewards for taking a T1 tower vs a T3 tower or a defended tower vs an undefended tower but can’t you just make it different events? I mean if you do an event alone in pve you still get the full acknowledgement for doing it (gold reward) but if you do the same event with a big group it scales up champions spawn and you get more loot over all. Why not do it the same way in WvW more enemy players = bigger event = bigger rewards and not just making a small event bronze participation. And for the love of God please look into rewarding support players better!!!
