Supports need to unionize

Support is the backbone of wvw and yet we get even poorer rewards on average, lower rate of exp gain and generally blamed when people stand in bombs. Anet needs to buff experience gained and bags for people who provide Boons and healing. If the conditions don’t improve I’m voting to unionize and strike, let dps play without us. Let’s take it back to prophecies and strike like the monks did

Yes please, everyone stop paying support until Anet fix this, no more support Scrappers, support Firebrands, support Eles, and support Scourges, no more boons.
I am 500% sad that boon blobs will cease to exist for some time, of course, but we must get at Anet, and this is the only way.

Good luck lasting more then 2 seconds on any engage

Unions have their own set of problems.  You could have two firebrands with the same seniority and vastly different skill levels but they will earn the same amount of bags.  A new firebrand will see the bag pay scale in the union handbook and will protest by auto attacking so his effort matches his pay.  Then you will have a firebrand show up late for raids or be a no call no show and you won’t be able to fire him.

Dont play support in a pug if these things truly bother you. 

 

I am curious - do you play WvW for rewards?  I play because being part of a barbarian army is fun.  I think the rewards from PvE are much better, just more boring to me.

The highest amount of xp and rewards comes from capturing, events, and siege monkeying.  So if you want to level up the fastest fights are not the way to go especially if you are losing them from lack of support.

 

Sure it might be better to use the pvp method of rewards and just remove per kill xp/loot and add it into the world events but really can't you just put down a fire field with you FB/ele.  Lob some mortars or grenades...  Maybe your just not S tier yet.

Yes but the firebrand who is better will naturally find more employment opposed to the other. The other will still get some work but will not get the top tier jobs.

Yes I play solely for the gratification of rewards

we could have even bag distribution per party. not per squad, afkers would take advantage and with parties it would be easier to manage that (maybe give comms the ability to select certain players in squad to receive the bag distribute, like scouts and such). but wait that would be sOcIaLiSm 🤐😱 !!!

Unions are supposed to run like socialism so it does work.
