Default Why not a little $ perk to play PVP

I like PVP but I seem to get so poor when I play. All those skills you can unlock but can not use unless you fork out 1k each. I am primarily a PVE player. I love the fact they added Z keys, but I was hoping they could implement a gold spiff for winning a match. Nothing crazy but maybe a 100 gold for a match won and maybe a 150 gold perk for a flawless win. RA, HH, TA, and HA only

Yes, he has

But indeed, they added zaishen keys not too long ago, this is already some kind of a $ reward being added to PvP. IMO there's no need at all to add more $ rewards to it as a PvP player doesn't needs any money really,and PvE players..well..they farm for it/get it by playing the game(PvE) ?

It's called getting a PvP character. If you want to take your PvE character and actually care about what skills you use, then be ready to pay for them.

Be like WoW's battlegrounds and have a small sum of money(average 300g) per kill split amongst the entire party? 300/8=37.5g ea.

Not much but it would give the pvper some money. Ofc, Anet did introduce Zaishen Keys but tbh, the keys' values are dropping like hell from 5k when they first came out to about 1.5k-2k now. I think the Zaishen Keys are enough but if Anet wanted a pvp char to earn the same or similiar amount of money as a pve char, the battlegrounds idea is not that radical is it?

/unsigned , Zaishen keys should be enough for now.

Nerfing stupidly imbalanced skills does not 'screw it up' for PVE'ers.

Yes it does.

Now you dont really need money in pvp, and if you did there are Z. Keys and thats all you'd need along with HoH Chest drops.

So yea, Less QQ Moar Pew Pew.

Skills are not stupidly imbalanced, they're combined to form builds that do well in PvP but fail hard in PvE, and the skills as they are used in PvE are NOT overpowered.

Although I completely agree with the fact that PvP nerfs affect PvE builds (I play both and have noticed), this idea is bound to cause way to many problems, even with the report system implemented.

I am quite sure ANet does not want to add more potential exploits to the system.

They throw zaishen keys your way. There are rare drops in halls. If you're using $ in your title and not Gold, then there's great rl things you can win in MTs. Quit complaining. Always more more more.....

Hey i heard anet is thinking of putting a chest in the hall of heroes and if you win you get a zaishen key and a rare drop of some sort! Maybe even a ghostly hero mini pet worth 1000+ ectos! WOW! Plus they are making pvp characters that have skills unlocked with balthazar faction!

Zaishen keys and Hall of Heroes...
You gotta work for that gold!
But I think they should give you a small sum of gold if you reach 15 consecutive wins... maybe 50-100 gold would be fine.

If they fail hard in PvE why does it matter at all if they are nerfed?
