This sounds awesome, I can't wait! Does that mean this is for next week, and nothing this week?

Well I'll be goddamned.
ANet is quite possibly the most involved-and-intouch-with-community group of developers I've ever seen.
Hats off to you.

mostlikely, the change is pretty big, and needs to be thoroughly looked at from both pvp and pve sides.

That's just about exactly what I thought when I saw that update (or news-of-an-update).
After playing UO and watching it diminish from one of the top online games to pure crap as the developers put in bad patch after patch after patch, this is HIGHLY refreshing. ANet puts OSI/EA Games to shame.

Huh?
I'm really confused about all the fuss, where does it say about new characters?

Can someone help a brother out who is at work behind a big wall of Websense? I can't link to the guildwars site. What is the big deal?

10 bucks says you purchase things with fame points.
Am I right? Am I? Guess we'll see.

Notes on the Next Update – Wednesday, June 22
Our next major update will be the introduction of PvP Rewards.
We know that many players right now are having difficulty unlocking items, runes and skills for use in PvP. On our private test servers, we have been testing a new reward system that lets you unlock items, runes, and skills for your pvp only characters through kills and victories in PvP. You'll unlock things faster if you are more successful, but we aren't implementing this system just for the elite players. Our goal is that every player will be able to make progress through normal play.
In that same light, these new rewards are not meant to overshadow other methods for character advancement, but rather to allow you to advance your characters in whichever way you prefer. Because of that, we will continue to examine the rate of item, rune and skill acquisition after ascension through cooperative play.
We expect polishing and balancing the new system to take another week and look forward to sharing the changes with you then. Response so far from our testers has been overwhelmingly positive, and we believe this addition will improve the overall experience for everyone who plays the game.
One final note: Some of you will wonder if we've forgotten that ascended characters with obsidian armor need challenges too... Don't worry. You're next.

I doubt it.
Fame points shouldn't be taken away from you for any reason.
I suspect it's just a matter of people you kill dropping stuff just like monsters do, and the better you're doing, the better the drops.
