WiK Bounties have not been 'balanced'
Xsiriss
Still seeing the same old 3(+1) and 10(+5) reward missions as the individual daily bounties. 2 of these a day would be alright but come on, all they did was offer the 2 fairly unique bounties with the update and now it's back normal...
MYSTAKE
same here... they didnt change anything

Yesterday was kinda weird. The two inquisitor bounties were 20(+10), one was easy (North Kryta Province) the other was a short trip but a total PITA.
The third bounty was 10(+5) and involved going all the way to Kessex Peak?!
Must be a usage of the word "balanced" that I was not previously aware of

Refuse to do them and A-Net will be forced to buff them up. The second last update made people very happy, the last update undid everything people were unhappy about.

Rewards are often so poor that the War in Kryta will likely end with an insurrection to bring Salma down... 
Then we'll have:
Stingy Was Salma
Item Spell. Hold Salma's ashes for up to 2...3 months. While you hold her ashes, nothing happens. When you drop her ashes you Shadow Step to Lion's Arch.

I doubt the 20+10 quests were "daily" quests, they were rather different so I would say those were one-off storyline quests and we'll probably see more of those.
Personally I find the balance to be decent now.
EDIT: Actually they obviously were special quests since the mobs are only there if you have the quest, where as the daily ones are always there.

Take into account that you are fighting regular soldiers for the 4 War Supplies. Then Inquisitors for 30 War Supplies and the self-proclaimed "Justicar" for 15 War Supplies.
It doesn't matter where you have to go to kill them, but based more on their ranks and where they stand with the White Mantle. I'm sure you won't be making 15-30 War Supplies for killing a simple soldier. They are miniscule compared to the the others who offer higher bounties.
Refusing to do something in game isn't going to force Anet to change anything. You're talking about every single player in GW making a personal stand against Anet for what? A quest? You can't force Anet to change if you choose not to do a quest.

The Inquisitor bounties are not daily. They can be picked up at any time and so far have not reset.

So far we had to fight against Inquisitor Lashona and Inquisitor Bauer, both playing a relevant role in some of the random encounters around Kryta.
I bet next will be Greaves the Overbearing and High Inquisitor Toriimo.

The real issue is this statement from the last update:
"Rebalanced the rewards for completing Wanted by the Shining Blade quests"
The issue is nothing has changed, the rewards still either 4 supplies or 15 supplies. This shows me either that there is a bug seeing how the rewards were not improved, or that this was a error on the update notes. Personally I'd love to response to if things are working as planned or that there is should have been higher rewards than there are now.

Shadowmoon's got it right. Please read properly. Even if we are fighting varyious ranks the fact the rewards suck, all the update did was trash the courier rewards.
aspi
Or maybe the courier rewards kinda spoiled us? I don't think they meant it to be that people had stack and stacks after the first day the couriers were there.
For me I just wanna know what the medals are for, kinda holding on to my very limited war supplies and I hope that's the right thing to do.

I'll never make the mistake of assuming that ANet cares about their players; ever again.

Supplies themselves are not exactly great consumables, more of way to let em be spent when you do not want to use them to buy stuff. No point farming them.
Royal gifts are not that great either. It is just sink to remove excesive supplies from game with promise of rare stuff.
Bounty rewards are not have meaning yet. We do not know what medals are going to be used for, what quanity is boing to be required etc ...
We have absolutelly nothing to base quality of rewards on yet.
This is as if people farmed DoA gems and did not know what is armbrace for and complained about droprate and that coffers drop xp scroll junk.

To be honest, a few weeks ago I finally "quit" the game due to its stagnation. Once the new bounties and courier were brought into the mix, I came back to check it out. "Oh look, new drops, new content, new rewards, new things to do." That warm and fuzzy feeling lasted what, a few days?
The rewards do not match the effort needed, period. The courier isn't worth the time or hassle whatsoever, and the 3/1 bounties are a joke. Thanks ANet, I'm heading back into retirement.

There goes any enthusiasm I had for this stuff.

You ever watch that show Deadliest Catch? The whole crew lights up when they're on their fishing and pulling in big numbers, and the whole crew is miserable when they're not on the crab and grinding on one or two for pot. That's human psychology that very few people can simply shirk and not care about. Grinds aren't fun, and Falken should be reverted to the feeling of an abundant reward if they want the WiK to be fun for the long term.

I don't care is falkin keeps his junk reward, just give more ways of getting supplies. For example, give supplies for vanquishing peacekeeper areas of kryta. Give something like 1 supply for 10 mobs. And think of synergy with the bounties, vanquish the zone plus the bonus for killing the boss.

And I don't remember GvG that much cause I'm a PvE Carebear.

good rewards for doing nothing special at all. The lazy generation.
Fay Vert
It would help if the exchange rate for royal gifts wasn't so high. 15:1 is pretty bad for what they give meaning you can do this content every day and get less than 1 gift per day. They are probably thinking this is similar to Nick's limit of 5 per week but the effort for this sucks.
Trader of Secrets
Yeah watssup with these rewards, on the day of the balance they were pretty good. Now just back to nothing
jonathan23
I think rebalance was meant to refer to bringing the courier reward down to match these 3+1 bounties, meaning the 3+1 thing is normal. I personally was/am fine with a 10+5 reward for any but the hardest bounties. You do it on a few characters and supplement this with a few courier runs and get a few gifts per day. But yeah, the point is that you have to do the bounty on 5 different characters to get one gift or on 7 different characters to get one medal per day. This is very disheartening to me and hope that the bounties will be re-rebalanced soon, or people gonna start goin AWOL on Salma.
Sir Baddock
Peacekeepers are easy, quit crying and just add it to the other 4 quests / "Dailies" you do.
Shadowspawn X
War supplies are insanely easy to get, so you can't expect anything spectacular from the gifts or the medals. They are just too common, medals will pile up at triple the rate zcoins ever did.
R_Frost
boohoo, if you dont like it dont do it. Anet didnt have to add the war in kryta stuff to the game. they could of chosen to fix other more important issues that still need to be done. the rewards for vanquishing still suck, yet everyone still does it. the rewards for the z-missions can be considered out of balance on a bunch of them yet people still do them. i would of rather seen the WiK stuff added in like the bonus missions, yet it wasnt. this is free add-on stuff we got, Anet could of charged us $9.99 or $19.99 for a whole mini expansion pack that would of had everything in it that ties GW1 to GW2 yet they chose to give this to us for free and add it in slowly over time. enjoy the free add on content, stop bitching and if you dont like it then uninstall and go away.

Rebalanced the rewards for escorting Courier Falken.
Rebalanced the rewards for completing Wanted by the Shining Blade quests.
Reading comprehension ftw. The rebalance is for both events, not just one. This is not a qq thread, this is a thread asking if this is a bug or not because the notes appear to not match what actually is going on ingame. The "stop qq'ing" trolls need to stfu and realize if anything this is a bug report thread if anything because of the discrepancy. Either the notes were incorrect or this is a bug.

All of the people with the "stop qq'ing" replies....
This has nothing to do with the COST of the game. so your "this is free, like it or go away" isnt going to solve anything.
That said, the problem is that the update says we were supposed to see a "balance" to them..and most people, myself included, would like a lil clarification as to what that was supposed to be since nothing has changed. As far as we know the Inquisitors were planned to be introduced then and even if they werent, its not exactly a "balance".
This is a problem of communication, not entitlement.

and of course the communication too... misunderstanding about balance? I'm questioning it too.

Yeah, 4 supplies not worth the effort? Gift value is primarily exclusive minis that can't be bought anywhere else. Falken defined the value of supplies, the new lower rate will as well given a little time.
