Guild Wars 2

rickets.1386:

I agree with the OP. Now that there is a dedicated team banning bots there is no need for another restrictive system. Sometimes i just want to mindlessly kill the same mobs for a drop(like armored scales for a legendary). Also now that plinx is nerfed to the ground there is no reason for karma DR either.

1 Make huge long grinds necessary for attaining the best stuff in the game(legendarys).
2 Put in a system that discourages and punishes you for grinding.

Wat?

Agree, it’s counter intuitive to implement DR when there is a system that requires players to grind. Bots were a serious concern and it’s still a serious concern at the moment. Players should not be punished by DR. Rather by adding DR, a better implementation would be to add other incentives in game to promote players explore other parts of the world. A balanced system will promote players to choose whichever option they feel like doing and it’ll yield to be about the same profit/hour result. If a player feels like doing option B all day today, option C tomorrow, or option A the following day, he shouldn’t be punished by playing the game legitimately to his own will.
