Guild Wars 2

OK well I have trawled through the updates in the news section and see no mention of this, so I can only think it’s a bug, or ANet just telling me how to play the game again.

Since I have patched this morning the diminishing rewards I get from DEs have increased greatly, also it is not just for repeating DEs its for doing any DE in a said area. Example, I started to play today and do events in Cursed Shore. I work from North to South and repeat one or 2 events that re-spawn quickly but before I’m even half way through and doing an event I haven’t even done today I start to get less than gold medal rewards. So I move to another zone do about 7 DE there and the same happens.

Stop forcing me to move around all the time with your ridiculous travelling costs and a million cc mobs if you walk it, its not fun. I want to play the game how I want and actually do all the event progression in one area and see how it plays out without getting nerfed to the ground, seriously.

If I could have some confirmation that you have done this and your reasoning it would be appreciated.

It should be bug.After this morning patch i`ve spent few thousand karma points to buy cooking materials from vendors across Tyria.To regain it back i went back and did many DEs most in Cursed Shore-mainly Arah chain,few in Malchor`s Leap and even manage to do twice Claw Of Jormag.For each of these DEs reward was same for gold 348 karma,silver-forget already,bronze-140ish karma points .

Thus far the diminishing returns have been reduced cash/exp/karma from the DE, not reducing you from Gold to a lower level like Silver or Bronze. That would suggest that you’re no longer doing enough to get the medal.

Out of interest, are you running from DE to DE, doing a bit and then leaving before the event is over to tag other DE’s at the same time, or are you actively playing the DE’s from start to finish?

I’m a fully exotic geared warrior and would have mentioned above if I was not getting gold. I clearly see the gold medal display when the event completes with diminishing returns. If I carry on in that area it gets halved each time untill I’m basically getting nothing.

I’m pretty much continuously doing them running from one to another with a karma booster up as i want the toughness/vit/power gear from the karma vendors. I enjoy checking out each areas main chain of DEs and seeing how they unfold but being nerfed before I get to the end and having to move kind of breaks my immersion.

In your first post you said “I start to get less than gold medal rewards” hence my assumption that you were getting medals of a lower variety than gold.

Yeah key word there being rewards i.e the karma and silver.

This is ridiculous. While I am not a farming type of player, Dynamic Events almost made me want to run around and farm the events. I thought that was the point of Dynamic Events? Immersive game play where players are rewarded for participation. This reduced rewards is a load of crap. They are ruining Dungeons by reducing returns as well. Dungeons are already difficult, but then to reduce the rewards reaped by running them is just stupid.

If this keeps up people will just find a more rewarding and fun mmo to play.
Lots free to play mmo’s still out there… just not the new kid on the block like GW2 is right now.

Once the newness wears off and it’s starting to already people won’t put up with this rushed fixes that break the game and go against the games design and mechanics.

Hopefully Anet see’s what they’re doing wrong before it’s to late and fixes the problem that they’re causing.

this game is starting to remind me of Diablo III, which saddens me very much to say that
