Are the Molten Facility rewards too limited?
Agree with OP. It should have been tokens like Wintersday. Ran MF more times than I can recall and got kitten all for doing it.

Gormlaith Greycloak ~ Guardian
Thinking about that Jetpack skin makes me sad panda.
Did it every day on multiple characters and no luck.
Same boat here. I wonder if I would have had better luck just running with the same character everytime (though that would have gotten extremely boring).
Please give us a keyring…
If anything, switching characters gives you the best chances. I’d also do other activities in between and not just run consecutive runs on the same character.
That said, RNG sucks. Not only for those who got nothing (this will be me), but even for those who did get something; where’s the sense of achievement when really all that matters is dumb luck? Of course some people will feel entitled regardless, but really, the rewards have no correlation to skill, effort or anything that grants bragging rights (bar perhaps your skills in playing the TP / buying gems).
Unfortunately, this issue seems rather pervasive in GW2. There’s little that can give a feeling of achievement or prestige for those who value it. The RNG is a big factor here. The broken leaderboards and kitten achievement system another.
It was really frustrating. The Boss was great, but the drop rate for Mini+Jetpack was too low. I know just one person, who got the jetpack. 1-2 dungeon runs per day and nothing. Why not like the adventure box: buy the jetpack and the mini account bound with tokens and a low drop chance for free to sell jetpack+mini. It really gave the whole Flame and Frost Story Line a bitter taste.
