End Game
And for these end game levels of fractals we should have things to show for it like exclusive ascended weps, armor, minis, and titles.
This is the problem. We have (although very few) some end game content, but the rewards are lacklustre at best.
I doubt most people will actually use those new sigils and runes, because the rune seems to involve using a sigil build, which on most classes results in a broken build. The sigil is going to have a hard time competing against bloodlust and perception.
Adding AR drops is good and all, but AR is only useful in FotM itself.
The worst offender in this case would be that tonic. That absolutely cannot be the end reward for getting 40+ in FotM. Anet should know by now that no one wants tonics. Just look at LA. How many people are there thats using a tonic?
