Guild Wars 2

Everyone who has done the Marionette event knows that the champs and occasional “trash” (non-champ) monster will drop a piece or two of a key. You can get them pretty regularly during the event, whether you are fighting near the portal or at the bottom of the lane.

However, the unsung heroes of each lane are those who wield the mighty repair hammer. It’s a slow process and makes it to where they don’t get any of the “trash” loot because they aren’t doing any damage. I feel this goes against the spirit of GW2, since playing helpful is normally beneficial. For example, if you rez someone, you get xp.

Is it possible to make it so that if you are repairing with a hammer, you will get an occasional key piece, too? As it is now, someone has to sacrifice all their trash loot if they want to use the hammer. They are doing just as much for the event completion as those who are killing the monsters, yet they are getting much less from it.

(This may include those in the golems and arrow carts, but I can’t say with 100% certainty whether they get loot or not.)
