Guild Wars 2

Why are the rewards for completing the final story quest so awful?
A blue print for WvW….okay?
5 random bags with loot inside….. Sounds awesome….opens up
Five bags opened to get 1 blue level 80 piece and the rest of the items were gear under level 50. Why would I want or need that? I beat a level 80 quest, I should get level 80 rewards. Plus it was the final story quest and we have to go through a dungeon to complete it. Why??

Yea, I got 1 green shortbow, as a warrior I cant use it, and rest was blue items of 75+ level. Ended up selling them at vendor.

I found out that every reward from something hard or epic happens to be crap not usable by yourself.

I have to agree. It was really disappointing. All of the rewards for the story completion were lack-luster. I don’t think I even got a level 80 in my bags, a bunch of level 20 or so items.

After opening the first bag and getting a level 27 item, I waited until I had a set of +Magic Find. I had +135% magic find when I opened all the bags, not a single green, and all well below my level. They all went to the vendor.

I feel robbed. Really bad rewards for such an ‘epic’ chain that sooo much time was spent in. I don’t think I used any of the items I received along the way. 90% of them went to the vendor. Some were destroyed once they made some soulbound items un-sellable and un-salvagable.

i hope by the time they change it, if they do change it, then i want like 10g50s0c and a house in the shiverpeaks. is it possible to replay it? kind of like abaddon’s mission in the first games?

i am not there yet, but i am almost to level 80 (via exploration)

Nope, can’t abandon it and do it over. I hope that when they fix it (assuming it’s a bug) that they do compensate those who were screwed over.

ANet, my suggestion regarding this:

- For each bag, throw in 50s-1g.
- Make each bag give items from green to exotic, level 80!
- Throw in a mini or a couple dyes for each bag.

These people just finished the entire STORYLINE of the game, reward them!

Seriously, the reward for beating the elder dragon is 5 low level blues that are so worthless you just have to vendor them?

Something is wrong.

Completely and utterly dissapointing loot.

Similar to the crap you get for map completion or the random junk from killing a world boss. And this for the biggest baddest kill in the game, with enourmous efort just to get there…

There seems to be a pervasive theme of never letting us have nice things. Did I accidentally leave my Exotic weapon on the lawn?? Or the folks who write the loot scripts at Anet have a seriously underdeveloped sense of awe.

Oops
Seeing this, I guess I should not proceed my personal story that fast and hope for a adjustment.
Giving a WvW blueprint after beating Zhaitan doesn’t sound right!

The blueprint is fine, since you can choose out of 3, one being a very good one really. It’s also giving you a nudge towards another piece of end game: WvW. Pretty good!

You also get a letter of recommendation (gives 1000 influence to your guild). Pretty good also.

The bags … yea … those suck … times a million! Giving lower rewards then 70 just suck. Hell I’ll even accept 75 here as a nice drop. Hope we get a compensation for that if they fix this!

I got the Siege Golem blueprint which is much more effective, useful and expensive than all the other blueprints. However, once it was built in WvW while sieging a gate, some other player jumped in it and used it before I could get to it. He never got out, I never got to use my Siege Golem, and now it’s gone. It was useful for approximately 5 minutes and that was it. I wish I’d sold it, as it had a vendor price of one gold, but I have a suspicion it was also soulbound.
Also, nowhere in its description did it say it was a one-off use. I kind of guessed it would be, but even so, a one-off use item for completing the entire personal storyline is incredibly bad form.

I agree with this post. If they change the content of the bags (the contents of them seem like a bug) I think everything will be fine.

Just to say… i got 5 level 10-15 items and one 22 heavy headgear all just fine quality so “Five bags opened to get 1 blue level 80 piece and the rest of the items were gear under level 50” actually even sounds good in comparison (yeah i am and was level 80 when i did it… so much about item scailing with actual level).
