Bring chestrunning back
I don’t see the point to this. Zergs are chest runs, just with forced fighting.
I never liked the chest runs in GW1 either, I’d get better things off trash mobs by just playing. I got my gold, max (at the time) eternal shield that way and my max (at the time) gold flamberge (the massive dark style). I still have both of those come to think of it.
I do agree they need a real gold sink, but I think an in game hairstylist or cough town clothes would be a better place to start. What I mean by ‘real’ is that you get nothing back for what you buy with the gold. 50% back makes little sense.
