A suggestion I have is to commonize all the barter currency (dungeon tokens). If all dungeons rewarded the same currency it would enable the following:

1. Allow players to play what they want to play
2. Provide more diverse rewards to the player base
3. Reduce storage requirements for the tokens

This runs the risk of creating “grave yards” out of some dungeons — players wouldn’t play them again after completing them the first time. However that’s a result of dungeon quality rather than a side effect of common barter currency.

If enforcement of dungeon completion is a requirement, then ANet could tie a requirement to each piece which is completion of a particular path in the dungeon (i.e. you could not wear the item without completing the associated achievement). This way a player couldn’t get a full Arah set without having completed all paths in Arah. If this sounds silly, then so is having Arah-only tokens because both have same impact on the player (run Arah multiple times).

Part of me thinks that someone in ANet was thinking “hey, wanna see something funny? Watch this…”
