Guild Wars 2

Have you ever considered of having event mobs not drop loot and instead bump up the rewards and after an event succeed or fail give them players a chest depending on participation and increase the threshold for what is consider participation. So in Queensdale we will give 1-6ss and a chest for loot (1 piece of loot) but instead with no possibility of getting a level 80 exotic or rare. But a level 50+ zone will give money (20s)+ a chest (with 1 to 2 pieces of loot) with a small possibility of loot exotic or rare or ascended. And a level 80 event might give 32s + 1 chest with 1T6 mat and 1-4 pieces of loot.
This will remove the incentive for intentionally failing events.

From the very beginning Events had very meh rewards. Anet says they want no farming, but without farming, gold is basically impossible to get. I have played since launch and had about 40g total a few weeks ago, before cof1 nerf I did it for a few days and got another 40g, I doubled months of work in a few days. Anet either needs to KILL ALL FARMING, or buff up normal drops and rewards. I think 1-6s is a fair number for every event in a 1-15 zone and each zone would go up a little each time, lvl 80 zones events should give 32s. There would finally be a reason to do events in zones other than just to get the Exp to get a alt to 80.

Event Coin rewards should go something as follows: 1s for a lvl 1 and lvl 2 event, all events past that could use a simple scale: level of event/2.5=Silver reward.
So a lvl 15 event would give 6s, a lvl 45 would give 18s, and a lvl 80 event would give 32s. I don’t think it going to break the game econ, a simple fix to make sure it cant be zerged in high lvl zones is slap DR on it, HOWEVER, Leave the minimum reward of any event 1/3 of its max, so assuming I stay in a huge zerg and I hit DR when I do a lvl 80 event I would get 10s 66c. Still good money but not nearly as good as 32s. and have the DR reset when the daily does.
DR should be in blocks though, so if I hit DR in the level 71-80 range of events if I do a level 60 event DR would be gone. So there would be 8 blocks 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc all the way till 71-80.

Also on a side note Veterans should get the old Champ loot update, for those of you who forget what that was, all champs dropped one piece of loot without fail(except event champs) I think all Vets should drop at least one piece of loot. Whether that be armor or a weapon, mats, or w/e. but only non-event vets.

I think these two changed would really have people going out and doing events and exploring to find Vets to kill. And of course this is a mere suggestion so these numbers could be tweaked a bit. Perhaps 32s is too high? Have DR start after 10 events at a given block level?

Any Thoughts?
