Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about the rewards you get from jumping puzzles and while I agree they are currently pretty lame (except for the wvw ones which are actually useful) no-one seems to be offering up a solution.

I propose that along with the rubbish items that are currently being rewarded from jumping puzzle chests you also have a chance to earn an amount of tokens (from a variable range depending on the difficulty i.e. easy = 1-3, normal = 2-5, hard = 3-6). Those tokens could then be collected over time and used at a merchant for among other things a special skinned armor set.

The stats of the armor set don’t have to be the best as its about offering a unique and worthwile reward from the jumping puzzle chests.

Why does there have to be a reward?
Completing the jumping puzzle in itself should be all the ‘reward’ you want.
If people are not happy with that, then I think they’re doing jumping puzzles for the wrong reason. i.e. just for the reward at the end, not for the challenge of it itself.

Tarn – with that mentallity I guess you are also wondering why there are rewards for story missions, dungeon runs, wvw, etc. right? Completing each should be the only reward anyone needs?

I think the OP’s idea is a good one, and will see people revisiting already existing content provided it’s not super grindy. If I have to jump-grind for a million tokens to get armor then I’ll just ignore it, much like I ignore the current dungeon tokens now.

When I read Jumping Puzzle Armor I immediately thought Sweet! Legendary bubble wrap armor for when I fall!!!
