Gift from Gods
I agree that the reward is pretty lackluster, but it goes against the devs philosophy of “play the game how you want” if you HAVE to do the story to get some EPIC reward. You can pretty much play and do whatever you want and be an equal to anyone else so if anything gave “better” or “more epic” rewards than anything else, it’d essentially be forcing people to do whatever it was.
Not that it’s not 100% balanced… like when it comes to fractals and the new laurels system that are (currently) the only way to get ascended gear… but they’re working on adding more ways to get ascended gear so that eventually no matter what you do, you will be able to get all the best gear (besides legendary weapon which isn’t better in stats, just looks, so technically it is not an advantage at all.)

I am not asking to give everything, but at least that weapon will be exotic but not rare with all the time you get. And some title, like Tyria Defender or smth.
