Guild Wars 2

I’ve been experimenting with different ways to get loot and one of the ways was world bosses with magic find (tested with 100%). Anyway 3 weeks of killing as many world bosses that I could on every reset and this resulted in 0 exotic pieces. I repeat 0. Even with horrible luck, a player should never feel this unrewarded for being a part of a living world. I also feel your horrible drop rates are meant to deter botters in spite of people who are actually playing and working towards things.

And the reason I say loot in general is abysmal…is because I’m looting level 80 rares with the same skins as level 1 weapons (what the..? What is so rare about that?)…that is completely backwards in my opinion. I don’t want this game to be like any other game, so don’t go there: I’m just saying it takes away from the excitement. Yea I know..transmute stones, cool story. To me that’s just an excuse for laziness in the design of gear.

Anyway, I suggest you fix this stuff. I’m not saying it is a problem for everyone, but it really just turns me off the game.

*Before the white knights yell at me, I’m not trying to say I want an exotic to drop every single boss..but 0 times in 3 weeks? Yea..that is not only bad, but it also makes invested time seem wasted.

Run dungeons, a few runs and you have an exotic weapon of your choice.
Problem solved ^^

Just a heads up Dcypher, magic find does not affect chest drops, so it will not help you with world bosses. Magic find is better for cursed shore/event farming.

I also agree that loot is pretty horrid and provides little to no incentive for me to participate in a lot of the game.

That doesn’t solve any problem, and thank you but I already know there are other ways.

I thought this game was built upon the premise that you can do anything you want? That you get rewarded for taking part in the open world? So why would I have to do a dungeon to get an exotic to drop? (any exotic, mind you. Not a specific one)

Yea, and I feel that I am stuck doing cursed shores for the rest of eternity… Another point is if they are just going to bill these rares as whites, why give them good stats? They are obviously intended to be used, and by giving them level 1 skins I can only come to the conclusion that they feel it’s acceptable for a level 80 to run around looking like a level 1. Maybe some people like that, but I definitely don’t. The starter gear looks horrible to begin with.

IMO a lot of the starter gear looks better than the end-game gear (not a fan of most if not all dungeon gear), with the exception of tier 3 cultural armour and some crafted items.

Rares are pretty much 100% for Mystic Forge and Salvaging. They are more of a crafting material than an actual armour/weapon tier.

yah that 100% MF isn’t worth squat against world bosses. A huge waste of time and I would be mad.
