Guild Wars 2

I don’t know why you guys thought it was a good idea to make the 60 token reward account bound now, this was a terrible change. I have 6 level 80s, and I would play each of them in dungeons if I needed to farm tokens to get weapons, armor, or skins that I wanted. It was fun because it promoted class diversity, so it made me learn each class.

What incentive do I have now to ever play a class other than Warrior/Mesmer/Guardian? When I level a Necro, why would I ever take it into a dungeon? It doesn’t do as much damage as my other classes, and doesn’t have much for group support, so if I’m being rewarded the same regardless of which character I take, I’m not going to play the classes that are less optimal.

Things were just starting to head in the right direction in terms of class diversity for dungeons with the balancing you have done, but the classes are still not perfectly balanced, so with tokens being account bound now, there is no reason to play a class that is underpowered compared to other classes if you have multiple level 80 characters. This is also a punishment to those of us who have put in all that time to level multiple characters. One of the reasons I’ve worked so hard to level all these characters was to be able to farm tokens better. Why are you punishing people who put in all that work? People who take the time to level up and gear multiple characters should be rewarded for that.

Making the 60 token reward account bound was a really bad decision that punishes people with mutliple alts and discourages exploring new classes. This should be changed back to being character bound, the way it was before.

What? Making them account bound doesn’t punish people for playing multiple alts, having them soulbound did.

I have one character of each class, and I can play dungeons on whichever I want because the rewards go to one pool. If they were soulbound, I would essentially be forced to play the character that already had some tokens.

You make a good argument for the opposite of what you’re suggesting.

tokens from dungeons were always account bound, they NEVER changed it.

If you want to have them soulbound, just keep track of whichever alt gets the tokens (excel, notebook, whatever) and be sure to just spend as many tokens as that alk earnt on armor for him, solved without inconveniencing those (like me) who prefer it account bound.

The OP is talking about the 40-token daily reward for doing a unique dungeon path being per-account rather than per-character, not the tokens themselves being account bound or soulbound.

This, I’m talking about how you can only get 60 tokens for a dungeon path once per day for your entire account, regardless of which character you’re playing. Yesterday, you were able to get 60 tokens for your first run on each character.

I think this patch just changes it to be what they always intended, doing the same dungeon over and over, whether its on different characters or not, results in diminishing returns. I don’t see why it shouldn’t.
