I’ve played more than my fair share of games where there would be a well-known enemy that, once defeated, would drop a piece of armor or a weapon. I liked it especially when it was related to who I killed—and even moreso when it was something that they were wielding or wearing.

In GW2 I don’t see much of that. With the new LS update there are the new weapon skins, but…it’s not the same. Some bosses also drop unique weapons—which is great! But I’ve seen them all in the trading post beforehand :P. What I am suggesting is the introduction of either new bosses (around the level of champions, probably—perhaps higher or lower depending on the drop) that will drop weapons related to them, or armor that they were wearing, or an armor set related to them. And I don’t mean for it to be found in a RNG box—I mean for it to drop purely on its own. It could have a rare chance of dropping or be there no matter what.

In other games, and I find this to be a huge plus with the quest system, you can have “trophies” of sorts from your quests in the form of these unique and often interestingly designed weapons and armor. They are trophies because they are a one-time thing, and you will always have a 100% chance of them dropping.
So, no matter what, after murdering Mario in cold blood you will receive his hat. And then, you can wear said hat. Said hat may or may not be tradeable (usually it isn’t). I wanted to suggest that this could somehow be incorporated into the PS, but I don’t think that is possible and instead I will go back to a point I have brought up before—please introduce more personal stories, ones that do not follow the main storyline. Then, perhaps this could be introduced. I think it would add to the overall appeal.

i don’t know what’s going on
