Guild Wars 2

I want to put things into perspective right now. Months ago I completed my dungeon armor sets from every single dungeon. Every set of heavy armor, every dungeon. So I’ve run them all quite a bit. I still personally find them compelling, and I love helping guildies when they need it.

But, when you compare the effort/reward ratio for any dungeon compared to spending the same amount of time hunting world bosses, it varies wildly. The dungeon hook is a “slow” grind to get exotic gear, while there is no guarantee that a world boss will drop you any exotics. But they can. And they’re not soul/account bound. Adding the jewelry recipes was a good attempt to make dungeons more interesting, but those recipes were almost immediately made obsolete by ascended jewelry.

So I implore Robert and team, please do something to make dungeons more compelling.

Personal suggestions requiring less effort:

Guaranteed rare(s) when all three paths are completed in a day. (once per account)
A Laurel (once per account, only once daily for any full dungeon clear).
Not bound palette-swapped Dungeon exotics as rare drops from chests.
Bonus tokens based on the percent of mobs killed in a wing.
A slightly better chance at lodestones from chests.

Suggestions requiring more effort:

Guild event style optional events after the dungeon has been completed for bonus influence depending on the number of guildies in the dungeon.
Extra-rare exotic skins added as a rare daily reward on wing completion.
Extra-rare dyes added, with a flavor specific to the dungeon, i.e. shimmering green from TA, Sparkling Gold from CM etc.
Difficult Bonus Events that unlock karma vendors with armor reskin tokens, for example the untarnished CM heavy armor or some specialized town clothes.

I’m well aware that this is pie-in-the-sky, but I hate the idea that dungeons aren’t as compelling or rewarding as far easier content and I hope to start a discussion to help change that.
