Guild Wars 2

heya everybody!

I am an experienced GW1 player, and this is what i miss the most in GW2:

rewarding chests!

Ok, let me explain this a bit more. GW1 was all based on skins, since max level was 20, and max equip was easy to get. Now there were a lot of “rare” skins, but also a lot of other cosmetical rewards, such as miniatures, eternal tonics and other, tradeable rarities.
Now, if i do a dungeon, or a big event chain with a reward chest, the whole experience feels boring and unrewarding. The chests do mostly contain junk (blue items, or those Crests and Marks whorth nothing), and if i do a dungeon, i know what my reward will be. See, i am not against the token system in general, it is just not enough for me. I miss the excitement if i open a chest and get, lucky hell, the most desired drop out of it. I miss the hope and disappointment before and after opening the chest, slaying the boss and so far…

I know the reasons why this is not in the game. They don’t want us farm the same dungeon over and over just for the hope of being lucky. They don’t want us farm the same events over and over again just because something special could drop.

But what we do now is farming the lands for goldies just to salvage them (for ectos), or throw our loot into the mystic forge, just for the hope of getting something useful (a goldie for example, or a weapon to create legendaries…)… this is just the same, but not as exciting..

now my suggestion:

please add rewards unique to some dungeons (or dungeons in general): for example the miniatures of Destiny’s Edge. It would be really nice if every dungeon chest could have the chance to reward us with a miniature of Logan, Rytlock, Caithe, Eir or Zojja. Or tradeable, eternal tonics. there are tonics in the dungeons, but those things are worth nothing, they just fill a spot in our inventories.
or add rewards for doing jumping puzzles and open jumping puzzle chests… A chance for getting something really nice, but COSMETICAL, and TRADEABLE.

Add some silly, rare items to the boss-event chests… miniatures, or weapon/armor skins (for example the lyssa temple event could drop a lyssa costume package if you are really lucky.)

as it is for now, i have my “checklists”. I know, i have to do the dungeon X about XX times to get what i want. I know i have to farm XXXXXXXX karma to get what i want. The checklists are fine, but this is not what it should be all about.

greetings,
