Guild Wars 2

Yes there are some bigger changes I’d like to see in the game, but there are three small ones that I think would nicely improve the environment.

Power of the Mists Reset: Right now the rewards all completely reset when the maps are reset. This means two things. First, the rewards build up during the week, and then suddenly drop to zero. Second, the later and more difficult to get rewards last only for a limited time. How about instead each reward lasts for 5-6 days from achievement, continuing right through the reset. What and how much for the next level would depend on how many are currently active.

Karma Item Refund: I hardly ever consider it worthwhile to buy non-endgame Karma items. The TP has near equivalent items, and I can get most of the purchase price back when I sell/salvage them. I also don’t enjoy playing the lottery with the Mystic Forge. What if you could sell back Karma items for 1/2 or 1/3 the Karma that you paid for them? Suddenly I’d be willing to buy low or mid-level Karma items knowing I’d get something back again when I was done with it. Also it would be less expensive to experiment with endgame Karma items knowing I can put some of the purchase price towards a different item if I decide to change. I’d almost certainly end up spending more Karma because I would know that buying an item wasn’t a total sinkhole if it ended up not being what I wanted.

Dynamic Event Time Reward: For most dynamic events it is easy to get the gold reward with relatively little time investment. However there are events that are made to take a while, well past when anyone will have achieved the Gold reward. What if there was an extra “time based” reward for sticking with these events and seeing them through? You could even have a similar bronze/silver/gold tiering structure for actively participating in the event for 40/60/80% of its length. I’m thinking of events that, because of their structure, will always last at least 5 minutes or longer (not just a collection event that people took a long time to complete).
