Guild Wars 2

So with this patch, it looks like Dungeon DR is hitting accounts now, even when running legit dungeons that take 25-30 min.

So I ask, really what’s the point? Bots aren’t doing dungeons, 26s reward for a 30 minute run isn’t game breaking (you can make more doing Orr DEs), and all of the token gear is account bound.

It just seems like one of those things that was put into place because of the CoF speed runs, and now that CoF is fixed, it’s just hurting tons of normal players. Between last week making dungeons useless for a large majority of players because of the dr bug, and this week fixing that bug but making dr account bound which hits after 3 runs in succession, it just seems really dumb.

I get DR for overworld farming to cut down bots, but since no bots do dungeons and dungeons are actually challenging, I don’t see the point other then to annoy normal players and get them to stop playing.

It was active from when DR exists, just because bugged you didn’t notice.
Yes, DR is accountwide. Or you was truly thinking to be smart and switch your chars and get an armor in a couple days?

From the other thread I made, it looks like it’s not the DR, but that the 60 token bonus is now account bound.

i.e. Running hotw path 1 on character A will net 60 tokens, then running it on character B will net 30 tokens.

Before you would get 60 tokens for each character.

I don’t really see the point as explained in my first post, but that is the way it is working now.

I think a few players ruined it for everyone else.

People were exploiting CoF (which is already bad in and of itself), logging off the characters they were using, logging into really low level characters that somehow managed to get to the area and then they joined the dungeon to claim the 60 token reward. After they bank them, they delete, rinse, and repeat.

It makes perfect sense why they made the token reward at the end account bound when you find out people are doing stuff like that.
