Ever since the 07/09/13 update that added daily dungeon rewards we have received practically the same reward. For the past 10 months inflation has been going up but the reward has been 1.26g or 1.31g. I think 1.31g today buys noticeably less than it did when this feature was added, so the rewards should be adjusted for inflation.
Anet likely didn’t want to remove the armor stats entirely because…well,
we’ve all seen what happens in games where there’s no disadvantage to taking your pants off.
Unfortunately, that would lead to higher prices, as dungeons add gold to the economy rather than take it out (from tp flipping). While I agree we should be making more, as dungeons are my primary source of income presently, if we all did, I think we would see higher inflation of the prices of goods on the tp. (i.e., I think we would see 2000g+ precursors as a regular thing)
Evidence for this: The fall of the German economy post WW1. Money was printed by the government, and eventually a loaf of bread was costing millions of deutchmarks, which in turn allowed the country to be taken over by fascists. Adding more money to a regular income source that every player can accomplish would eventually lead to hyper-inflation.
Then Scarlet would come back.
No one wants that.
Ever.
Any economist who knows more than I please correct me if I’m wrong.
