Guild Wars 2

I want to give my opinion and complain a little.

I love dungeons and I use to run them on a daily basis with many of my characters. I have 80’s on most professions, just don’t have a Necro 80 yet. My favorites are Warrior and Mesmer. But I used to run dungeons with most of them, to change gameplay a little and because I could get rewards multiple times that way. With the new system if I run a dungeon with any character I won’t get the rewards, even boss chests, with any other character anymore until server reset. That is really frustrating for me and I find myself using only my favorite characters lately. I mean, it was a big incentive, the way I see, to create and use different characters/professions to get more rewards, but now that is gone and I just don’t use some of them anymore.

I suppose they changed things so we are forced to vary more on dungeons and paths, and while I find that a good thing I hate the fact that my Alts are not as useful as they used to be and that I will probably use less and less some of them sticking only with the ones I like most.

I don’t know the opinion of most people about this issue but I would like to know what the community think about it.

I kind of liked the old system too, although then I used to play longer hours. I can run the dungeon again after the account wide dungeon path reward restriction and get max rewards on an alt char. I also run dungeons with friends so now I feel forced that I have to save paths that I might run with them so I wouldn’t be running a not-so-rewarding run. But sadly Anet wants me to play how they want.

As for taking less than optimal characters, my friends haven’t been playing much so I pug a lot more. I join parties when my character matches the description.

I’ve been PVPing on my necro (staff/scepter) but I really enjoy the dagger animation so I look for non-restricted parties and run him there even if he’s only wearing rares.
