Yesterday I did AC explorable path 2, which was the first time in weeks I touched AC, and >24 hrs since I last did a dungeon. I got 20 or 30 tokens. Everyone in the team got 60. I said, okay, maybe I need to do dungeons more than once for the new system to catch on, so I went to CoF, definitely took more than 30 minutes to do it got 10 or 15 tokens. Everyone else in the team got 60. Went to WvW, 5-7 hours later, did CoF, got 15 tokens, everyone else in the team got 60. Decided it wasn’t worth my time to do dungeons anymore if I was being rewarded equally as the team, but forgot I made that promise, did AC again tonight, got 30 tokens, everyone else got 60. And don’t even get me started on the consistent 7 silver which is what, 0-5s after repairs?

What is going on here? I am certainly not “speed running” dungeons and I’m certainly not doing them back to back.

I wanted to do dungeons for experience because I refuse to do another 300 hearts to level up my other characters, but I’m starting to lose all willpower to do them if everyone in the team is consistently being rewarded 2-3x more than me.

I do read the forums a lot, do read the dev comments, and while I understand why the system was implemented, and understand that it’s a safe net for exploits and speed runs, I don’t think it’s fair to use players as guinea pigs for so long. As far as I’m aware there is no exploit at the moment. The old system worked fine. Why should players be stuck with a broken system when the old one worked fine? Why can’t we use the old one until the new system actually does what it is supposed to?

So now that I’m not doing dungeons, what is there to do? To be honest I’m losing all willpower to play.

-Dungeon rewards are broken.
-Pre-patch and post-patch tokens don’t stack.
-WvW queue times are easily over 2 hrs on my server.
-Already wasted a ton of my gold because Ramon Damke or w/e his name is posted wrong patch notes and crashed the market.
-Personal story for my other characters is 11 levels ahead. What am I supposed to do? 500 more hearts? I thought GW2 was supposed to take the grind out of MMOs, but yet I feel like I’m doing GWAMM in GW1. Not to mention when I finished personal story on my level 80, I musta sent in at least >10 bug reports. Who knows what lies waiting should I attempt to do it again.
-Can’t accept 2 guild invites because of “Network Error.”
-All events are the exact same: collect this, defend this, kill this, hold this point.

The list goes on and on………………………………………………………………………….

I honestly feel like I’ve been wasting time, energy, and vainly sacrificing sleep for this game.
