Guild Wars 2

Due to the great search function I wasn’t able to find other recent threads regarding this, but recently ANET have showed they are willing to hand out rewards through means such as ascended boxes, the new living world etc. where players can choose their own stats on the gear they receive. This basically got me think, each vendor for dungeons currently sells 3 stat combos for 3 armor weights, ditto with weapons. However, what if each vendor only sold 3 armor sets, 1 for each armor weight which would then allow the player to choose stats on the item. Do you think people would suddenly ignore certain dungeons due to stats on the gear from them or do you think people would still play them for the skins? Because I think it would be quite nice to just worry about a skin when you buy a dungeon reward, rather than also having to worry about which dungeon has which stats available.

So in short, I think being able to choose the stats on dungeon armor and weapons would give players more freedom when they are gearing up their character with additional armors. As a minor bonus it would also make it easier to find the item you want on the vendor.

Well, it would be very nice change, however it will make the stat combos which are not sold the dungeon vendors available, which I guess is not wanted by Anet (For example Celestial, it will become much cheaper than now.)

They could limit the amount of stat combos to the current dungeon-stats sold by all different dungeon vendors (PVT, PPC etc.) that way Celestial would remain exclusive to crafting aswell, while having the convenience of choosing your dungeon-stat rather than having to run a specific dungeon for specific stats.

I never had a problem as arah is selling berserker and that’s what I need. I wouldn’t mind assassin, though.
