Guild Wars 2

Let’s face it, who runs story dungeons nowadays?

I reached the spamcap for a week, every evening, looking for group for a TA story. Not a single answer, and I am on a highly populated server. But that’s just an example; I fear that after this patch it could be even worse, with the reward sistem giving a ridiculous and fixed 50 s.

I feel that story dungeons must be saved for three main reasons:

1) They give newbs a chance to experience the combat system in “semi-organized” pugs, hence increasing the chance to have decent players in high level content.
2) They contain important fragments of the general lore.
3) They are an important medium of diversification in terms of ways to level up, adding to a more enjoyable path to the 80.

I would like to propose a few possible remedies:
1) Put in an interesting mentor-like daily to attract higher levels to story dungeons. No, not a normal daily once in a while: I’m thinking of something more sustained in rewards, and present every day. Let’s say, a +10 daily achi points?
2) Add a bonus reward for high levels (with an intelligent ratio of money/level) for every newbie they have in group.
3) Give us a LFG tool, at least for story dungeons, to gather us few story runner noobs across the servers.

Some times I have to wait maybe 30 minutes to an hour. But almost all the time I manage to get a group together.

At the time of my posting there are 2 people lfg within the last 6 minutes. If you are here. you have 3 only need 2 more.

I do agree with this.Their needs to be something done with story mode.Some are just way to long and not very rewarding.I did the stories that I needed to unlock exp mode on certain dungeons but I will never do it again unless absolutely necessary.I want to help other people or guildies on there story mode but like I said not rewarding at all.What LorVan said is true there needs to be something to attract players to run story mode again.

They could:

A) Make it so these can be soloed. Reasonably, of course.

B) Reward you with tokens as well as explorable. No diminished returns however, that’s stupid.

C)..um..well, that’s it really. I guess.

Good ideas op. I think that the 50 silver for one run per day was actually a buff as after that the silver reward is about 16 plus loot. I ran ac story three times today as I was leveling my 55 ranger and most of the people I played with were under 1000 ap so new players are continuing to come. Strangely on the level 55 ranger I got a lvl 80 exoticstaffas a drop while in ac story. Monsoon staff. Never had that happen before.
