Guild Wars 2

We all know that players are like water, they will flow through the path of least resistance. As of now there is little encouragement for players to try the more difficult paths of dungeons. They are less rewarding and more time consuming. In fact the only reason to do the longer paths is so players do not get penalized with DR for being good and clearing the other paths too quickly.

A quick and easy solution would be to add weekly quests. Once per week, if you complete all 3 paths of a dungeon, you are rewarded in a manner similar to the daily. Completing all 3 paths could grant you an extra 300 tokens, some XP, some gold, and an item or two. Since it is limited to once per week this would encourage players to work a few full clears into their rotations. The clears for more difficult dungeons could have increased rewards.

Should this maybe also include the story mode?

Story mode seems to be intended more as a “do it once then that’s it” kind of thing. Plus the story modes are long and horrifically imbalanced (some are easy, some are harder than explorable.) Maybe a general do X story modes weekly?

Or they could just improve the dungeons themselves. Handing people misc rewards won’t make them want to go through a pain sessions of certain paths.

Certain paths are so incredibly screwed up, that yes, this won’t work. However, this will help a ton with dungeons were certain paths a bit longer and harder, but still doable.

This is a good idea.
