Skipgeons and 80s
3) They only want 80’s because they have the trait points to spend and the abilities to go along with them as opposed to a level 35 who is statistically capable of doing the dungeon just fine but it’s easier with 80’s.
As someone who runs dungeons in their entirety almost everyday with friends and reaching for prestige – it’s very disheartening seeing farming guilds use exploits or skip half of a dungeon and be just as or more rewarded than my friends and I.
It also robs the prestige from gear. Having CoF gear means nothing to us thanks to the speedruns not too long ago and Arah gear doesn’t mean as much as it should thanks to the shard farming and players skipping half the content.
It’s a hard thing to manage and I really have no ideas on how to deal with it unless you linked rewards to the dungeon events and placed a DR on those instead of the run itself somehow. Putting rewards at the end encourages players to skip content and spreading it out allows players to farm easy bosses, reset, rinse/repeat.

I said this from the start and I say it again. Maxed out gear should be available to a cost of about 4-5 gold for an entire set + armor, and dungeon pieces should cost something like 1500 tokens, just like it was in GW1.
However, I don’t agree with your statement that skipping mobs should be less rewarding. I do believe that some changes need to be made so that it is harder to run past mobs with a disorganized group.

most of these issues will be fixed when the loot patch hits, w/e it’s ready.
they already said the Halloween patch is too soon for them to test it out, so it’s most likely coming in november.
