Guild Wars 2

I find it a bit Rudimentary that although it makes sense you must run a certain dungeon to get the gear assigned to said dungeon, that in the end this means to get a piece of gear from one dungeon you must run that specific dungeon way too many times repetitively.

I think I have an easy recommendation here…

Make the tokens neutral and not dungeon specific, first of all. That way they can be used as currency for all of the gear from the dungeon vendors. Make the current dungeon specific tokens an actual separate type of token, that you must complete and kill the final boss to be dealt out 1. Just one.

Make the pieces cost however much they already cost but in the neutral currency of tokens, but add to that price a couple of (maybe different prices depending on which piece it is) “end boss tokens”. So it would be like this…

Arah Gloves = 300 Dungeon Tokens and 3 “Zhaitan” tokens
Arah Leggings = 350 Dungeon Tokens and 4 “Zhaitan” tokens

With this system, people would not be so incredibly limited in the dungeons they are running to acquire a certain specific set of gear because in order to rack up the necessary dungeon tokens they can run any dungeon they want with the dungeon tokens being a neutral currency, but if they want a certain set visually, they need to run that specific dungeon at least a handful of times to get the “end boss” tokens to purchase that dungeons specific armour.

Tell me what you think.

There’s a flaw in this plan, which is glaringly obvious when you consider it:

It doesn’t keep every dungeon populated. One dungeon would have the highest token/time ratio, meaning that everyone would farm one type of dungeon over every other type. That means that when you want to organize a party for Sorrow’s Embrace, nobody will be interested because they will be busy farming materials from another dungeon path.

I’ve posted a suggestion in a different forum if you’re willing to take a look.

People are doing that right now anyway (or they were especially with the CoF speed runs). You can’t really prevent that because even without my suggestion there are some who will just find the quickest way to exotics that they can, regardless of visual aesthetic or stats.
