Ive played mmorpgs for 14 years now, and tbh. i was done enjoying grinding years ago. For me the game is about acctually experiencing everything the game has to offer. As for the token system since day 1. you only have to grind the 1 same dungeon over and over to get the set you want, leaving the other dungeons untouched and not needed for you. aka i wont experience the full game with a worthwhile gain.
For me it would be merrier if i was “forced” to do the other dungeons to get my full set.
This can be done in a few ways.
1: Universal tokens for all the gear (but not now ppls will run the easyest one over and over)
So..
2: If you split the armorsets up abit. So you have universal tokens for say. boots and gloves. Another token for chest piece only. and so on. So all boots from ALL sets need the same token.
Making GloveToken drop in Dungeon A. And ChestToken you get from Dungeon B thats harder. And same apply for weapons, So Dungeon C can give Shoulder and Offhand weapons, and so on.
3: All bosses in the selected dungeon have 100% droprate on exotic. however, its from the full loot table of all the sets. So say DungeonA drop chest,offhand and helm. The first 2 bosses may drop the helm,offhand. and last boss drops chestpieces. Meaning when you kill the last boss, and only then you can get the chest ur after. BUT you can also get any of the other chests that you even cant wear. This makes you feel lucky when you actually get the drop you are after, and you can salvage the one you dont want or just sell to npc to feel you gained at least something. AND you might get ALL the sets you can use for showoff even though you didnt farm tokens for it. offc All bosses drop the same token at a reasonable rate.
This way, the old system can be rolled back, and or even stay as it is. id rather have dungeon lockout for an hour or 2 instead of DR, forcing me to travel about doing other dungeons to get my full set. Personally i dont think id enjoy my game when i can get 1 peiece of armor in just 1 full run. Id had my full set in less than a week and left to grind world the next year till expansion pack are released. So i would like to get like the old system of getting only 5 tokens pr chest. and with the +15 first time, +5 second time back into play. If i could run different dungeons to gain my 1 full set and in addition have a chance of getting pieces of the other sets im not hearting for id feel a much better reason to keep running dungeons over and over for a long period of time…..as the system is now, you basicly can stop doing dungeons after a week or 2 if you grind hard enough.
Further notice, I dont want my inventory to get filled with 10 different tokens, so these should be made UI bound as an currency like money. For me, the point with an alt char is to build it and play it like any other char i have. so why would i want my main to be able to farm dungeon gear for an alt? let me use my alt to farm gear for my alt. Id like to show off that im good with “this class” as well with “that class” – and when you can use main to gear up alt, you dont show that at all.
Flamers and ranters go ahead…flame!
