Guild Wars 2

Assumption: You are not being rewarded with a skin or ascended chest:

Would you rather get nothing or a ring at the end of a fractal?

What is a bigger insult?

I honestly could use more berserker rings (my snaff’s gyres ran out a while ago). But if it’s going to be an Ettin band. Or… another lunaria… nothing is fine.

Can I trade my rings for dragonite please? QQ

I have 10 fingers, and I can fit 2 or 3 rings on each finger… and I still have extra rings!

Neither are insulting, its’ just a fact of dealing with RNG. now I have much much much much much… hate for RNG based loot systems… but it seems impossible to get away from in any game. At least you get 1/10th of a good ring for every fractal completion. Could be worse.

Pls Anet

can I be insulted by both?
If the fractal is no going to drop a ring, could it at least drop:
1. some extra gold?
2. T6 mats?
3. A named exotic?

It can’t be pure RNG though… I am willing to bet that zerk rings have a much lower drop rate. I have never had 3 bank tabs full of Crystalline Bands and Red Rings of Death. Plenty of Khilbron’s Phlyactery, Band of the Brotherhood, and Vassar’s Band though.

It’s almost as if they know who is running 50 Fractals and just dropping bullkitten rings to spite.

Ring. I need an ouroboros loop.

I’d rather the ring, personally. I need that 4.96 silver!

dropping nothing @ 50 is pretty insulting :/
I could use some zerk rings too. but those ettin bands >.<

I don’t like that rings are dropped at all. I think they should only be acquired via pristine relics, because as it stands pristines are just about worthless unless you have loads of characters to kit up… as someone pointed about above, there is likely a lower chance of getting the good ascended rings.

Doing daily fractals isn’t challenging after you do it a few times to learn the mechanics so the fact that we’re getting several free rings of the highest tier a day (on average) seems kind of… off. It doesn’t feel like it should be that way to me.

More rings. The 4 silver is really starting to add to my wallet and I’ve noticed a HUGE increase in my cash from from NPCing the rings. (sarcasm)

But can’t say no to free 4s when I’m a scrub and always have below 20g ._.

They should add amulets and accessories and simply put that into boxes too. Berserkers box of ascended trinkets, knights box of ascended trinkets etc.

Would be much better imo.

Both are insulting, mostly if the ring is not infused, and is yet another toughness-healing power thing.

A reward of 4s95c is a massive insult when the alternative is items that could cost upwards of 100g, or literally priceless skins. Fractals already has terrible rewards, even more so since they removed the 6 minute bonus loot level in the middle of the Dredge Fractal (minimum ~2g in 6 minutes is actually kind of nice, and reliable).

The 4s95c reward lets you know that they didn’t actually forget about the reward, they are actually thought about giving you a couple pennies.. at least being forgotten feels a bit better than being insulted.
