This just hit me right,
An easy world Boss that takes 5 minutes to down has a guarantted rare item drop
while a dungeon run say even an easy one like AC takes 10-15 minutes to complete and it’s much harder, so why don’t we get a guaranteeed rare for that ?
rewards in this game are so subpar and sometimes down right wrong !

Because a rare is worth less than the 1.75g from completing an AC path?
Edit: Though if you made the same argument with champ farming instead I would have to agree with you.
they can keep the useless bloodstone T7 mats in dungeons and give me my guaranteed rare instead.
edit: your idea about champions having a guaranteed rare drop is also interesting, up to know I stay away from champ farming it is boring as hell, but if they did guarantee a rare I’d do those farm runs at least for 30 minutes or so.
(I hate farming, it’s so freaking boring)

That wasn’t what i was saying at all.
I’m saying dungeon rewards (or at least AC which you used as your example) are far superior to world boss rewards, and rightfully so as dungeons tend to be more difficult (with the exception of Tequatl and possibly some of the temple bosses). Therefore, your complaint make no sense.
However, champ farming nets far more gold than world bosses, yet, is just as (if not more) mind-numbingly boring. It also on average usually nets more gold than something somewhat challenging such as dungeons.
Therefore your argument should be: “Dungeon’s should give better rewards since they are more challenging/risky than champ farming yet yield lower rewards.”
I see your point but you’re missing mine, I like dungeons if they replaced that useless bloodstone dust with a rare and keep the gold rewards intact I’d be a happy camper.
I only do the world bosses and temples events because of the dragonite ore, they are needed for ascended crafting and there is no other way to get it. I would like to be able to get it from dungeons too, i’m from a small server and cursed shore here is always empty, we rarely have enough people to run Melandru so I need to guest on big servers to do that.
But really, i dont like these events :S
Edit: you can get dragonite ore in wvw by taking keeps, but it doesn’t give much ore and my server is not always going well on wvw, it would take forever to farm the 500 ores needed for crafting a weapon.
You ve nailed it on the head
Dungeon rewards = word bosses / champs farm more or less.
Anet made this new rewards on champs and world bosses just for the casuals in this game + the inflated economy.
What bothers me is not how others play , its the fact that good teams , of even players that have the guts to pug all day long in dungeons, dont get a proper reward. What is that wonderful in a zerg of players running from champ to champ, why should a meaningless style of play like this reward so much gold ??
If some1 has something else to say, then go ask some of the casuals that are buying arah runs every day, ask them mate have u worked hard for that 20g u just paid for p4, are u that scared of this “raid” ? LOL; most of them are clients not a 1 time buyer.
I am not the one to say how things should work but it doesnt feel right how it is atm.
Rewards have always been unbalanced in GW2. They were unbalanced before the champ loot purses were added, before the fixed gold reward in dungeons was added, and before the rare items were added for the world bosses.
I can farm the same champions over and over for hours but…..
I only get the rewards for dungeoneering once per path per account.
I mean seriously at least make it per character.
if not than limit the champion bags to once per day per account as well !

(playing devil’s advocate here)
Your argument is kind of flawed, because you can keep running dungeons on the same or different characters all day, and the champions/legendaries in there will also keep dropping their reward chests.
I agree that dungeon DR should be changed, but the way you propose isn’t a good sollution.
In my opinion, running the same path again on a different character should yield 50% of the gold reward every time you do it again (so, for example, for Arah p2: 3g – 1.5g – 0.75g – 0.375g – …) and tokens should be changed to 40 – 20 or at least 30 – 30 instead of 20 – 40.

A useless level 35 Rare if you got it from AC, as opposed to a lvl 80 (75+?) one from Meta Events.
Though those events are hardly chained up well without a lot of luck and guesting all over the place, whereas dungeons are always there for you
Well… Unless they’re contested… Why is ‘contested’ a thing? -__-
Soldier’s Orichalcum Inscriptions sell for over 4 gold, and you can get them from salvaging stuff worth 210 tokens. Of course you don’t get them 100% of the time, but still; it’s worth it, because you also get ecto, dark matter and ancient wood.

Or if you’re lucky (like me) 200 AC tokens will make you an easy 3.5g from Colossus Fang recipe.
Definitely this. Try running the dungeons with easy p3’s, such as AC/SE/TA(f/f). This will give you a chance at the dungeon recipe. The TA nightmare coil is about 7g for every 200 tokens. If you have a good group, you could spam Arah p4 for the chance at the Bloodstone fragment recipe for 11g per 200 arah tokens.
However, these are quite rare…but something to try and look forward to to make the dungeon token rewards very appealing.
I have Colossus Fang, Nightmare Coil, Operative’s Creed, and Infinity Coil (meh) as well as a spare Colossus Fang and and Operative’s Creed recipe chilling in my bank. I would give them away if I could
I gave up on Inscriptions as a reliable source of income after salvaging 12 (Soldier’s) exotics in a row without a singular inscription or glob of dark matter, think I got like, 3 ectos though….
