Guild Wars 2

• The bags of coins used to be 3-10 silver and have been reduced
• All money rewards from dungeons were reduced, at launch of HoT. This to reduce the money inflation in gw2 due to dungeon farming

DUNGEONS
“Dungeon rewards have been rebalanced to more accurately reflect the time needed to complete them. Experience and gold awarded for completing a dungeon have been reduced.”

• To compensate for the complete destruction of the dungeon community an dungeon reward was added.

“A new repeatable dungeon achievement has been added. See the Dungeons section below.”

DUNGEONS
“We increased dungeon rewards, including both gold and tokens. We chose to use a repeatable achievement to deliver gold rewards, as it encourages completing multiple dungeon paths while allowing dungeon runners to play as many dungeons as they like when it’s convenient for them, rather than tying players to a daily reset.
Added a new repeatable achievement for completing 8 unique dungeon paths. Completing this achievement will award players with 5 gold and 150 tokens from the dungeon of their choice.”

“Dungeon tokens given in the daily bonus chest awarded the first time each dungeon path is completed have been increased from 40 to 80 tokens.
All Aetherblade weapons now drop much more frequently from the chest that is awarded after defeating the Clockheart boss at the end of the Aetherblade path of the Twilight Arbor explorable-mode dungeon.”

The mentioned achievement is a repeatable achievement:

Dungeon Frequenter
giving a Chest of Dungeoneering: 150 tokens and 5 gold for every 8 unique paths completed, once finshed you can redo this immediately

Aftermath:
These 7 months coincided with the total destruction of the dungeon community.
at launch of HoT a lot of people left, and didnt purchase HoT because of this reason, furthermore dungeon-guilds and -groups ceased to exist, Speed clear groups dissapeared, the fast run groups vanished completely, and most dungeon runs are now from people who never did speedruns or fastclears.

Due to this reason it is no longer attractive to run dungeons for income. Which is the predicted outcome from the community, the repair was to little to late. And likely planned to have the above effect to protect the gw2 economy,

Yet I have no problem getting groups for any dungeon except Arah in prime time eu.

The Dungeon Frequenter chest adds an additional 62s50c per path … due to how easy most of the dungeons have become due to other changes this does not seem all the far out of line.

The rewards are roughly how they were, the playerbase playing the dungeons is mostly gone.

I can find ppl for the nightours as well, but finding a decent group tend to be difficult

jojorne.2175:

What will happen if ANet increases the reward from the Dungeon Bag of Coins to 25~30 silver per bag? I’m think about this cuz in fractals we have the “box” that can give some nice silvers.

it used to be 1g 25s per dungeon except for Arah paths certain ones gave 3-5g
but anet said nope – that’s way too much compensation for a long dungeon run, nerf it! and do nothing to fix dungeons all together.
