Guild Wars 2

I am not a farmer and only do 1 major/minor dragon event per day.

I would like to see these events moved to a fixed timer. Waiting around for the event just because some online event timer says it is within the next x number of minutes is far from fun. It also tends to make everyone in the area waiting for an event that may or may not happen very grumpy.

2. Since I don’t farm, a single chest per day does not bother me, However, the reward from that single chest should be significant even if has to be account bound to manage the economy

I think the reason they were not put on a fixed timer was specifically to prevent farming like is happening now.

If anything, I’d like to see these big events to be random, with a minimum downtime of an hour or two, and a maximum of maybe a day.

The problem is that if you have time limits on your play then this is possible not to see dragon in your life? This will also increase guesting tremendously.
I’d rather see that the timer is fixed HOWEVER the showing of the dragon require several pre-events to be completed. I really like Shaterrer – timer is fixed but depends on completion of 2 events before he lands.
