Guild Wars 2

I’ve been leveling a mesmer lately, and I have decided to do map completions starting with the 1-15 zones, then working my way up through the 15-25 zones, etc. As this is the 6th toon I’ve leveled, I thought this might be a nice way of leveling, while assuring my squishy self could stay alive and unfrustrated.

Doing this, however, has left me a little annoyed at the individual map completion rewards. So far, I have completed three zones (Queensdale, Metrica Province, and Caledon Forest), and, aside from transmutation stones and low-level crafting materials, I have received the following

1 Dagger
1 Speargun
1 Longbow
1 Medium Headpiece
2 Heavy boots

NONE of which a mesmer can use. Don’t get me wrong: I don’t expect level-appropriate rewards (I’m 26, but I don’t expect level 26 gear from Caledon Forest), but if you’re going to give me transmutation stones, it would be nice if the gear that drops at least has skins I can use, preferably unique (or at least uncommon) ones.

Map completion at higher levels will give exotics, which can be salvaged for ectos and upgrade components, so that is a reasonable reward even if you can’t use the gear. However, what am I supposed to do with a green level 15 speargun with a minor rune of krait slaying?

Is it too much to ask that map completion reward gear be limited to items that the character completing the map can actually equip? Low-level map completions aren’t hard, per se, but they are time-consuming. I would like to be rewarded for my time with something more than a trip to a vendor for 1.2 silver.
