Guild Wars 2

Would it be so difficult to make the rewards from a map completion usable by the character which did the actual completion ?

Not talking about the random loot but the completion of a map …finished Strait of devastation yesterday…and got two exotic piece or armor ….

YEah!!!!???????…KITTEN !…unusable by my class !

Yeah I know : can sell, can give, can even salvage but I would have prefered “can use”

Frankly this is a little bit frustrating !

If you ever plan to get a legendary, you can always dump the stuff into the Mystic Forge and hope for a precursor…

Yup, I know….“hope” is the key word… …but still would prefer having a usable one….If I don’t need it…well could always follow that suggestion, but at least I would have been able to use it…..

That’s my point, it’s not that it’s totally useless…only that I find it frustrating that the reward is not taking account of the character class … map completion is not something as a random kill or even a boss kill as you can do those over and over…it’s a one time reward for that character.

I guess if you have one character or if you never plan on doing map completion on another character that could be an issue, but I just take the stuff and toss it to one of my other toons. I have one from each armor class and it is always something to look forward to when leveling. I don’t know, I don’t subscribe to the doom and gloom of the forums (not saying you are part of that crowd, but reading the forums is comical to me. So much so, I got a warning for laughing at people. I am an evil cyber bully as you can clearly tell.) You could also sell said item for money and then in turn buy the item for your character for roughly the same amount or at a huge reduction in cost. I know none of this solves what you want, but I just like to roll with the punches. Oh well, good luck in your endeavor of convincing Anet to change it to class specific rewards. Cheers.

Don’t stress about getting exotics that you don’t like — salvage them using higher-end salvage kits and hope for a few ectoplasms to craft your own perfect gear or sell them if they fetch a good price on the trading post.

I generally sell stuff that’s worth the same as a few ectoplasms, but salvage if there’s an expensive rune on it or it’s worth less then two ectos. With black lion kits obviously, of which I have a few stacks saved up from dailies, monthlies and chests.
