Guild Wars 2

Please Arena Net, revamp the temple events, right now, they are more profitable to let them fail than rather defending them, this, in my opinion is bad game design, making FAILURE better than success! It also creates animosity between players who want to complete the events as soon as possible for the trait unlocking (another bad design choice, but I’ll concentrate on temples themselves in this post).

So, what are the possible solutions? Simple:

- Make it so defending the event grants the big chest, and the pop-up chest we get from retaking the temples, once per day.
- Similar to The Maguuma Wastes, make it so defending the temple increases the tier of that temple, providing their items at a discount, or maybe, even perhaps, new items that makes defending worth it.
- At each tier completed, the mobs get more difficult.

Awful aren’t they? Those bags littering Orr.

Strange i haven’t experienced animosity of any sort at these things.

Successfully defending the temples opens them for business for players who need karma armor, orrian boxes or obi shards (balthazar only). So what if failing gives players marginally better loot? And if the majority of people wants to let the event fail, let them! The TP needs more t6 mats entering the market anyway

Conflicting goals is what makes it bad design especially in the context of Guild Wars 2.
