Quality of drops from quests and rewards
I feel you, its like walking around the streets of NY picking up pennies. just 100 pickups and u have a dollar. but nothing in NY costs a dollar. GG :P mentality.
the only good rewards I’ve found in any area of the game is map completion of the higher level zones. gives you a couple exotic pieces that sell up to a gold each.

I too have found this to be quite good for making money, granted map completion takes some time but the rewards for high level zones are decent.
The quest rewards are exactly the level of the quest. If you do the quests right when you’re of the level, it’ll work out fine. Actually the hat from CM-story is 45, so you may actually have to wait to equip what you get.
As far as the other stuff — I’ve recently become a believer in magic find. I equipped 4 Noble runes on an alt, and he started getting yellow and green drops. Still not guaranteed to be useful, but it raised overall what I had to choose from.
Finally, if you’re one who wants up-to-date gear as you level, you can get gear from the TP that costs just a few coppers more than you’ll get to sell it back. Consider it very cheap rent. In many cases, if you’re able to salvage the sigil/rune, you come out ahead on cost.
Make another armor set for Magic find and use it for farming it’s pretty dam good once you have it around 100%. You can also buy Omnomberry Bars and the cash shop item.

Magic Find in this game is broken, i have a friend with so much magic find its sickening and i dont have any and i get better drops then him. the only thing he gets more of then me is ecto.
Just wish rewards for map completion were tuned to your class. Its just not all that much fun getting something you have to sell. They might as well just give you the coin, since I’ve never received anything from any map completion that I was able to use and I’ve completed every zone I’ve leveled in. Just vendor or TP trash. Why are story rewards tied to your class, but map rewards aren’t? Makes no sense. The code is there. It takes no real effort to tune it. Since almost every MMO since 2004 has tuned rewards to your character, it doesn’t make sense why ANet would do something that adds NOTHING to the fun of “winning”. Yeah, more gold…big whoop really.
Why don’t you buy new gear with Karma? Its very easy to stay up to date with at least greens by purchasing them from heart vendors.
Probably because most people want to save their Karma for when they hit 80, instead of “wasting” it on items you can buy on the TP for next to nothing.
Exactly.
But because I need 15 chars here’s a useless sentence.
Yeah, I pretty much only spend karma on Blue armor that I like the skin of. Can get Greens, and with the stats you want, for a silver or two right up to level 80.
