Hello Anet,

I STRONGLY disagree with how there are guaranteed rares in world bosses now.

The dragon/world events aren’t hard and take pretty minimal time to do, and does not take too long. But now that they award guarenteed rares, the reward you get for the time/effort you put it is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than anywhere else in the game.

Which means EVERYONE is just farming these events, and not really doing anything else. It doesn’t make sense to do anything anymore, when you can easily earn 1G worth of stuff in barely 5 minutes if you hop around different events.

So there’s there’s a ton of people camping multiple characters in these events and guesting all over just to do these events. Once my guildies told me about it, I ran about doing these events on all my alts for a good hour or so, then felt silly. Because it’s just so easy to obtain rewards, it’s ridiculous.

While upping loot rate is great, making it guaranteed on such easy content is wrong, I feel, and I sincerely hope you nerf the loot from the world events.

These chests should be given out once, across all servers and characters, once. Or it should be affected by (shudder) DR. But then it should be done right.

Why not make the events harder, rather than just nerfing the loot cause it’s too easy?

Or, do this! Make them a lot more intricate and difficult to complete, not the cake walk we currently have. And participation needs to happen from the start. I see too many people in Claw of Jormag stand off to the side.

You’re getting more rewards, but the game as a whole is degraded.

People doing the actual event is having a tough time because of the incredible amounts of lag/culling.

No reason to do really do anything else in the game for rewards, because this one is so imbalanced.

I don’t mind better rewards, I wish they were BALANCED across the entire game.

It’s the exact same problem as CoF path 1. People run it repeatedly because it’s incredibly rewarding for the time it takes. This encourages concentration of people in just one area of the game, and that’s not good for the entire game as a whole.

Recently, I remember Colin Johanson saying that one of the gameplay philosophies is about having the rewards respect people’s time. I think the update with the almost guaranteed rares reflects that change. Most of these world bosses take longer than 15 minutes to do, when you consider having to do pre-events alongside them, not to mention having to also wait for the events to start.

Before this update, the only way to get as much profit is by farming CoF or other area’s and doing the same thing over and over again. This change makes it more encouraging to actually have fun and get rewarded at the same time rather than be bored and get rewarded at the same time, because you’re encouraged to do all kinds of different events during the day.

With this change, you can be doing anything in the game, and earn the around the same amount of rewards, regardless if you’re doing dungeons, Fractals or world events. I for one, welcome this change, and hope Anet doesn’t nerf these world event chests.

But you don’t get the same amount of rewards.

I no longer have a motivation to do fractals for loot. Why bother, when you can get the same amount of rares easier and faster?

Dungeons too. The only dungeon paths remotely similar to profitability to this new event-spamming is CoF 1.

With fractals/dungeons, at least you had to work for it. (Not CoF1, but that’s also a problem.)

I just did Maw in like 1 minute, with all the people zerging it, and got a rare for it. The reward/effort is completely out of skew.

I agree we worked and worked with them to remove the DR and the crappy drops and now some people who obviously wanna keep control over the messed up excuse of an economy we have now want DR implemented again?! two words

NO WAY

If you guys want to manipulate the market for easy gold you’re going to have to find a better way and actually work for it now, the loot system was bad enough before, and the Devs should not allow a few early launchers to manipulate them into making the loot go backwards to a time when 50% of the population of this game received nothing for their time easy or not.

You know and here’s another problem. None of the dungeoneers had a single problem with this title when the Devs made almost all of the loot drop in Fractals but now that people are culminating in areas to try to catch up from what was effectively Tyria’s Great Depression NOW everyone has a problem with it.

Sorry not buying it.

You sound sadistic tbh. There are alot of casual donkeys out there who don’t want to chase the carrot hanging from the stick for an eternity. I say this with good intentions, I think you need to really have a long think about why you are being driven to grinding.

Occasionally you see people die at a world boss, but I do agree they are pretty easy and the lag yesterday was redonkulous.

Now that you only get one chest a day from dragons/behemoth etc I think it’s a cool thing to get a rare…because you’d just repeat it 4 times that day and make the same money from blues and greens. Unless you got lucky.

The rewards are too good compared to the difficulity of the events. As i’ve said before, world-bosses are pinatas. There is no challenge. I think it’s safe to say that no-one ever wiped at an world-boss.

Some of the people on this forum would say that’s exactly what they want.

Exactly. How many times did they tell us that about Fractals?? If you don’t like dragon events you don’t have to do them fractal advocates.

I don’t mind dungeons, fractals, or Guild Missions giving out good loot. They are difficult and takes time (Except CoF 1).

To be quite honest, Fractals is really done just for ascended gear, not loot, so lets leave that out of the equation.

Most dungeon paths can be done in 20-30 minutes with a good-average group. That’s 60 tokens worth two rares, plus 25 silver and other chests along the way. Most events like Claw of Jormag, Shatterer, etc, take more than 15 minutes when you include the pre-events. You spend even more time if you’re just waiting for the event to start, so time it takes for completion ranges to like 1-45 minutes, for one chest with 1-2 rares and chance of other loot.

If you think about it, the rewards are really roughly the same. The game is just now making it more encouraging to do stuff other than fractals and dungeons all the time.

I would agree that it is too much IF these chests weren’t limited to once per day per character. This alone prompts people not to sit all day at the same handful of events and encourages players to do other events. Yes, people are camping these events, but guess what? They were already doing that. People were already logging in for five-ten minutes to kill a dragon and then either idling for three hours or logging back in the next time it popped. On the other side of that coin are the events that nobody ever does, like the Megadestroyer. With guaranteed loot people now have a reason to do those other events. In fact, if all you’re interested in doing in this game is gathering rare loot to sell or salvage then doing as many different world events as possible is the only option… and that’s a good thing.

Amount of time spent does not equal difficulity. You can basicly go AFK on most of the world-bosses, auto-attack, and get just as much loot as the rest.

Every entitled shmuck always wants more/better loot for everything. It doesn’t mean that should happen. It wasn’t at all like nobody was doing the bosses.

You’re encouraging people to just wait around for the event to start this.

15 minutes is incredibly generous for some of these pre-events. Like I said, Maw is on a 30min timer, and takes at max like 3 minutes to do in a big zerg. With the Dragon Timers online, knowing when to show up for an event is incredibly easy. This much reward for so little effort is ridiculous.

Omg if you don’t like it then don’t do it. Problem solved. I swear, you people whine just to hear yourselves whine.

Wow…. did you even read anything in this thread?
Posts like these aren’t worth anything for anyone. Don’t do it, please. It’s trolling.

If they made all these chests and rewards once per day per account then they might as well just erase 7 of my characters and give me 7 more bank slots since that’s all they’d be good for. I shouldn’t be punished for having worked hard at making alts.

^^Agree. If you worked and leveling alts, then you should be able to reap the benefits, not be punished for it.

It cheapens the rest of the game content. For someone who wants welfare ectos effortlessly, why would they get a group together to do something somewhat challenging for a chance to get a rare when they can now auto-attack for loot vomit every time a timer ticks by.

This is the opposite of what the devs intended to discourage farming and it just moves part of the problem of “nobody does it” from the open world to dungeons.

No, I won’t do it. However, I’m worried that it’s going to cause the majority of the population to coalesce towards these events, and nothing but these events. It’s bad for the game overall, IMO.

And lets face it, CoF 1 took more skill than afking for a 20 seconds on the Maw.
