[Suggestion] Fractal Relics for Dung. Tokens
People do dungeons daily because the achievement gives 5 gold for every 8 unique runs. If you want to run it, you should post to LFG and wait for a bit. Or you could join a guild aimed for newer players, or advertise themselves as a dungeon guild. People definitely still do dungeons.
Make a LFG post for the path you want to run. Barring TA Aetherpath, I’ve never had to wait very long to get a full group. In my experience 1-2 people who join are usually new to that dungeon at least, if not new to the game. But still with elite specs and proper gear dungeons are a breeze, even with new people in the group.
You guys have had more luck then me then. I waited for up to an hour while farming before I finally left group and gave up. I’m not a new player so I’m not going to join a new player guild. 5 gold is not a lot and very easy to make from just doing the new maps, its really nothing in comparison to how much an be made. Not sure why that was mentioned, it’s not like people are going to do dungeons for 5 measly gold. I also don’t mind new people in the group or even if the group is short. In full ascended/leg/elite spec/right builds, I’m sure the damage output is much greater nowadays.
While I appreciate the help, what you both have mentioned doesn’t help any. It doesn’t change the fact that anytime I try and que up for any dungeons at all outside of when it’s the daily, I either get tired of waiting, or hours go by and I can’t be online anymore.
i also have friends that ask me all the time for the stupid paths. Alot of ppl dont enjoy fractals and consider their lowman comtent to still be dungeons and other still want to ger dungeoneer. Either way there are still ppl running it.
You also have the option to run a WvW reward track and get it that way, although I do not know your stance towards WvW
Dungeons have been dead since HoT while lfg remains the most deserted lfg category in the game. Even the zerker and paid runs of the past have completely vanished.
The only fix is to return the gold rewards they removed.
The 8 run achieve is a joke that takes days to complete done not for gold but usually for Arab tokens. It’s so bad that they added WVW and PvP reward tracks to farm the gear weapons and tokens.
Anet is aware they’ve added pvp and WVW methods so it’s completely understandable for fractal players to also have a reasonable method to farm tokens. To disagree with this is to obviously disagree with the very reasoning for WVW and PvP to be able gather tokens from a dead mode. The issue is whether relics conversion is the answer. Fractals are a seperate mode . I see nothing wrong with relics because the price can be adjusted just make it like other methods and require story mode be completed first before allowing the option to exchange and a price high enough to equal the time for pvp reward track at least. WVW reward tracks promote people to go Afk and over rely on potions while the pvp reward tracker isn’t a time based ticker and rewards involvement.
Last bit Raids get legendary armor, pvp gets a legendary backpack, PVE gets weapons, WVW gets squat, and fractals has its own legendary backpack because fractals is a seperate mode and worthy of mechanics spread across modes like token collection since dungeons are the most deserted and vacant of them all.
Thank you Doam, I really appreciate your reply. You’ve summed up a lot, and I agree with everything you’ve said.
I ran into this issue as well, I wanted the Bifrost, but I ended up getting Nevermore because Bifrost required running Arah.
