Guild Wars 2

I like it first of all. Doing the standard storylines that give ample rewards is very nice (got many a Tier 6 material from them on 2 toons) I also like the storm revealed bags/box system so compliments there, but I’m afraid I have only 2 questions.

When can we expect to see similar systems in the rest of the zones? and What took so long? I remember not just one but multiple long posts in the forums that lasted for months that had thousands of posts on them, at a time early on about the lack of drops, how DR has misshapen the game and how it’s really difficult for anyone even with high magic find to get anything that sells so it’s not like we didn’t discuss this problem early on in the game. I also recall how exploration was supposed to be beneficial in a monetary sense early in the game and it was for about 1.5 months and then poof the chest drops were lowered.

I’d personally like to see similar weather/environment based rewards systems brought to the rest of Tyria’s open world. I’d also like to see all future LS updates have these types of rewards in the quests just like you have them now so it’s not so focused in a single zone, it would improve the game immensely. Thanks for this new style, thanks for listening to the players, keep up this good work.

I think the rewards are just as bad as they have ever been. Just because we get more of the same vendor trash, doesn’t mean rewards are good. I mean check this topic:

Nearly two years since the game launched and exotic tier of gear is still hard to come by for a good deal of people. I don’t mean buy it or craft it, but have it dropped or being rewarded with exotics. Heck, even the rare tier of gear is fairly uncommon. And then they added the ascended tier as well; I don’t need to mention that they’re as elusive as precursors for most people.

I agree that the chests revealed by the sandstorm are a nice touch though.

It’s a small step in a better direction. I’m hoping they have reassigned whoever was in charge of rewards and have a new person that is gingerly easing into doing what this game has needed for far too long. The game in general kinda reminds me of my govt. Is it great? No, but it’s better than most other options. Fixing their rewards would be like fixing our govt. corruption and balancing our govt. budget. It would make it great!
