Guild Wars 2

So as I was going through Straits of Devastation I participated in what is known there as the “zerg”

A large group of people running around chaining events nonstop.

I did it and found that the reward kind of, well, sucked. It was really only good for the Karma, but even then I could get better Karma rewards in WvW and get medals of honor.

The gold rewards were mediocre, same gold you would get for any other event. Due to the chaining and fast completion times you got it slightly more often. But the gold reward were still incredibly mediocre. The best gold comes from events where waves of minions spawn, and you can just AOE them all. The only events where that happens in that chain is the chopper event, and antimage event. Giant spawns grubs but it’s a small amount and grubs don’t seem to have very good drops.

So, why? The gold is mediocre. The Karma isn’t that great. The only reason I can think of is XP, but I see many 80s doing the events.

Meanwhile Melchors Leap is empty with 3 people trying to kill Lyssa for an hour before giving up due to no one participating.

It’s because the dragon spawn, and he has a chest, as u know looting chests escalate with your level, so u lvl 80 come and farm the ragon each 3 hours or so.

I don’t think you have any idea what I’m talking about.

Yeah, pretty sure there isn’t a dragon in Straits :P

Because you don’t get better karma rewards in WvW.
