They aren’t removing the time gate on the boss chest. And they are only reducing, not eliminating the direct coin that’s dropped.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

Guys they aren’t nerfing dungeons because they feel like it is farmed 2 much. They are nerfing it to FORCE people who don’t have HoT to buy it else they’ll go broke. Fractals only reward 1/3 the money it should reward to begin with and has long been overdo for an increase.

Which john Smith described as a large decrease in gold.
Not moderate, large.
I fully expect like 20 silver the first time

So i guess ppl wil now farm only one quick path over and over again like the good old days (SE P1, COF P1)

Yes, unless you only get decent gold from the daily chest, in which case they will usually do the same easiest 3-5 fractals

But thats the point, to make fractals into dungeons

That’s what I expect as well. The purpose is to dissuade players after all and many players are reward driven.

So (dungeon runners) shove. Go do something else. Love, ANet.

Will there be any changes to increase the in-flow of certain expensive cooking ingredients? eg Chilli Peppers, Sesame Seed and Lemongrass?

Q.
Greetings, John! In the blog you mentioned there are a couple broken markets. Can you shed some light on which markets you consider broken and why?

A.
I can’t until after release for fear of making those markets go insane with speculation (moreso than they probably already are).

Hi John,

we are now nearly 3 weeks after release. Can you give these information now, or is it still too early?

Hey, John Smith. I have some questions.

1. Why do you hate PvE so much?
2. Why does Anet have to make so many bad decisions?
3. Why are you trying to force Fractals? They’re not fun.
4. Why don’t you add real dungeons and just remove Fractals from existence.
5. Why is your response to #4 a bullkitten answer? :^)

Here, ladies and gentlemen, is a brilliant example of how not to get questions answered. Stellar peevishness slathered with smarmy entitlement. Really first rate.

Yeah, because these garbage changes warrant anything else. Not.

“Not”? Did you just watch Wayne’s World?

Anyway, none of the specific changes have been announced. It’s the usual, “sky is falling” attitude of this forum, or perhaps some gamers in general, feeding into the doom and gloom. As was mentioned, dungeons are a broken gold faucet that have long needed to be and are being nerfed. The qq is being justified by lofty notions of dedication to content, but the heart of the matter is that mommy took the teat away and now the broken farm can’t be exploited any longer.

No this isn’t the case at all. dungeons would take more than 3 hours to complete for an average of 20 g per day…… go run sw for an hour…. or better yet just do your events, for the same amount of time…. see this was a more interactive way to earn the gold…. not just run around like a bunch of helmet heads getting free gold from SW or DT and eve Karka…. talk about broken just look at your Obi shards. t6 mats like crazy….. Sir re evaluate your answers they are a bit.. well dull.

It isn’t “free” gold, it’s earned, and you need large quantities of obsidian shards for ascended crafting and legendaries so it’s logical you’d get 2-10 from a chest (it’s only a chance to obtain them not a guarantee) You do the meta, you lock down thrashers and teagarrifs with rubble, dagger 5, and sword 1 for daze, take out vines, lure mobs under the fire bucket, and on an ele use all your elements due to an actual need (water to keep players alive and speed up rezzing as well as chill fields, fire for general DPS and burning, wind for group swiftness and some CC and ricochet tagging, etc.) and mostly everyone else plays their parts too (except for leeching AFK’ers who scale, no one likes them.)
