So, in GW1 Anet released the ability to choose the Hard mode option for content. I think being able to choose to do a hard mode dungeon or even possibly raids having a hard mode would be great for the game for replay-ability. Those who aren’t interested in doing Hard mode won’t be forced to do it. Leave the difficulty of the base game how they design it and just have the option to play a Hard mode if we so choose?

Would this even be easy for them to code into the the instanced areas such as living story and dungeons? I know with GW1, it was much easier because all but the towns were instanced zones, so I can see how easy it would be to have that. But I’m not sure if they could do that with the instanced areas for GW2. If anybody from Anet could even think about adding this in the future, that could be really fun for those who want to do a harder version of a dungeon instead of just resorting to fractals for a challenge for smaller organized group activities.

Yeah, the same rewards but maybe a bit of extra gold or something, but nothing that will make non-hard mode players have an issue with. Just something for people who want to try a harder AC dungeon than face-rolling through it all. Having options for different challenging things would be good for the game. Or slightly boost the chance of item drops from mobs in them versus normal but the same items will drop in normal as they would in hard mode. Just something that I believe the devs could think on and come to a decision on. Imagine a hard mode Arah! haha :P, that could be quite interesting.
