Really? Are whites and blues too good for us, so you had to include useless junk items in the random loot table for the LS reward boxes?

Apparently. At this point, I almost want to just ask them to get rid of junk items and just have the enemies drop coin instead, since the junk items just take up space otherwise.

Besides, what would the NPCs we sell the junk to do with it anyway? Do they forge the junk together into the supplies they sell to us or something? Meh. (shrugs)

Yeah, this is getting ridiculous. There shouldn’t be any junk or white quality items at all, especially for a Living Story episode. This is just bad.

It’s based on you magic find rating if I remember correctly, or is that only loot drops from kills? But yeah they are really weak. GW1 was like this as well, no reason why. I gave up on loot. It stinks, nothing much can or will be done about it.

I remember doing a dungeon in gw1, took a couple hours, final chest gave a useless white sword. Nothing else.

The white stuff doesn’t bother me so much (more salvage material doesn’t hurt), but the junk items do, since I usually get that anyway from killing hostiles while roaming about.

And again, if it has no purpose but to be sold for some change, they might as well just increase the coin drop from monsters and remove junk items entirely.

Yeah sometimes white gear is great, I think I have received Orichalcum and Gossamer from those salvages? Or was it mithril and elder? Anyway what bothers me is the fact that a reward chest gives you junk items…

“Congratulations on completing one of the hard achievements, your reward is more junk!!”

Allegedly, MF affects direct drops from kills only. And yes, I was stunned to see trash spikes from the first vignette reward.

My old boss would call that smoke and mirrors. Anet, newsflash, the loot is pretend, you don’t buy it, you don’t even make it.
