Guild Wars 2

Nay of the Ether.8913:

• RNG is bad, it has always been bad, we have known this since the beginning. Gambling away trying to get a single skin and failing is no one’s fault but your own. The fact they put the skins behind RNG chests is beside the point. If you gamble away trying to get it, you are to blame, not them. Is it good to put stuff behind RNG? Nope, but no one is forcing you to do it and it’s not required to play the game at all, nor does it give you some advantage over anyone else.

Your right, but RNG is bad for a reason, because there isnt enough items in the game to allow RNG to work properly. Let’s face it, there are zero decent drops for characters under level 80, theres no point in even trying to get cool stuff while you level, because the game makes it so easy to grind to 80 its not even funny. Which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but the entire “weapon/armor” aspect of the game is centered around a small set of 5-10 legendary items that take forever to craft. Other then that, what other option do you have besides dungeon weapons and the AH?

This is probably a kitten poor example but if any of you have played WoW (which i hate comparing to) people fought instance bosses in 45 man raids, and would literally fight to the death over getting 1 or 2 awesome drops. That gave that game purpose, and continuity. This game doesn’t have that.

There needs to be a compromise if your not going to employ a system like that otherwise you will never keep peoples attention spans held long enough before the next MMO comes along and people jump ship. Living world content needs to be more engaging and the rewards need to be greater, but more importantly, there needs to be more then just 1 or 2 sources for great rewards. I mean there litterally was NOTHING rewarding about doing the storyline mission as I have said in the past, ZHAITAN WASNT EVEN HARD, HE WAS ANNOYING. That single mission, victory or death, really broke my hopes for this game and Ive only had it for 2 months. The mission should have been called, “Bored to death: the worlds longest trans-continental flight”
