Guild Wars 2

Just started the game few weeks ago and been doing the world bosses as I find them for my level but I always get bronze for my effort, Even if I join a group it seems. Is this a L2P issue or is it because I’m not 80 leveled down like most of the people there? Thanks for your time.

a relative level/damage issue. Tons of 80 players doing max damage leaves a non 80 little room to get gold.

Your ranking depends on how much damage you do. As a lower level, especially with down leveled 80’s doing the boss, it’s going to be tough to do the “gold” amount of damage if the boss drops too fast.

All in all I wouldn’t worry too much about it. You get experience from just about everything, so leveling up isn’t that tedious.

It is because of your level + gear.
Compared to all the lvl 80’s with exotic and ascended gear you don’t stand much of chance even if you play it flawlessly, but soon you’ll get gold reward there, leveling is fast.

Yep. Known game flaw, could be readily fixed, but won’t be.

Megaservers made it much worse, as things like the Fire Elemental die in 10 seconds so a player at it’s level may not get credit at all. A couple of the Maw prequels even the 80’s don’t get credit for. Get used to being told not to worry about it for many such issues. Just play the parts of the game that work.

Also, you start to get the “real” reward from world bosses at level 60 if I remember correctly, before that you don’t get the guaranteed rare item, so even a gold in the event wouldn’t give you much.

Well that seems more due to a limit on how many players damage are tracked at a boss event. If you aren’t one of the first X who attack the boss, or part of a party with a member who was, you simply miss out. The reason for players LFG at a boss events before the boss appears. Or so I’m told.

Yeah .. its however mainly about lootbags from bosses.

Since Megaserver for example when you do maw, do one run where you go and
shoot down the portals at the last preevent .. this time you mostly wont get
a bag from the shamen.
Now second try ignore the portals and directly start attacking the shaman even if
he is still invulnerable .. this time you would mostly get a bag.

For the bronze, silver, gold .. don’t know .. so often i get gold for events where i
didn’t even knew what exactly i did .. and then i get bronze where i was fighting
quite a while.

Sometimes it seems its something like damage done relative to time you were
at the event. In other events you just need to kill one mob to get gold.

Level 39 is when you start getting the bonus chest for those big events.
