Guild Wars 2

What I want to know is: WHY IN GODS NAME DOES AN ELEMENTALIST GO THROUGH A WHOLE DUNGEON AND STORY, TO THEN GET 3 LEVEL 80 GREENS THAT ARE HEAVY AND MEDIUM?!

I mean come on, the loot from the dungeon was mostly swords and medium, I’m not too bothered by that.
The only thing I got of any use was the helm from completing the dungeon.
Anet, I hate to say it, the loot system is FUBAR.
I mean come on, I think… wait, it doesn’t matter what I think.

Not really, guild wars one was a weapon of your choice, same thing here, just its transmute bait, I like the look of the pact weapons.

And we have dungeons, karma, and crafting, or you can buy stuff to get some exotics.

In Guild Wars the end-game item was a unique weapon of choice and came fully loaded with max stats. Early on, before the expansions and the advent of websites that greatly facilitated trade, I remember being overjoyed to get that reward, which I believe had a whopping HP and energy bonus. It completely improved my character and looked better than what I had. To the end of the game’s lifespan uniques remained perfectly great choices unless you wanted to customize stats/skins. GW was not about numbers on your gear, but what you did with it.

After all the hype about GW2 not being about gear or it’s progression, why Arenanet are you being so stingy about gear.

I agree. I don’t think it’s right to ask that a player pay out of pocket for an exo and a Fine t-stone if they want a piece of gear equivalent to what most worked for at the end of the story. In fact I was very surprised at the rewards throughout the last third of the story, which was still serving up blues and greens, with rare exception (pun intended). There’s way too much grind for numbers to be stingy with rewards. This is where we get zergs rather than a community jumping to help others with their personal stories.

I really wish they didn’t tie rare/exo to ecto and MF, it totally jacks up their values and makes it hard for everyone to get on the same basic level. They should have just left ecto as rare drops in hard areas and used them and trophies and other items for the MF (you know, those otherwise useless items every player has to dump out of their inventory). No one should be complaining that everyone gets to look exotic, we did not care in GW save for the really expensive sets and the best mix/match+ dye combinations.

End of story loot is 3 greens I can’t use? Wow. I thought I would at least get something I could sell. All of the items I got put together sold for less than 8 silver. I am definitely not going through the story with any of my alts. It’s a waste of time.

I have to agree completely. I was so excited to finish and then open the bags. When I ended up with level thirty blues, I felt incredibly disappointed. I had to resort to a chocolate binge.

So would the appropriate fix for you be a new set of bags that give an appropriate level reward or the value of the lost chocolate?

Exotics aren’t meant to be handed to you on a silver platter. Get the Rare, transmute it to your exotic. There, problem solved. It’s what I plan on doing with mine.

The Mother Tree disagrees with you.

It was terribly dissapointing, for sure. Not at all rewarding after all that time – but I suppose the time itself was good fun.

I haven’t killed zheitan yet, but after there is no worthy reward, i have even less reason to make it.

I really enjoyed the final fight, but yeah— the loot was uninspiring. I don’t need some Legendary “kill all monsters, no saving throw” item, I just wanted something that looks cool. Call it a bragging rights skin, like the guild emblem skins.

I finished my PS today. From the 3 bags I got was a dagger, a medium helm and a short bow. Nothing a warrior can use. And all blues. So they are all vender trash. Haven’t seen what the pact trophy thing I have is for yet. But I’m guessing its for a pact weapon. I hope it’s better than rear as I’m in full exotics.

Just a rare with a unique skin.

Honestly none of this should be a surprise, guild wars has never really been a loot-centric game, 1 or 2. It’s more about looks, I guess.

I guessed as much. But I was hoping it would be exotic as I like the skin I have now and I don’t want to change it lol.

That isn’t true. GW 2 is most certainly a loot centric game now.

I’m not finishing my story until an actual, significant reward is given. Why should I go to work if I’ll receive $2.00 per hour? That’s how I see the end reward loot, a waste of my time. Not enjoyable once so ever.

[SPOILER ALERT]
I’m going to post here although the reward was not the only thing i was frustrated about when i completed my PS last night.

The loot is total BS i give you that and so will everyone who ever did bother to get his PS done, but that’s not the big issue for me.

Killing Zhaitan.
I was really looking forward to that…I wanted to get him abort the ship and tear him a new one(after all this quests who wouldn’t right?).
What did happen though?
You get on few guns and you and your friends go "omg lazer pew pew pew pew " till he dies.
I hope more people express their concerns regarding this so when GW folks start making Expansions or release more content they consider the voice of the people.

Yes killing Zhaitan with guns instead of your characters own strength completely ruined the fight.

Our characters should be stronger than some random guns on a single air ship.
