The BotFW event is the most beautiful location Anet has made so far imo. Now there are 16 achievements required to get a Quartz Node…A QUARTZ NODE?!?. Really?! One of the achievements required to collect 40 sky crystals … Which is time consuming plus the requirement for jumping puzzles to get hidden kites. BotFW is a very wide spread and quite time consuming event and to get a node which gives you 3 quartz a day is just pathetic imo. Moving on to the Zaphyr sanctum model..well that is self explanatory. A 240 p resolution..probably lower..which most people just dont want to view it because its just a vista in 240p. What was Anet thinking? Whoever came up with these rewards surely made a big mistake..and i know that not every living story is meant to be amazing..thats the whole point of Living stories .. Its random..but the decision for the rewards which required quite a lot of effort was but a poor decision on Anets behalf. At least make the resolution HD? Sorry for the rant..i felt it was necessary. XD

So, you are one of those people that do stuff for the rewards rather than the actual content?
Why assume they are building the game around people like that?

Personally I don’t really care much about the reward but rather do stuff for the story and in order to get involved in the world.

It is possible for some people to pursue both of the listed objectives here. It’s not an either or choice and if it was, I would not be playing this game.

We go out in the world and take our chances

That’s the way that lady luck dances

Well, even if you don’t care, game designers are acutely aware of reward in gaming and focus a great deal of attention there. Why? Because humans are wired for reward and game developers want to engage the player in a meaningful way. In gaming, there are intrinsic rewards in the gameplay itself and extrinsic rewards (loot). Both are essential in making a successful game (in this genre) with human beings as a target audience. To suggest that reward, intrinsic or extrinsic, is unimportant, would be to misunderstand the significance of reward in gaming.
