Guild Wars 2

Hiya.

I keep getting items I can’t use, when for instance completing
an “area” or “zone” like Kessex Hills. The ensuing reward in this
instance, contained a pair of leggings which my profession can’t use.
What’s the point in this? I don’t understand.

The same thing happens when I get to unlock a big chest after a Boss
event. Most of the items are things I can’t use. Rifles, Bows, Light/Medium
armor and so forth. Why? It just seems odd to me, that that would go for a
reward.

So the trading post doesn’t die and you have gear you can salvage. if everything you looted could be worn by you, there’d be no need to do multiple runs to find the stuff you need, and that would lessen the “content” of the game, and decrease the amount of stuff being sold on the trading post.

That’s the only reason I have managed to come up with

Mm. Alright.
I just think it’s strange… Because for example I just completed
a zone and all 3 items I got were things I could neither wear nor
use. Just feels odd for a reward, if you know what I mean?

I always have gear to salvage, pretty much. I’m not a big user of the
trading post I’ll admit. But really, I’m not asking for everything to be useable
by me ^^. Haha. It’s just … You get slightly tired of being faced with rifles, daggers
and medium armor after doing things.

OP is right tho. Chests I can understand not getting usable gear all the time. But if I just spent a few hours completing an entire zone the game shouldn’t just RNG me some random stuff. I SHOULD get ONLY items my class can use. This is what deterred me from completing zones fully until I was 80 and had the gear I wanted already. It became especially noticeable for the 60+ lvl zones when you see say some exotic legs for a prize but they’re light armor…

TL;DR : Game hits you with RNG every opportunity it can.

When my Thief hit 80, Malchor’s Leap was the first Orr zone I 100%ed. I ended up with two Masterworks that were the exact upgrades I needed (being a fresh 80 still in 77 blues), and 40 Orichalum.

It was the best reward chest ever.
