Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure where to pose this question but there seems to be a lot of in-game, official and out of game chatter that possibly the drop rates for items are bugged.

- No loot dropping from champ/vets
- No loot dropping in the Pavillion
- Loot that does drop is of questionable quality for effort
- Loot boxes only providing the same items over and over

Other threads that report this behavior:

Would it be possible to get confirmation if there is a bugged condition impacting loot drop in the Festival events or if this is by design?

Honestly I’d say the loot is fine, people just make the Pavillion event take way longer than it should. Everyone wants to stack on one commander, and that takes half an hour to kill everything because it scales up. If they split up into small groups, the bosses die very quickly.

Thanks. I only have about 60 to 90 mins of playtime a day, so I wasn’t able to do more than a few events. Just following the general chatter, I figured asking if there was a confirmed issue or if it was confirmed OK would be better than wondering.

Appreciate the input though!

The bosses in the pavilion no longer drop loot; the reward is for completing the event to kill all six. The respawning mobs still drop loot, but not nearly as much as before. You will want to party up.

I remember last time the Pavillion event was available last year, I was going there for the gold/loot, now is just a waste of time. This is what this game has become with all this nerfed loot and all the bugs and unbalance, a waste of time. And ofc was intended, not a bug.
