Guild Wars 2

So, since Arenanet has decided to target ‘speed runners’ with their Diminishing Returns system I thought I’d share some data of how my guild group of Arah runs has gone after the new awesome dungeon patch.

Path 1 – Jotun
Duration : 5 hours 50min total, had to replace 1 member midpoint on Giganticus.
Tokens Rewarded:

Tourniquet: 30
Dunk Tank : 45
Memo : 60 *was replacement came in mid-run
PUG1 : 60
PUG2 : 60

Path 2 – Mursaat
Duration : 2 hours
Tokens Rewarded:

Hooze : 60
Nipin : 60
Duckfloat : 60
Memo : 45
Dunk Tank : 45

Path 3 – Forgotten
Duration : 4 hours
Tokens Rewarded:

Memo : 45
Dunk Tank : 45
PUG1 : 30
PUG2 : 60
PUG3 : 60

What I don’t understand is why random people get less than others and why some are totally unaffected by the DR system. Keep in mind in all these parties all members had never done Arah explorable before, just story mode. In another example our guild group sat down for three hours and did the three AC paths all in one sitting starting with story mode and working down the path. Storymode gives no tokens so that means 60 from each path or 180 total tokens. Two out of our five party members got the full 180, the rest got random numbers. Pretty sure it went 180 180 135 75 21 . I just don’t understand arenanet. Explain?

Well, I just don’t want to get “bent over” while everyone else gets full rewards and get left behind only getting twenty-one tokens for a full AC clear and having never been in there before was a huge slap in the face. I’d just like some sort of customer service that makes me feel that if they screw up they will do me right. Instead of like it was with another game under the same company Tabula Rasa that lifetime membership really worked well for me.

Is there going to be any sort of reimbursement for the tokens we have missed out on via the flawed system? I ask because I love running dungeons and its a let down every time when I get a sliver of the reward I should be entitled. I put a ticket in after each run hoping maybe I’ll get my correct rewards. I enjoy this game. I love this game. But, it seems like with each patch more and more of it is breaking. I just hope this isn’t a trend. And is there a post on the DR system and clarified rewards because I have yet to find it.
