The expense of the minority since most people are doing these loot chains and it’s a vocal minority complaining? You’re not going to please everyone, I thought it made sense for a gaming company to keep the majority of their gamers content – hence why when cof p1 indirectly got nerfed they gave people an alternative rather than just going “nope, you can’t have anything”.
It seems like ANet are just going to do a blunt nerf to champion loot by making it daily or making the loot flat out worse.
1. I don’t think that they’ll nerf all champ loot. They’ll probably do the same fix as they did with Lyssa though – make that part of the event not give any loot whatsoever.
2. It’s not about the minority on the forums, but about the way those players act. If a developer sees someone saying to a newbie that they won’t get the wp uncontested and that the newbie has to pay them 20G to get to the waypoint leading to a dungeon, the developer obviously thinks that the event is poisonous for the community. If there were less loudmouths swearing at everyone in the chat, there would be less fixes.
That’s great and all, but that ‘fix’ will just make people avoid that event and do the regular rotation, leaving it contested. It’s still a group event. Also, the 2nd point you made was 1 very specific situation, as I was there when it was said. It was said after you, “ruined” the farm for a lot of people. They were agitated by your actions and one of those people decided to say that to the guy who wanted to go to Arah. What you forgot to mention was someone, not 2 seconds later, volunteered to escort him to the Arah waypoint.
