Guild Wars 2

Why not just make it so that each of the 5 paths in a dungeon gives a one-time reward at completion equal to 1/5th of the token costs of the full armor set? Add in making the dungeons more difficult, and it would be challenging and NOT a grind to get dungeon armor, and you’d never have to repeat content. This would also allow characters to get a little bit of gear on the easier paths to prepare them to finish the harder paths.

Toffy.5807:

Grow some balls, and actually play this game. Try some different paths instead, you might like the rewarding feeling it gives when you complete an actual challenging dungeon.

Fun and challenging dungeons are great – bring them on – but if you’re going to make them THAT challenging, don’t require me to run them over and over and over, without change, nearly a hundred times, in order to get the rewards.

Quote from patch notes:

“Added a system to limit the experience and gold that players can receive from speed-farming dungeons.”

…the token system that you have designed REQUIRES players to speed-farm dungeons in order to get the armor/weapon rewards, so why are you punishing that? If you don’t want people to speed-farm a dungeon, don’t design it so that they need to run it literally 80 times in order to realize the token rewards for it.

I really don’t understand this. First you designed the rewards for these dungeons (buying things with tokens) to only be achievable after running the dungeon 50+ times (a terrible way to do it), and now you’re making it so people aren’t even well rewarded for the time they put into it?

At least before I felt like I was making some gold as a way to justify putting up with grinding the same dungeon over and over and over again to get the armor rewards, but now I’m actually LOSING money on each run because the repair costs alone completely swamp the rewards the dungeon provides.

Looks like I’ll be playing Borderlands 2 sooner than I thought.
