I hope that they make the raids hard, and with good rewards, and no RNG box Kitten
The safe money is that there will be a chest, and random stuff from the chest, with the dungeon unique items being on the lower end of the drop rate.
…Thats the way loot in loot games work. It is really amazing though how those BLTP chests have made everyone jump on the RNG hate wagon. Despite the fact it has always been and will always be a core game mechanic.
Borderlands, Torchlight, The Witcher, Diablo, Every MMO Ever, Destiny, The Division…on and on and on. The game you came from probably had RNG loot, the game you will move on to eventually will have RNG loot, the game you are playing on the side probably has RNG loot. Overcome an obstacle, kill a boss, interact with something shiny and hope you get something cool.
From some of your comments, it as if you think Anet invented this mechanic and it offends all of your delicate sensibilities.
I know that Anet didnt create the RNG or the RNG boxes, but this is the first B2p game that i am playing and i have to say that i dont like the RNG in the cash shop.
Now RNG in-game, that happend in every games its true, but in others MMO when i kill a boss i get a “Exotic or a rare” even if is not the one that i want, here i get a Green and a blue and sometimes a rare and once a year a exotic.
What im trying to say is that even if the loot is not what you want (item x Rare/Exotic) because is RNG you still get (item z ) that are the same Quality item(Rare/exotic), this in others MMo(the MMO that i played) but in gw2 if you kill a boss in a dungeon or in fractals you can get a exotic but you normaly get blues and greens and even whites, and thats a poor Reward system.
I understand that with the Gold to gem feature you have to “control” or “Restrict” the good loot but cmon, gives something good not only Blues and greens.
This new instance have a better reward system, you get a bag of coins with 1g and a 100% chance of getting a rare i think and still the rest of the loot from the chests, that great.
However for that reward system work they need to Nerf Cof gold per run, or Revamp Cof to take more time otherwise ppl will do cof because it gives more money per Hour.
