Guild Wars 2

So i realize this game was marketed to not be a gear grind, but lets face it, it is. The only difference is that it is a grind for appearance rather than stats. I don’t consider myself a hardcore player, and as such, i find it pretty silly that after only several weeks of being level 80, the only upgrades i have left in the game are cosmetic and a couple of rings from Fractals. I think there should really be something more to strive for stat-wise, even if it’s only marginally better. Here are my 2 suggestions:

1) Dungeon Master Armor and Weapons
Have a set of armor and weapons that are only like 5% better than current exotics with a cool new skin, but each piece of armor/weapon costs lets say 250 tokens from every dungeon in the game. It would be pretty serious to get a full set of it, and would only give you a marginal advantage over others. Hell, even make it unusable in pvp if need be.

2) Dungeon Drop Armor and Weapons
Have a set of armor for each dungeon that uses the same skin as that dungeons current armor set. Have it so that it is a random small chance to drop off any trash mob in said dungeon (also fixing the issue of people skipping trash mobs) and make it 5% better than the token purchase set. It would also be quite hard to get as the drop rate is low, is soulbound or account bound and could be of any of the 3 stat sets available for that dungeon.

Anyhow, I don’t know how the community feels about this, but i know for me personally, it would prevent me from the inevitable quitting of this game cause i feel there isn’t any reward left for me other than aesthetically.

Thanks for reading!
