Guild Wars 2

Funny thing is that in GW1 they had “LF X, needs to be norn rank 8 or higher” or “LF max lightbringer rank” and then they add to make the differences between ranks smaller.

One would think they would learn with the real world but i guess their manuals of gaming design theory were all made by the same silly person.

Stats or bonus for the new dungeon alone (similar to lightbringer rank) with no impact outside it, are fine.
A new tier of armor that makes older content easier isn’t.
