Category:Guild Wars suggestions

Hello, I don't really know how to really post - let alone format suggestions so I'll let this first time of mine be dedicated to the Guild Wars suggestion page.

Challenge Missions
Observation/suggestions I don't have many qualms with Guild Wars but the one thing that I've felt was severely undermined is challenge missions. The Guild Wars community neglects them and floods areas like Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood, and the like because they are more advantagous overall. Granted the PvP challenge missions (Zaishen Challenge and Zaishen Elite) are not but that's because it's the only ones for PvP. In PvE's case, there's a multitude.

In the case of all challenge missions, they feel (to me at least) that they are relatively do-able with a good team, this makes it a bit more attractive but the problem is each challenge mission has a means to an end. Once you've collected your Nightfall armor people usually never go back and the very same in EotN with the cloth of brotherhood.

The ones that are undermined the most out of all the challenge missions are the factions Kurzick/Luxon missions. Not only do they have any incentive to play such as armor (in the case of Nightfall or EotN) but they also don't have any drops to speak of. Therre's almost no protfit to speak of, aside from the faction you gain, which at best is very little, seing as you can do Alliance Battles or Jade Quarry and triple the amount you get per minute.

My suggestion is to give challenge missions more of an appeal. However the Guild Wars team wishes to do this is up to them. In my mind having drops in the challenges that are devoid of them, or increasing/including different rewards would be enough. Adding balthazar points for kills, or increasing existing rewards would probably be enough to bring people back. With more people going into challenge missions less will flood the already overcrowded areas for farming/reputation farming and we can finally see some stability as far as balancing out Guild Wars' gameplay.

I hope you'll take this suggestion into consideration :).
