Mallyx Killed: Bad Truth Behind DoA Revealed

Look, I am not happy with the return I feel this is for the amount of work that has to be done, but also I feel everyone is overreacting.
One thing ANET has shown.....they do listen to the players, at times. For evidence: people complained about the DoA already, they listened and they have it some already. Who says they are done with it?
Much of the complaining I have heard has been a bit much, there was never anything that required an elite area be added, I consider it as a nice bonus and everything something new to aspire to.
That said, I still think we need to see some changes.
First off, as has been said repeatedly, remove the Gem requirement for getting Razah. The reasons have mentioned over and over on this one, and I think it needs to be done.
Secondly, an increased reward would be nice for this quest, but there is nothing that says it has to be huge like an Armbrace. Even something like having the chest drop the greens and five of each type of gem would make a lot of people much happier.
Do these and I feel you will make many people happier. Not everyone, there is no way to ever make everybody happy, but these changes would satisfy many I believe.
If you are unhappy, you can be a little vocal about it, ANET will notice, and perhaps they will make improvements. However…vocal doesn’t necessarily mean whining…

Posted that quote from the description earlier in the thread. Rewards are secondary to my concern of "an amazing mission".

What is so amazing about beating swarms of mobs, then fighting one guy? Is that really the Elite Mission?

Or is the entire Mallyx quest considered the mission?

When you enter the Gate of Anguish it says Elite Mission area or something like that. At no point doing the quests are there active rez shrines, sounds like a mission to me.

As for skins , I have a bladed recurve that looks much better. As for DoA I will get at least 1 char through just to say I have, after that who knows.

As for the greens - guess we won't be seeing 100k + 100+ ecto prices, which may be what Anet was after.

Mmmm, well in that case I suppose Titan Gems which initially sold for 100k+100 ecto a piece, which you needed 25 of, which was 1/4 of the total price for an Ambrace of Truth was a mistake?

I don't mean to flame but I am severly disappointed with Anet on the rewards for DoA and Mallyx. I mean, rehashing old skins that weren't even popular in the first place for the most difficult boss in the game is an insult to the playerbase.

My first true disappointment with GW, and as I said in another thread, that's saying something.

Id say its worth it. doing this gets you closer to the torment weapons (gems for quest completion), and we haven't seen EVERY reward weapon. it sounds like it could be a random drop for every character, and if this is true, it makes sense that one or two will be uniquely skinned. think about it, look at the deep and warren, only one of the three weapons were unique, maybe one or two of the weapons here are unique.

o, and this seems like a mission to me, as it is all interconnected, and it IS possible to clear all four and kill Mallyx in one sitting. i think this is what it was like originally, with a 12 person team, however a-net realized HOW HARD and TIME CONSUMING this would be, and instead of making us do this, split it up into 4 zones. in order to make it still seem difficult, but make it not require 24 hours straight, they reduced the teams to 8.

i think every one of these areas would be to easy with 12 people. hell, i have done 3 out of four of em with 6. (But i still can't beat the damn foundry . o well, give me a week :P)

great, now i dont see anymore point in completing those pain in the ass quests.

gg anet

Sorry to say, but I'm going to close this thread. All it is is flames and bashing ANet. Yes, I understand you're all mad about this situation. But flaming and bashing won't get you far.
