The reward pools for most end chests are already flooded with what most people would consider "garbage" - maybe take some of the less desired items out of there and replace them with good value refinement items instead. While they're cleaning up the reward tables, maybe make it so you can never get anything worse than a T2 item from a T2 chest...
I agree with this, although the "most people" who think the end chests contain "garbage" are most likely to be those who are obsessive grinders and compulsive farmers and have been doing it since Open Beta. People relatively new to level 60 may not agree, whether the contents are BoP or not. I used to grind Dailies, Skirmish Events etc for the AD quite obsessively myself, and I only started with Module 2.
Cryptic have taken steps to stop that sort of Dungeon farming, as it was probably never intended to go through CN 1000 times and sell the gear for huge amounts of AD.
But I also think that NOTHING should be BoP - all BoP stuff should be BtA. That will stop obsessive farming as the Salvage Value will not be worth it if the dungeon itself is no longer fun, people will be less likely to force GREED runs on newer players as they won't be able to sell anything if it is all BtA, it will also stop BOTS farming the dungeons and at least if the items are BtA, we can send them to other characters that can use them.
I'd love to see better AI as well, and once you have spent 70 power Points after level 60, there should be a better table to determine drops. The need for RP must be almost exponential as you rise in level and acquire more artifact gear.
Treating opinions not your own derogatory is really proving your point...
I was not being derogatory, I was being tongue-in-cheek. And the facts prove my point. I was just surprised that you did not seem to know that all Dragonhoard drops will be BtA and so could NEVER appear on the Auction House. I am sorry you are so gossamer-skinned.
Just take the gauntlet from the Dread Ring as an example....
With the dragon's hoard enchantments, which are really quite affordable at the moment, the new system will reward active players. With dailies from Sharandar, Dread Ring and sometimes Dwarven Valley I made roughly 250 K RP in less than a week with a 7% chance for Refining Stones. And that is not counting the rank 4 enchantments I got anyways.
I agree the Gauntlets are rubbish. I have two characters with Adamantium Gauntlets and I got a WHITE PEARL on my last Dread Ring run.
The Dragon Hoard enchants are better as long as I am playing solo, but they rarely proc in certain areas.
But it has occurred to me that having a decent amount of RP in chests will just encourage GREED farmers to GREED Farm again.
And, as the GREEDERS are likely to be Over-geared, they will get most kills in group dungeons and so will get most of the Dragonhoard drops along the way.
So it will NOT encourage "group play and dungeon fun". It will promote GREED, selfishness and immaturity.
So I have changed my mind.
But at least if the chests had RP drops in them, even the under-geared players will have a chance of getting SOMETHING.
