Why is de rate to get a decent reward (CTA) so low?

I like this game but it must be done something about the rewards because it is causing a lot of anger. Not only to me but to everybody I talk about.
Take the actual CTA. I have been playing today for about 5 hours. And what did I get? a few dies and enchantments. I mean, come on guys! 5 hours just for that?? why are you being like that?? Increase the rate a bit guys. This is not fun at all. Don't forget that people play to have fun not to get angry. If people get angry they just go play somewhere else.

Me and me mates were the first one to que the CTA (the map dc us for its not been loaded yet, after 2nd retry it let us enter) and after 7 hours straight they got 1 or 2 and I got nothing. I want to play 24 hours just to get that companion but I cant be that selfish my friends needs some rest too! but I relinquish the thought of surrendering thus I continue for another 4 hours and still got nothing.
Day 2 and still got nothing. Day 3 I just DD all the way got some good epics and bought the darned pet! but its active bonus is crappy I sold it in the Merchant NPC out of sheer rage and frustration even so I still love this game!

Only?? you think 5 hours almost non-stop is nothing?? Maybe I should have mention that yesterday I played CTA 3 hours too, so it makes 8 hours in total! So yes, I do complain of this miserable rate! 3 hours yesterday and 5 today doing repeatedly the same thing just to get some worthless stuff is plain frustrating :mad:
Hours doing the same thing over and over is NOT FUN and if then you dont get some nice reward then you feel like throwing the computer out of the window. (I am not doing that, it's just too expensive,
The game is free-to-play. PW could have just as easily thrown all rewards on the Zen market and called it a day. Instead they created new content and rewards and offered it up for everybody to play for free.
I'm not sure some people will be completely happy until there is an "I WIN" button integrated in to the UI.
That's right. It keeps amazing me those who say: "hey, what do you complain about? it's FTP." As if that would imply that the gamers have to keep their mouth shut or quit the game.
I have done the CTA a couple of hours and I didnt get anything worth neither so I went to do something else.
I agree with the thread starter that this game has potential but the devs should rethink the rate of the rewards.
Only do CTA if there'r itens like tymora coins our pocket companion, if doen't, just ignore it. wast of time
Far fewer medallions too , I have run it 75 times now and no companion , it wouldn't be so bad if the number of enchantments and medallions hadn't been nerfed , for the love of god developers , please add a bound version of companions to the CTA store for those of us RNG seems to get off on hating xD
Also the number of people who try to afk the entire thing is getting silly , if I have lead I leave it till just before the dragon dies then kick them XD
Aelar Hawkwind - Archer
Karrin Feywinter - Mistress of Flame
Errin Duskwalker - Executioner
Darquess - Soulbinder
Will turn out to be multiplicative, of course, turning a 1% Chance into a 2% one.

So I'm with iambecks1, they shoud give us the option of buying bound version of the companion for medallions.
Call it Tinfoil - but keep in mind, the 'Refiner' cases, for 100 Medallions each, have a chance to drop items that, on the Wondrous Bazaar, cost 100k/25k AD. Then, add the recent TTBar Ward change......
People do not grind the same dungeon over and over again because it is fun.
They do it to progress through the game. Once it takes a week to progress the slightest bit in the game it becomes tedious.
Once it becomes tedious for "free to" players it becomes underpopulated and boring for Paying players.
I like this game and its free to play model, but if you have to grind the same stuff for two days to get one item on a limited time event
then it MAY have a low drop rate...pfft entitled.
As I already said: do NOT give them ideas..
I do. Each run is always a bit different and interesting. Sometime you get a good team. Others can be a real hassle depending on who you get. Unless you bring the same group every time, it's always going to be a new experience each time.
I did one the other night, as my DC. We ended up with two folks AFK. The GWF, who was doing amazing up to that point, took offence and bailed. We we were left with a dead GF that never bothered to release and rez, as group lead. A moderately geared DC who was AFK, off and on. A poorly geared fresh 60 CW, who stalwartly refused to give up. And myself, a heal spec'ed DC of questionable skill.
It took forever, it was both exciting and fustrating, but it was also fun. The CW and myself pretty much duo'ed the entire skirmish until the mystics spawned. At that point the other DC finally woke up and joined in. Allowing us to finally murder the big lizard over the GFs smoldering corpse.
Not a text book run, by any means, but nothing I'd consider boring. Mad props to that CW for refusing to give in despite being a lizard punching bag for most of the time. A good example of how determination and heart can be worth more then gear or skill.
AFAIK, the drops from the chest have nothing to do with how you ranked during the CTA run...

Some people like to believe taking top rank will give you better stuff, but I know I've been in groups where the lowest man in the 5 gets all the goodies, so it is basically random chance. Similar to opening a lock box. Drops are never ensured. They have a chance to drop and you may farm all 5 days for CTA and never see one if the RNG hates you. Now at least you can get the weapon skin for CTA tokens. It's my hope that one day all the rewards will be placed in the CTA token store. Granted it will likely be for a lot of tokens, but at least you will know how much to grind to get one if you really want it.
