Default Improve the Reward for NM Titan Quests

I think we should get some golds or zaishen coins just like the HM one rather than just XP. Those quests could be hard if without any heroes, if you are not prophecies characters you have to run all the back to Eastern Frontier.

Aaand how would this affect all those who already did the nm quests?
Yes they were/are hard depending on what you have to work with. But they are oldschool quests, that was more for the lore and the challenge than the reward. Sure the reward aint cool or much of a motivater, but they were fun to do those quests, which matters more than the reward.
I sorta understand why you want this, but I still think they should stay the way they are.

Like the Razah one, if you finished it before you can get the reward from Glint's vision.

What's the reward going to affect the lore challenge?

Why I like the reward as is; it does not need to be gold weapons/5k,10k gold or Z-stuff as the titans have a HM version of it don't you think the reward is better for the HM1 leave the NM version alone.

There was a point in time when people did quests simply to group with other human players and enjoy something really challenging. Rewards have become so bloated particularly during the transition to Live Teams it's comical and the game doesn't need any more of that. /notsigned

If you don't like the reward, simply don't turn it in or throw the reward away after. It's not going to affecting anything.

Just like Anet added green after you beat Prophecies, I think the difficulty and time of the titan quest deserve some reward other than XP.

So what? If you don't want it, throw it away after, it's not gonna affect you.

HM is already exceptionally generous. If you are too lazy or too horrible at this game to complete those for their massive rewards (the rough equivalent of 100k total) then maybe you shouldn't be doing the Titan Quests to begin with. It's not gonna affect you...right?

At the time i did those, i used H/H and it was fairly easy. I still remember going WOW!! when i collected the reward.

They already give you 4x20k XP + 1x50k XP.

Thats pretty awsome for some NM stuff

Improve the reward...

Anything that contains those three words should be an immediate no sign. Period.

Better idea: why don't we improve rewards for all NM content? Why should I do Minister Cho's Estate when I get nothing worthwhile out of it? What incentive is there? Anet should really add unique skin weapons for every profession for each mission in the game as a reward for players who take the time to play them.

So why couldn't NM have some reward? XP is useless unless you are trying to get some special titles.

I did that with all my characters, why would you think about only horrible/lazy people want improved reward? Just like Prophecies got its own green reward added, it does not mean people won't do it, it's just making things fair. You get reasonable reward after beat those 5 quests, what's wrong? WoC got 500-2k plus other stuff for reward each quest.

Minister Cho's Estate is the first, easiest mission of Factions, not the 5 quests with top level monsters after you finish Prophecies and you have to walk for a long while if you are not prophecies character.

Plus, you will receive money after you finish it.

What about the Razah one, I mean I completed the original quest to get Razah but stopped playing for a couple years not long after that.

I know they changed it now, but do you mean I can actually get something back for doing the original quest?

Thanks.

Usually you will get a lot a lot of skill points after play for a while.

There used to require you to turn in 4 gemstones(1 for each type) to get into Heart of Abaddon, after the update, you can get those gemstones back if you turned in before.

like from the XP you already can get from the NM titan quest?

Would a stack of ectos as reward for every NM quest satisfy you?

Usually you will have enough(with hero skill points, you can also unlock hero skills by spending Bal faction) unless you are working on the title.

Why people still use extreme examples? I never said we need some super good reward. Just some gold (Like 500g-1k) maybe with a few zaishen coins. Not to say WoC, even some EotN quests gave you 1k.

It's not going to affect you if your goal is really about get some challenge and fun or team with people, if you don't want it simply throw the reward away, like nobody force you to get the green weapon after you beat each campaign for the first time.

Point one: to make why would you want them to offer Zaishen coins Just why that then would make a nice challenge and rather fun quest a farm SO NO to that one.

Point two: I understand what your saying about why should we take an end campaign reward IE the green weapon; well for me its like a way of thinking oh the people who we saved are grateful and are offering us this reward.
Its not like taking a quest from glint beating a few titans up and oh SHOULD I get a 1silver Z-coin and 1k for doing it NO! you have just been award a ton of exp and had the pleasure of doing said quest. Because it was us who helped to release the titans in the 1st place.....

What makes me wonder is why are we still discussing this when the simple answer from nearly all the GW players will be a dumb founding NO!

If you're planning on doing protector, guardian, vanquisher and/or cartographer titles, your non-prophecies characters are going to be heading there anyway....and besides, what happened to the idea of doing quests for fun? Why does every quest have to reward you with tons of shinies?
