Receiving items/weapons through questing rather then waiting for the item drop

Something different then farming the same area 500 times to get a wepon.

Not for EVERY QUEST but just the challenging ones, that take a long time to complete.

Has anyone noticed how receiving nice skins for weapons is mainly based off drop rate, so we all find ourselves completing a certain farming spot or mission waiting for that drop.

Does anyone remember how in prophecies some of the first quests which you did gave you weapons?

I think that this approach should be reviewed and revisited by Anet.
The drop system is well established now, Weapons and items drop according to luck.
I Like this system but do think it limits itself and makes people a touch bored.

GOOD EXAMPLE
For completing factions we received a nice green, which was nice seeing that it was not based off drop. Could you imagine how annoying it would be if shiro droped items and people had to keep retrying untill they got the item they wanted or others missed out?

I’m not mouthing off drops just wanting other ways in which to obtain items and weapon skins. It might also influence others to see a point to questing as it runs quite dry, you do a quest receive some gold and exp and that’s basically as far as it goes.

BAD EXAMPLE
I enjoyed completing some of the harder quests like titan source but found that the rewards for quests at this stage were a joke. Okay so 50,000 exp is a big deal but I’m already at level 20 so it’s not much of a reward unless I need the skill points. What about an exclusive weapon just for completing the series of epic quests nothing that has different stats just a nice skin exclusive for that quest and hard work.

I could think of some names, Glints bow, titan sword and so forth.

In conclusion make items/weapons available through other methods such as questing rather then keeping it all drop reliant,which would be based off the difficulty and such of the quests done of course.

though I do agree with you on some of the things[like the rewards on the titan quests], this would probably cause a over flow in the market, as if there isn't always one, I've seen some people making characters just to get up to the end of factions for the amulet and start over to build up several of these. People would logically do the same for the quests

A-Net cant hold your hand throughout the whole game, not bashing your post but if they gave items for winning everything itd be like a mother breast feeding her child till he was 13. Them giving us a perfect green at the end of factions was great but at the end of every quest is a bit much. I know you mean the bigger things like killing glint or the titan quests but I feel they need greens that need to be earned on a harder scale. Like a green for clearing FoW or UW and completing all the quests in them, something that is more of a challenge. Of course you only get one green per win per character as in killing Shiro.

If people could be botherd to actually go through propercies right up to the last titan mission, but rember propercies is alot longer then factions expecially if you include the titan missions.

So basically the ycould just spend the time farming a specific area and pull in a nice green or gold worth just as much in less time.

Oh and to MMS DOME I never stated that anet should hand you a nice wepon to every quest completion, didnt mean that anyway. Ill edit thread..
