Gold max and valuable items have to be rare or they wouldn't be exciting. Also, this is NM and as such abides by the same principles when regarding drops.
QFT. Drops are pointless without rarity.

It would be nice to actually get to use and enjoy the new skins. They certainly aren't worth buying with HM coming eventually, and the fact that there's no such thing as a better new weapon...

That is inexcusable IMO! There is no reason for a dungeon end chest to give away non-max items.

I don't normally rant about stuff in game, but the other night I had a gloom shield dropped from one of the boss chest, r9 in str as well. So far so good, right? Everyone went gg, gratz and all that, til we jump back to our hall and I ID the thing.

Get this, it came with fire magic +1 (17%) and no inscription slot. I kid you not, I got a screeny as well. Now top that for a bad drop.

Since you asked...
Might as well have dropped me a salvage kit, would've saved me 3 gold

I don't see anything wrong with that drop. It's max, it has an inscription slot.

Oh wait, I get it... It's not a Saurian Scythe.

Ok folks this is simple. I don't get the best items and I work for what have and want.I run cathedrals because the chest is fairly decent. I do too think it is rediculous that the lvl 20 content doesn't quite meet the requirements (as far as drops) but life sux and its just a game that is replayable so mo get over it. I say this because I have given up hope that Anet will do much if anything at all to change so I take what I can get .

Nobody is asking for everything to drop a max gold item. But for lvl 28 in a dungeon to constantly drop non max white items is pointless.

Let us get a couple max blue moddable, a few purple and maybe one gold/green from bosses at the end.

You would be hard pressed to find anyone that would choose 50 non max white drops over 5 max blue, 2 max purple and 1 gold/green for clearing a dungeon.

No, I'm saying that's a blue drop disguised as a gold...

I haven't yet had a non-max weapon from a chest.... which is as I expect it should be...

... And I haven't yet had a max weapon from a level 20 monster.... which once again is as it is meant to be.


You folks got exactly what you asked for, essentially.

With the drops in GW:EN, the actual motto is more like...

With geat challenge comes pathetic rewards

If you want better loot, go back to areas in previous campaigns. Until they fix the glaring risk vs. reward problems in GW:EN, I'm sticking to the previous campaigns. Since giving up on GW:EN and returning to the other campaigns, my friends and I have seen vastly better drops, and our overall plat per hour rate has vastly improved as well.

Actually, I think they also lied about the 'challenge' part.
Challenges in GWEN? Where?

Challenge is subjective. Give them time. GW:EN is tougher than the previous campaigns... so it is clearly a step in the direction you want.... even if the step isn't as big as you'd like.

That said, there are some folks around here who wouldn't consider ANYTHING a challenge, no matter how tough it is. I'd say it is just a matter of over-inflated e-p33n.
