or maybe we're all used to HM?
yes, i agree, the loot is all scaled down a bit, because this is an entirely level 20 campaign...so level 20s don't drop max equipment in it, level 28s do.
as for dungeon chests dropping crap...you know it's random right? just like farming anything else is random, as well as finding that elemental sword. just give it time, you'll get something good eventually from dungeons, or at least the 10 onyx you need for a destroyer wep

i for one got a req 9 colossal scimitar from a dungeon chest, and even though that's like 4 months late, i can't complain

speaking of dungeons, i personally find them very fun, it's all a matter of opinion.

oh, mordakai...you're saying greens/collector items can easily replace golds...
so that means you would argue that 1k armor easily replaces 15k armor. why do people buy ferraris? why wouldn't a reliable toyota easily replace it? it's all in the prestige, and good items DO drop in gwen, just a bit rarer due to the fact that you can get just about every skin in the game from gwen.

I know the feeling. I've gotten lots of gold drops, but the majority of them have had the Measure for Measure inscription. What's up with that? Those are the worst, because I never know whether to replace the mod or salvage the item, as it's a gold so it could give me lots of goodies. I'd like to get the Kind of a Big Deal title, but I still agree with you on the fact that this probably won't keep me all that interested until Guild Wars 2 comes out. I've been looking forward to that more than this expansion to be honest. I may just return to working on my characters that need through Factions and Nightfall for a while. All I have left on GWEN pretty much are master's quests and dungeons that I can't do for the life of me.

Dunno... in normal mode, I get better random drops in Factions and Nightfall than I do from GW:EN. I keep hoping it's some sort of issue they're working on but haven't addressed. Apparently destroyer cores were dropping at much lower rates than they meant them to, so maybe the godawful half-powered q5 flatbows with like 12% crippling are some sort of error as well.

I've played at least a couple hours every day since GW:EN went live, and I've been marching right on through the story. I've cleared dungeons, killed a crapload of bosses and high-level beasties, but I have yet to get anything better than grape. Bad luck definitely plays a part since greens and golds are obviously dropping, but this is getting pathetic. If I'd been using lockpicks, I'd be really pissed. XD

Maybe its just bad luck or something, I got like 3 golds in on a run to darkrime delves, with all henchies/heroes, not including the actual dungeon (I did have to rezone an area once because i went the wrong direction, but thats about it)

Then again maybe i was just extremely lucky. That and I got 1 gold, 1 purple, and a diamond at the end of the dungeon.
