Just that the chance of an immediate reward is more promising than a guaranteed eventual reward for most people.<br /><br />Particularly if you want the gear solely to get gear rather than seeing it as a tool.Balkothhttp://despotism.enjin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-26789842665146936892012-03-29T15:53:03.303-04:002012-03-29T15:53:03.303-04:00I would like to see more factions that take work t...I would like to see more factions that take work to get up like they used to. I was so sad going through the old world on a new character this expansion and seeing they give thorium rep away like it is going out of style.

Wish I had a link that I read some years back about success in video games that point out both that, and my idea, as two way to keep people coming back.<br /><br />While most people are perfectly fine with RNG I am different from most.
