Lumikki.1725 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 As newbie, just get someting worth of little bit money. They never dropped me anyting good. I do collect materials, but all enemies drop someting, not just some world bosses. Fun only last a few times, then it's just doing it because it's there and notting else to do at the moment. Maybe because everyone else is doing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspirine.6852 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 For skins perhaps? I have never seen a special drop nor did I ever see anyone in the map get it. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taril.8619 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I'll go with option 5) Because I can.That's really it for me. If I happen to be in a zone where a world boss is up (And I'm not busy doing something else like using a booster), or if it's part of a daily, or if it's for a collection I'm working on. I'll do it.I'm not going to specifically aim for WB's otherwise. Just use them as something different to do.Since, I know I'm just going to get some trash loot from them. Which, if I wanted a bunch of trash loot, I'd actually bother taking all my characters for an Icebound Chest run in Bitterfrost Frontier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatihso.7258 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 It's like I don't know what left to do, randomly open up my inventory see the world boss device and right let's do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Don't as much. I think because there is no real challenge in it and there is not that much of interest in rewards. I think to make them more interesting they would need to drastically cut the map caps for populations and bring the player count in line with AI's challenge and make the loot of more interest that players would be welcoming of the increased challenge. Now I have seen plenty of the older arguments about other players on map eating into the map population but that could either be handled via instanced boss fights or other calculations or map calculations/mechanics. That said WB were fun in the past but are less so now when you can't even see due to the visual noise of players stack on each other triggering strobe affects every half second.

Witch of Doom.5739 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 For fun, for achievements, because it might be a daily. The rewards are mostly junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahou.3924 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 None of the reasons. The only time I actually had done a world boss (not counting map meta events like Auric Basin) was when I happened to be in the zone leveling and had decided to join in. But I haven't touched most of them to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBullWings.2734 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 it's fun. and the reward to fun ratio is pretty alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails.9372 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Either because the meta is rewarding or I need them for a collection. Sadly the WBs I would consider "fun" are not rewarding so there is no real reason for me to do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickedkae.4980 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I play for fun. Now imagine if anet let us earn legendary armor while having fun...No, we can't have that. Legendary armor is only for raiders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbru.6014 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Reason not mentioned in the poll: for training. The world bosses are good targets for testing new builds and practicing rotations under fire, because individual players can be less than perfect and the event usually will still succeed by sheer numbers. Other forms of group PVE are much less forgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaoda.1653 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I chose 'for fun', simply because, for me at least, there's no real incentive for these world bosses.You get a few blues, greens, and a couple rares that aren't really worth anything special, maybe an exotic if you're truly lucky, and for the majority of the player base, you'll be waiting your whole lifetime for that super rare 10,000+ gold value item/drop from the chak boss (and other bosses that can drop valuable items worth 10,000 gold or more). The chances are pathetic. 1 in a million basically. The chances are truly abysmal, if you ask me. Not worth it at all.So that's why I chose 'for fun', because PvE bosses just aren't worth the time. Maybe if PvE bosses had a chance, or had a system in place, of dropping unique skins (like the animated Voltaic Spear, Bone Dragon Staff, etc.) like the dungeon bosses did in GW1, would we see a great revival in PvE boss kills. It would make bosses great again, and that's what we need. Until then, to me, the PvE bosses are just killed for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter.4796 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I voted ‘for fun’, the first month I did tequatl daily. Nowadays I barely do them, rather do fractals, more fun. Couldn’t give a shit about loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos.2503 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Well, rewards are Definitely not the reason why I participate, I just like big big fights. The more threatening, the better. This applies to non World bosses metas as well.If there's some proper action going on, I want in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyncale.1629 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 To feel that I am playing this game with others. It is probably the only social activity I do in this game and that suits me just fine. Same reason I do Bounties sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynder.2509 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Because there's nothing else to do in the game when you speedcleared all raid wings every week at reset and waiting for the next big content update that you can play through in less than a hour to 2 hours (including all achievements and yes story metas as well) takes too long. ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because even the biggest and best companies are limited in how fast they can make new content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulvar.1239 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 For Fun. I just wish some be updated.Taidha Covington gate has too much health.Karka Queen is not enough a threat.Tequatl should stand up automatically after dropping to 65%, 40%, and 15% HP, while the first 25% HP are made quicker (make it lose 10% HP from a starting canon shot).

Am I missing something here or?Edit: I forgot to include the option for Achievements & Legendary Gear Either way, thanks for all the feedback guys! Gives me some good insight :)Not sure why people do. You need another option like, I dont do them cause they are boring scripted content with crappy rewards compared to allot of other content.I would love to see the poll results but I dont have a valid thing to choose so I can see =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
