Adenin.5973 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Because the bounties are needed for achievements. And the PoF events are even less rewarding than bounties. There's literally no reason right now to do PoF events other than for achievements or because you really really like the desert and you don't need any more gold/stuff in the game.

If you really want to kill tens of thousands of mobs for a small chance of getting a single 300-800g item, then go for it. Also, not everyone is an AP hunter or wants to do collections.People want gold, to craft legendary items, to get new ascended armor, to get new stats, to get Gems or buy whatever skins they want.Most people in this game farm gold, in fractals, SW, Tarir, Lab. These things are far more rewarding gold wise, than any content PoF has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndigoSundown.5419 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Because MMO's have for many years taught their fan base that the fun in the game is getting rewards, and ANet built most of the game around the idea that people would do what there was to do because it would be fun to do it.

TEKnowledgy.1760 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I do bit of everything and for no specific reason. So when you say people who exactly are your talking about?I see someone doing a bounty in the area I'm in I'll help that event be successful, then carry on doing w/e it was I'm doing. I'm not specifically chasing said bounty.I'd say other people do this as well.If an event is close to me I'll check it out, if it's an event I've checked out before and didn't enjoy the 1st time probably not gonna mess with it a 2nd time.I'm sure most people are that way aswell. In some peoples cases they all could be very well non-enjoyable. It's each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaltys.7649 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Well... I ignore events because nobody's doing them and there's no point in trying without a large enough group. I know that from past experience, have wasted too much time on those already for no rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it 2x yesterday back to back some how kept going in circles, kept ending up back at it haha.I took a 4hrs nap not long after that, think i was just sleepy with no sense of direction lol.

Dovienya.6597 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Specialization collections for ascended weapons, ascended back pieces (that have been updated to have PoF stats), funerary skins... in short: collections for PoF etc. require bounty completion.

MMO's took peoples' desire for reward and focused it on either virtual "growth" or virtual gewgaws as a means of keeping peoples' interest over the lengthy periods the MMO business model was based on.

I did it 2x yesterday back to back some how kept going in circles, kept ending up back at it haha.That one is actually one of the reasons why I'm no longer doing events. Spent a while on that, and when I was about to finish... it failed without any apparent reason, the ogre simply despawned. I assume that there's a hidden timer. By the way, it occurred to me that there's no PvE dailies for events in PoF, there's only daily bounties. Adding the former would ensure that there's plenty of players doing the events... at least occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
