I'm not talking about finding easter eggs or hidden little treasures - I'm talking about landscapes and entire zones that makes you stop and want to look around for awhile and take it all in. Finding hidden bosses is fine and dandy, but it's a matter of exploring areas and continents that are intriguing. Although I would like to find the bosses and other hidden items, this isn't what I'm talking about.
I'm currently playing WAR with 8 toons. I really like the game - although sometimes it's difficult to get enough people together to truly have fulfilling RvR Keep raids, but I like that game. Having said that, the one thing that this game really is missing for me is a sense of exploration and adventure. I have always enjoyed running around to new areas with areas to explore and get excited about. I'm in Tier 3 now and there just hasn't been any sense of exploration or adventure - it's all WAR. I know that's what the game is about, but I kind of wish they would have found a way to work some of that in somehow. Then this game would be complete for me. As it is - I'm still playing it and liking it, just missing that part of MMOs to a degree.

Their contribution system for the PQs is something similar. You don't have to really do anything to consistently WIN a PQ. The random rolls are anything but random. It's more of a way to balance out the loot which is stupid.
I love how the fanboys jump up and down and call me an idiot. Morons - I'm still playing the game and not some WoW spam retard. OK, so let me just say this - the rolls are NOT random. I know they are supposed to be, but don't take my word for it - put it to the test. Go jump into a PQ in stage 3 and do a little bit to contribute and watch your "random" roll suddenly push you up to the top. It's their way to try to even everything out. It happens every time. I can count on it. I win all the time and I lose every time. My whole guild laughs at it as well. I'm surprised anyone is even on here trying to defend this. It's something that needs to be fixed with the next patch. Please fix the PQs - they are fun, but not worth it to stick through to the end.
But, all the little kids on here will come to the rescue of the game and will never be able to admit where the game needs adjusting. Guys - I like the game, I just hate some things about it. Still playing it though.
So it seems that when a PQ is finished that the rolls at the end for the prize loot favor those who didn't win. What is starting to happen is that the winner doesn't get a prize bag, and if you stand outside and wait until part way through Stage 3 and then join, you can jump in and often WIN the top prize! This is the stupidest f***ing thing in the world. It doesn't reward those who worked hard in the PQ, rather it nerfs them in favor to make everything "balanced". It's the most retarded idea ever. For example, out of 8 PQs won, I have placed 2nd once, 3rd multiple times, and the rest I won nothing. I really hate PQs just for that reason. I don't bother with the loot from prizes, unless I can jump in at the end and win (have done that twice now). The roll system sucks and doesn't work right. Just do Public Quests for the influence rewards, the rest is completely nerfed by Mythic.
