The trivial change which would result in drastic quality of life improvement for existing players.

Make the last minor boss in a group dungeon drop a weapon instead of a small piece of armor.

Before someone posts an idea about a token system, or a transmutation system, or a trait changing system, or a binding-removal system, please remember that nothing with 'system' in the name is going to be a trivial change. This is something which shouldn't take more than a few seconds on ZOS's end.

Why? Weapons in group dungeons on rare -- very very rare. Other than named drops, which have a fixed trait, weapons only drop on the final boss and randomly/rarely from chests. They also don't always drop from the final boss as that boss also drops jewelry. On an average run of the dungeon a group of 4 will see 2 weapon drops. My proposal would increase that average number of weapon drops (for a group of 4) to 6, and even running the dungeon solo you'd always get at least 1 weapon drop per run.

I like it. Right now, the game is about to get harder with no increase in rewards. It is going to take longer and the overall combat will be less fun and less interesting.

At least improve the drops at the end. I think that making it easier to get existing content and sets is a good step in getting players to agree to put up with the new slower combat mechanics. Keep the amount of time in the dungeons the same by reducing the number of runs it takes to farm a set.

This is a good change and it makes sense. Lessen the RNG grind for crying out loud. How they can make all PvE content harder without addressing the terrible drop rates seems like a terrible oversight (shocking by Zos right?).

Guaranteed drops... hell no.. this game has been made too easy to baby people as is... it is about time it took some skill/effort to get desired results again.

Currently the game guarantees that the boss I mentioned drops a small piece of armor (boots, gloves, etc) of one of the dungeon sets. I am just stating that it should instead drop a random weapon of one of the dungeon sets.

Keep in mind that if you was running one of these dungeons solo looking for say -- a sharpened bow, you can expect to run the dungeon solo 400 times (100 times grouped) through the last boss to have a even change of finding it. Exactly how much 'effort' would be acceptable to you?

Like it or not, there is a separation between a PvP'er and a PvE'er. I absolutely hate PvE, and I hate that I have to do it at times for grinding out a dungeon over and over and over again. It makes the game less fun. I'm not set up for it (loads of impen) and I have no interest in spending any time getting set up for it because I hate it.
If the best PvE sets were locked behind PvP accomplishments, I'm sure the PvE crowd would hate that as well. As it is now, a few PvE players might have to level Alliance War lines and then they can be done with PvP forever, if they choose. A PvP player, however, has to go into PvE constantly whether we want to or not.

Grinding sucks, so just don't do it is the answer.

If yer that keen on one set cos its min max meta then you have to pay the price.
