Playing this game I have noticed one major flaw and that is the fact of how many people do not do Veteran Dungeons. Other than people grinding for Undaunted Helms and Keys, there really is no point unless you are one of the unlucky few trying to get those Veteran Dungeon Sets that have an ungodly horrible drop rate. I have done more Vet Dungeons than most people in this game, I am upwards of probably 500+ cleared and at the rate I get those set drops, I need to do about 1000+ more to actually complete the sets I need.
It would be really awesome to see two simple changes to Veteran Dungeons to get more people to do them and to fix how the loot is dropped.
1. Every other game I have played, rewards the player with an XP bonus at the end of a dungeon or instance. A little reward for completing the dungeon. The mobs inside the dungeon give XP sure, but per run, at most; a person will get 20-30k XP. Either make the dungeon quests daily quests we can do each quest once a day per dungeon or give players a "Completion reward" valued at what a quest would be around 12-13k XP. This would help get more people into doing dungeons and give players another way to level besides questing or grinding.
To the issue of the loot and dungeon set drops.
2. Each instance has three MAIN bosses and usually 3 MINI bosses. The Vet Dungeon sets only drop off of the three MAIN dungeon bosses. The basic loot table for these bosses should be:
A. Boss named purples
B. 3 Vet Dungeon sets of 7 pieces each
C. 4 Vet Weapon Sets of 3 pieces each
That would be anywhere from 35-38 pieces of gear that potentially could be dropped from one of three bosses in an instance.
However, the real number of items that could be dropped off of the three main bosses is far, far plentiful. Each main boss also drops whites, greens and blues of all armor and weapon types of all trait types except Nirn. This further deludes the loot table to the point of horrendous proportions. This pushes the loot table from 35-38 to 250+. ZOS is all about the RNG system and for that reason and that reason alone, I think the main dungeon bosses should only drop EPIC level loot or at least the END BOSSES only drop EPIC level loot.

Since I see you guys post on a lot of what I post, can you please pass this along to whoever is over these topics. I am not the only player that feels this way either, I know at least 200 people that have the same feelings towards Veteran Dungeons as I do. Any response would be appreciated.
