Almost every week we have thread discussing the games difficulty level of overland content and the player base seems to be divided especially when it comes the overland topic. I have always been in favor of an optional choice like HM mode on quest bosses, vet mode at delves and puplic dungeons etc. but not an overall increase in difficulty. The players who are against this often argue the game already got plenty of content for competent end game players and to be honest I agree. The problem is that a lot of this content really lacks initiative. Even though you love doing vet DLC dungeons, random vet dungeons, kill dragons or take trip to imperial city the rewards are just lacking compared to the easy and casual content. Writs are the best way to earn gold and normal random dungeons is the way to go considering transmute crystal. Even if you want the coolest gear items in the game you have to go scrying. This means that it is quite hard to group up with other players for the challenging content because the find themselves busy fake tanking and rushing normal random dungeons. I think this is a shame considering how much cool content this game has to offer.

I don't want these options to change, it's nice that it's available to all kind of players, but I would really like to see alternative ways to earn gold, transmutes and maybe even mythic items. I think this would mean that a lot of players would use their playing time doing content they find interesting and fun instead of hours doing writs and rushing normal random dungeons. For me this would compensate for the lack of hard overland content because my time farming valuable currencies would be spent doing interesting stuff and questing could be the chill activity.

I want to point out some to suggestions I have to implement this and I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions from you as well.

First of all a limit on how much gold and transmutes you could earn a day through dailies would probably have to implemented to avoid inflation but it should just be similar to what is the absolute max at the moment through writs and random normal dungeons on 18 characters and so on.

Suggestions

- Increase the amount of transmute crystals you earn from random veteran dungeons. This would mean that normal random would not always be the obvious choice when it comes the farming transmutes.

- Make the reward from pledges an option between keys, gold or transmutes and increase the reward from each and further for the veteran mode. An alternative route to earn gold. Remember that there should be a daily cap on gold so players now just have to choose how they want to earn their currencies. You can do writs and just chill or you can play some dungeons if you feel for it. You can do it on normal mode on two characters or veteran mode on one character.

- Let the first overland boss and zone event you do each day drop some transmutes and extra gold.

- Let the first dragon you kill each day drop transmutes and extra gold

- Make tel var stones a currency that can be converted to gold, transmutes or alliance points. Making imperial city more attractive for all kinds of players. I would even suggest that the stuff that costs tel var stones just cost alliance points. The value of tel var stones would thereby be it's convertibility (hope that's a word) and valuable for all players.

- Let the first group event in puplic dungoen you do each day drop a few transmutes.

- This is probably the most controversial so I put it in the end because a lot of players might disagree especially on this one.
Make a group veteran option for puplic dungoens where the bosses have a really small chance to drop mythic items from the zone they are placed in or connected to. Increase the chance with
the difficulty of the bosses and let the hardest be damn hard. Lead farming and scrying would still be the easiest route but would give players an alternative. And the dungeons are already there
so I just think it would be a cool option but of course feel free to disagree
