What if JPs Dropped Champ Loot

Pros:
- Adds longevity to JPs
- JPs are already fun (for some), now they are rewarding
- Don’t have hop on the ‘champ train’ farm
- equally as challenging, if not more so, than killing a champ

Cons:
- Mesmer would port people to the end

I honestly love JPs, but after getting the JP achievements I never returned to them. Anet put a lot of work into them and I’d love to go back to them if they were rewarding. Yes, some players would bi-pass the JP by getting a port, but even then, I don’t see farming JPs to be any faster than farming champs, so I don’t think it would be game breaking. It would just be more diversity to get rewarded for one of the fun areas of the game. They could even add in new weapon skins that fall from JPs only!

TL;DR – JPs are fun, but never revisited after the achievement. Give them good loot. Farming them would still take longer and be more challenging than farming champs, so why not?

Discuss!

Jumping puzzles (along with mini-dungeons) will be some of the locations that begin rewarding ascended crafting materials once crafting to 500 goes live; this is intended to help make these areas more rewarding and fun to go back to and play.
