[QUOTE="Toryx, post: 3940937, member: 56441"] I don't think there has to be something to replace that instant reward of the loot at the bottom of the tunnel. I think that if the point of the game is the adventure, then simple survival and success will be enough of a reward on it's own. Historically (pre-3.x) that was much more often the case. It's only recently that there needed to be a pile of loot at the end to make the adventure worthwhile. That's what works for me, anyway. I want to get back to that motivation and reward. I'd rather have magic items and big piles of gold be more rare so that I appreciate it no matter what or how much it is. I'll still have the thrill/ reward of triumph and anything else is a delightful bonus instead of an expectation. Then again, maybe the 3.x system of immediate financial gratification is simply a reflection of society today that can't be overcome. That would be, in my opinion, a real shame. [/QUOTE]
