Ill give this a bump. Out of all the annual pass [i]garbage[/i] the menagerie was the only bright spot and choosing the reward was the best thing to happen in this otherwise trashy sequel to a great game.

That's called [i]crafting.[/i] crafting isn't an essential part of [b][i]every[/i][/b] activity in games. It needs to be expanded on but not attached to raid encounters. Perhaps we get loot like normal and then we craft materials [i]from[/i] said activities and make themed gear based on the resources given.
