Can something be done to make contracts desirable again?  Before, they gave exceptionals tokens which were fantastic for farming, and made them worth doing.  With the F2P transition, and making them only be superbs, contracts are borderline pointless to do unless they coincide with something you were already going to do.
 
Can contracts tier three rewards and possibly the top milestone (if not the others as well) give exceptional tokens that can be used on the vendbots that are already in the game?  You'd incentivise your community into doing as many contracts as they can to farm those.

			This was also mentioned to me by some guys that had been playing for about 6 months before ftp (when I started playing) shortly before they quit. They couldn't understand why incentive for raiders to do things outside of raid had been removed, it just doesn't make any sense. At least it was a RELIABLE way to grind top runes, unlike the completely off putting random as hell glory gamble bags that are people's only option now. Which the majority of people I know don't want to participate in due to the EXTREME randomness of rate of rewards (usually a BAD ratio).

This maybe a shock to you :) but most of the game don't raid, and don't want to raid! Some like me ^^ will only stick runes in our gear...if, when or whatever! Contracts are a great way to gear up our chars, this in turn makes daily life on Nexus more enjoyable. And seeing the contract board is the busiest place on Nexus, many share my take on things ? But also guessing raiders need a place to start.

			do they still have a chance to drop the random mount and pets from the top tier random reward?  if so, it would be nice to add a few more in there.  what about some class set runes, or set foci of raid quality?  not a guaranteed drop but a chance.  this may help the appeal.  contracts are great for alts though.

I do contracts all the time even though I don't need any of the rewards, and personally I would like to see the rewards change after a certain amount of contracts are completed...get to the top tier 5 times and the rune bags go from superb to pure or maybe the gear just turns to cash rewards or even dye crates.  
 
I would be totally happy if they would add a pure rune crate option to the top so that those of us who don't need the gear or a new mount get a chance at some class foci. I used to make money from selling fragments but superb rune fragments and set foci are everywhere now especially after the WB event so they aren't even worth selling anymore.

Once you exhaust all the rewards, you get junk that vendors for 5 plat. Making the top tier worth over 7 plat. Not bad.
----
			Well, personally I am HAPPY when I "finish" contract rewards on a toon because I prefer the 5 plat reward.

			Some really solid contract ideas here (I think the raid oriented ones mentioned above).  Interested to hear others.	
----
			Imho, simply handing out some exceptional rune tokens would be the easiest solution. New raid-related contracts would be interesting, but then they'd probably require substantial changes to the entire contract system (like being on a weekly basis).

			The top tier PvP contract chests should give enhancements (aka pvp gear imbuement thingamabob).

Damn Riv, someone's hunting.
 
Interested to hear any dev input.

With the price of Divine majors with the 2.5p + 5p reward at the end you'll be almost halfway to buying one!

Where are these divine majors for 5p? cause Entity Dom they are 9-15p

			Yeesh. Definitely some good ideas in here. I know at the moment there is kind of very little reason to bother with contracts for a chunk of folks I know. So this would definitely help provide some more meaning to it.	
----
			i currently only bother with the tier 3 contracts and the tier two that i can complete in dungeons or raids.  if there were better incentives, i would most likely do more.  this was one change with f2p that was a regression imo.  the rewards just got worse instead of better.  i wont turn away 7 p though, but that is not a great big carrot for me, as i have a hefty bankroll at this point. but i am greedy.

			Thanks for the feedback here, as it is a valid point. While we are certainly still planning on keeping this as a viable means for non-raiders to progress, we are going to be looking into working some higher quality rewards back into the system in the near future.	
----
			I would like if contracts had more tiers and with different rewards and for the last tier have a nice cosmetic which could change each month. ( kinda like the dash board in blade and soul) .
