As someone who runs nodes for the rewards only and doesn’t PVE for placement (perhaps progressions would change my mind!) I -love- wave nodes precisely because they give me all rewards in one shot. I wish all nodes did that!
Forcing folks to run very long (wave) nodes over and over would be a bummer.
But in all the new “test” PVE runs, wave nodes only give out 1 reward per completion, and as a player who does play for scoring, I am looking for a way to make doing the wave nodes over and over less tedious.
I would like to have extra rewards for the wave nodes as well. If I have to do it 7 times, I should get 7 sets of rewards. And they should all be as good as the first set of rewards! Waves can take 5 - 10 minutes to complete! I shouldn’t just win points!
