Guild Wars 2

TLDR: Adding a Hard Cap to Daily and Monthlies is a must!

I love the monthly and daily achievement rewards and that we are able to earn them through so many interesting ways. However I feel the points they award even a single point trivializes every other achievement.

A players months of farming for their first legendary amount to 5 skill points, which are instantly marginalized by completing a single five daily achievements to earn you your daily reward.

Killing 30 Bunnies, talking to a laurel vendor, and so on each give you 1/5th of what that first legendary earns you.

Although they do not take up a great deal of time, they do take up time I would rather spend doing dungeons, fighting bosses, or enjoying another aspect of the game that they do not always overlap with.

You eventually realize it becomes not who has the most skill to earn achievements but who has the most time to sink in farming them.

I thought guild wars was supposed to be friendlier about play at your leisure, without worrying about being left in the dust.

I would like to see the points hard capped after you receive the reward from daily/monthlies so many times? Maybe you would stop earning points at maybe 1000 total points for each?

Equally preferably and probably much more controversial, a wipe of all achievement points that have been earned through these tracks. Achievements are a large part of end game. Having them feel trivialized I start to loose enjoyment out of playing Guild Wars.

If you think you worked hard for you achievement points farming them each day. Then what about the people who worked to earn their legendaries, mini pets, culture armor, jumping puzzle completion, dungeon completion, pvp achievements, wvw achievement and so on?

Please be thoughtful with your responses, give support to what you say. Flaming me does not change the validity of my experience. Give me a positive way to look at daily and monthlies points or feel free to support my current view of them.

True, the dailies are kind of weird, excluding wvw and spvp ,I mean, why do I need to get 40 kills in shiverpeaks, or 25 underwater kills…

I stopped looking at the leaderboards for achievements when I realized that daylies and monthlies count towards it.

I already know who of my friends spends most of the time in the game. What I don’t know (and would love to know) is: which of my friends has earned his achievement points?

He’s not making a point about the dailies, if you read. He’s saying that dailies should not be worth Achievement points, which I fully agree with.

Achievement points are a fun way to compare completion with friends. But it’s impossible to have any sort of game or contest when the people with the most Achievement points are simply the ones who do their dailies more often. I took a break from the game for a bit and just came back last week and I know I’ll never catch up to people who did not take that break. It’s frustrating.

I agree. All this is doing is inflating everyone’s achievement points. I think if anything, they just need to at least cap them out at a certain number daily. For instance, once you finish 5 for the daily, you no longer receive points for each daily after that (but still the experience) Or even cap it out at 10 DAILY achievement points each day. 6 MAX on the standard ones and then all 4 PvP dailies, or 8 normal dailies and only 2 PvP dailies.

Exactly, I love dailies/monthlies and will continue to do them, achievement points or not.

They should just remove the achievement points from dailies and monthlies. I mean really, is it achievement worthy to kill 25 underwater enemies. Really? Was that an impressive feat of skill?

I’d love to have a possible roof for the achievement points, not an “I didn’t play for one month = I’ll never be able to catch up”
