Guild Wars 2

With the introduction of the leaderboards the daily/monthly achievements have suddenly become essential for those who had no interest in the previous rewards.

In order to make the system fair for people who:

1) had no warning of leader boards and therefore did not complete both daily and pvp dailies
2) who did not start on launch
3) who had to take a holiday

the previous dailies and monthlies should be complete-able for achievement points but no monetary or item reward.

Once the current daily has completed the screen could change to the next most recent unfinished daily with a clear indication that this is a previous day’s daily and will give no reward. Such screens could appear until the account reaches the launch day daily.

No. There are plenty of other achievements which are time sensitive (halloween and christmas) or limited edition or even from a different game entirely (gw1).
