I had an idea the other day that might throw a little bit of variety into the game. I was thinking once a week, say on mondays, a champion boss would show up in some obscure corner of a random map (maybe even in a jump puzzle?). This champion would not have a group event associated with it, and would be fairly difficult to find. Upon killing the beast a guaranteed token would drop, for example, “giant troll head” that could be turned in for a bounty reward. There could then be an NPC or a “wanted” board similar to the war in kryta bounties that would offer a reward for killing this creature. The reward could scale based on difficulty to find or kill etc. The bounty could be up all week, collectible only once a week, and would be account based, but the rewards for this bounty could be impressive, such as say, 5 gold, or a random rare/exotic. I feel that this could add more of a dynamic real life feel to pve rather than going out to a zone and farming events that have been rotating their for 5 months now. It could allow players to feel like they accomplished something difficult in finding and killing a powerful and hard to find creature, and be rewarded appropriately for doing so. It could also give small groups something to pursue for a couple hours, or challenge particularly skilled players who feel like they can track and kill the beast on their own (which could also open up another door to increased rewards?)
Just an idea that I feel could spice up the pve environment a little, I’m open to criticism or additions to the idea.

I’ve posted this before but yeah. Same deal, weekly bounty hunt for the roaming champions all over Tyria. Maybe to spice it up even further, every time that champion kills a player it becomes slightly stronger encouraging people to take it as a group and not risk soloing it and dieing. Also the harder it gets possibly a slight increase in drop quality (5g is too much though, shouldn’t even drop more than 20silver, items are more important). Small bundle of tier 6 mats, random rare/exotic (thats appropriate, wouldn’t drop tear of grenth or moonshank or anything).

Ah sorry i didnt do a whole lot of looking through the threads, so didnt mean to jack ur idea.
As to the rewards i just kinda threw somethin out there to make a point, 5g might be a little much but then again, if it takes a couple of days for people to find it, a significant amount of time invested should be rewarded with a pretty good reward. I just hope something like this gets implemented, because the whole dynamic real world environment that we are supposed to have isnt really blowing anyone’s skirt up when you have the same 6 or 7 events on a rotation in a zone for all of eternity. you can only capture all the centaur camps so many times before it feels significantly less epic.
