We have dailies for almost everything else, why not add heart(s) completion to daily achievements?
I don’t foresee an negatives and it falls in along with the rest of the general PvE gather, events etc.
Personally I would like it as a motivator. Heart completion is one of the most boring aspects of the GW2 World and having an incentive to do them beyond map completion and an inconsequential reward would make them more appealing.
I doubt everyone has completed all hearts across all their toons….. and if they have, they can simply choose one of the other dailies to complete.
A warrior, a guardian, and an elementalist walk into an open field…
The Warrior turns to the guardian and says, “Did you hear something?”
Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”
All 8 of my characters have world completion – in order to complete a heart, I would have to make a new char. I like having the option to do every single one of the dailies.
EDIT: Is 800 gems for a new slot (even cheaper on sale) or other alternatives such a hindrance. If you have oodles of time to chase all these achievement points I don’t see it as a deal l breaker.

You have Personal Story as a Daily Option and more people will have that done than map completion. It is still just one option of atm 11. 3-5 hearts seem ok. Maybe add “Watch X vistas?”
Nah, no hearts. Don’t get me wrong, I love doing heart quests as I level up, but I don’t want to see them in Daily. Instead hearts, why not add PoIs and Vistas? You can always revisit a vista, or a PoI. There could even be PoI/ Vistas in specific zones on random basis.

Very good point.
I also just considered you could merge dailies “complete 4 events or 4 hearts”. It would sync nicely and you may even kill 2 birds with one stone.

yes, it wouldn’t be fair on those who have completed all hearts!
Just like with the skill point accumulator daily . It’s unfair to players that finished all their skill points.
Except you can level up 3 times, and get a skill point from those. Or buy some Skill Points from Fractals.
Why should people start a new alt if they don’t want too?
Why are skill points being sold in fractals? That’s just stupid.
You don’t have to get a NEW level, you can get skill points from levelling from 80 to 80.
Skill points are being sold in fractals because why not. They’re a few fractal relics, which have little use once you have the backpiece/bags you need.

That is a good point on the surface, however, most people with alts (as far as I know) complete the personal story only on one character, as it becomes the same for everyone in later levels. They complete the personal stories on the alts only to the point where the character gets sent into Orr with Trahearne. So that leaves a lot of personal story instances on alts to be used for dailies later.
Secondly, you can take part in somebody else’s personal story, but you cannot “guest” on somebody else’s hearts.
Thirdly, there is already synergetic effects with other dailies: daily kills, kill variety, aquatic kills, kills in Maguuma/Kryta/Ascalon/Shiverpeaks are all dailies that you will advance in while doing appropriate hearts.
All that being said, I personally don’t care if hearts are added to dailies – there’s enough variety in there to always offer at least 5 doable tasks for everyone, even if you disregard WvW, Dungeons and Minigames completely. Adding hearts won’t do any harm. The number of players with world-completion-maxed characters on all available slots is very low, and chances are high that these are the very players who will just do WvW/Dungeon run/etc. instead with ease.
