Guild Wars 2

Is this new “Collections” system just the scrapped precursor scavenger hunt? I remember ArenaNet said we were getting a scavenger hunt for precursors at some point. This new collection system seems like it is totally a scavenger hunt with rewards, sans precursors.

In my opinion this is a cool new system. You get to go around collecting stuff and you get stuff in return. I think the whole reason the community wanted this though was for a way to get a non RNG precursor. At what point do we get that system that rewards us with a non RNG precursor? Is that off the table because precursors are such money makers because of the gem shop? Is that one of the reasons for the delay of that system?

Where do you get the idea that collection achievements will destroy the chance of a precursor hunt? It seems like a really good way to implement it to me. It probably won’t be part of this patch, but it might make it easier in the future.

I don’t have the idea it will destroy it. All I am saying is that this looks like what the scavenger hunt for precursors was going to be. They implemented the scavenger hunt and left out the precursors. the only reason people wanted a scavenger hunt in the first place was to have a way to get a precursor without the RNG.

That doesn’t mean I don’t think the addition of this feature isn’t cool. I very much think it’s a great addition. 2
