The daily takes me about ten minutes. The rewards for that 10 minutes are pretty good. It’s hardly an imposition.
You must have way more luck than I have then…
Take today:
Maw: 2 hours wait
Kessex events: with luck, I might get 4 in 30 minutes
Activity: it’s been ages since I"ve done that, but I do know it was never done within 10 minutes.
Maguuma Wastes miner: costs me money, but can be done fast
WwW guards: will take a lot of time, as my borderland is mostly our colour
WvW camps: see above
WvW tower: forget those unless you’re very lucky
WvW land claimer: see above
PvP Capture: 5 minutes wait, then 10 to 15 minutes in a game
PvP Reward earner: done in the same time as above
PvP winners: about 3 or 4 hours unless very lucky
So, that’s at least 20 minutes, if I’m lucky. I usually end up in a deathmatch map if we’ve a capture daily…
Let’s just say, I completely ignore dailies on days like these
PvP cooperative daily room. Ten minutes. Even if you only do the easiest ones and avoid the wins, you’d usually have to do something like gathering, which is nothing, and maybe a vista. You don’t PvP, you cooperatively get a daily in a PvP room. Nothing to do with luck.
Don’t even know what that pvp cooperative daily room is…
And usually, I’ll do my daily, but on days like today, I’ll just skip it. Too much trouble for not enough reward.
It’s a custom daily room that’s there specifically to do the daily achievements. You’re supposed to remain on the same team between matches as it alternates who wins but many people don’t do that. It ends up who is quicker to spam to join the winning team.
Raven is designated for defender, bear is designated to swap captures, orb is for kills, and wolf remains capped for the team that wins. Orb can generally be run whenever by the winning team. It’s also polite to ask for permission to kill someone but you can usually tell you’ve been given that if they’re jumping in front of you.
It usually takes no more than 7 minutes to win a round. It takes me on average less than 10 minutes since I join before reset as I know which professions will have the win daily after reset. I once finished all four dailies in 3 minutes as it was a double engineer win day.
More or less. Some are always red wins. Some are always blue wins and some alternate red and blue. They might say on the arena description or you might have to go inside and find out. Not all have orbs. Skyhammer doesn’t.
The rules differ between each arena but there are common rules that repeat. One cap site is used for switching between sides. The other 2 are for the winning side. Each place will have a designated spot for killing and getting defender. If the arena has a host and he is in (the arena will have HOST IN on the description) then he will make sure that everyone gets a win by switching all to the winning side at some point.
Basically, if you don’t know the rules as to who wins or where the kill site is you ask in map chat (or you can tell by the crowd of people killing in one spot)
I’m only speaking about one specific server which always has a lot of people.
True. But he also might go to Skyhammer, which is where MAD, Bear and KoR have their dailies, and those places are always busy when they are up during prime time a few hours after reset. (And MAD is almost always up and occupied).
I must have my filters set up differently because I only see maybe a dozen of so daily servers and only one of them is usually full or close to it.
Really? I gues so. At reset I’ll try to get into the various Skyhammer arenas over and over and get told each time it’s full.
I’m not talking about just at reset.
I’m not so sure why it bothers you that I clarified that not all arenas are the same or have the same rules so that you need to keep commenting about it. On my listings the Skyhammer ones are prominent. I can’t help what is on your listings or that you assume everyone plays at the same time that you play.
Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I’m referring to throughout the day. I have only ever seen one that is highly populated through most of the day. That’s the one that I used in my example.
I just gave a clarification that not all are the same. I think it’s very strange that this bothers you that you need to keep bringing it up, but I guess that’s life in the forum.
Goodbye
