Why have you changed the Daily Tasks so much ?
The tasks used to be “doable”. I mean I don’t like PvP or WvW – I really don’t want to play either or. I love PvE on the other hand.
Why do you have to “force” us to play PvP and WvW ?
Please, jump back to the old system.
The game is absolutely fantastic, besides this.

You’re not forced to play pvp or wvw. I very, very rarely do the wvw dailies (and never do the pvp) ones, yet, I finish my Daily Completion achievement every single day.

I mean, what was today’s? Daily fractal (just one fractal; roll a level 1 starter fractal, and it’s easy). Maguuma miner, which is also easy (and could be done in someone’s home instance, if you have any friends/guildies with mining nodes in their home instances). Daily Shadow Behemoth (also very easy). And daily Harathi Hinterlands event completer; you can knock that out by doing Modniir centaur world boss event.

Anet needs big numbers to impress people with in regards to PvP, so they’re doing everything they can to be able to say “Look at us! #### of people use our PvP system every day! We’re an e sport!!”

There’s a difference between easy and doable.

Take today’s: Shadow Behemoth. Which ended about 5 minutes ago. I came online 3 minutes ago. So, easy, yet not doable as I won’t be online again in 2 hours.
Second: Harathi Hinterlands Events. Events are the worst dailies you can have, especially if only one area counts. I’ve given up on getting that one, unless I have multiple hours to burn or it’s in Wayfarer and I am in time for the Maw. Or it’s in SW.
The harvesting is always doable and easy.
And fractals is my own problem, as I hate partying with strangers…

Why do you “force” yourself not to? I never wanted to do WvW until I started leveling my Ranger in EotM, and now I’m doing WvW completion on my Guardian, and both of those are really easy ways to get the WvW dailies.

You just have to try new stuff sometimes.

Why are daily events hard, LadyRhonwyn?

I ask as someone who has world completion. I have the event tracker turned on. I hop into map, then wp to another spot because the tracker doesn’t seem to kick in on first entry. Voila, it points me to an event. Between that and folks in map chat linking event locations, I am normally done in 10 to 15 minutes and usually I finish each event rather than tag and vanish. I also make a point of doing shout outs in Map to alert others to escorts and timed defends that they’ll have time to get to.

What makes it take so long for those who don’t have completion? I’m not being snide (curse emotionless text), I’m curious and wondering how to help improve the situation.

Not being able to do SB because it only spawns every couple of hours is sort of understandable. Although, with a little planning, since it does spawn at least a dozen times in the given period it should be possible for anyone who actually plays every day.

But complaining that multiple hours are required to get the events in Harathi is just not true. I don’t like the area event dailies either because they do take a little longer, but any time the daily is in a particular map there will be people constantly calling out events. The hardest part may be tagging enemies to get credit. But even without callouts you can’t swing a dead charr in Harathi without hitting an event. It should take no more than 15-30 minutes to do that daily even if you just wander around yourself and take what pops.

It’s understandable that people want easy rewards. Some folks would like to just log in and be given 10 AP, but that is not reasonable. The achievement points are rewarded for…achievement. It should require at least a little effort. Not liking WvW or PvP is understandable. I am not a fan either and normally don’t do either. But when ANet is willing to give you a reward for just mapping to a borderland and running to stand on a ruin or killing a veteran creature or following a commander tag for 5 minutes while they take a camp or tower is not unreasonable. Rather than complaining about not having easier options in PvE, why not take advantage of those incredibly easy options they do give. WvW is actually mostly PvE anyway after all.

As an added bonus, you might find you like WvW, or at the very least doing a bit of is likely to improve your play.

Lets be perfectly fair about this – the daily task is Log In. That’s it. If you want 10AP feel free to pick 3 things from this grab bag, if you want to I guess. If you want what’s specifically in those boxes, go right ahead and do that specific challenge.

I really think that anyone that complains about this has it backwards. Everything that was in the daily/monthly is now frontloaded. You will earn this by logging in and doing nothing else. Everything except AP. If you’re complaining about having to go out of your way to earn 10 Achievement points, then I invite you to just not do them. Its your choice as to whether the time involved to earn your 10AP is worth that particular reward.

This is really a non issue. They changed something and change is bad.
