In GW1, a similar “Daily Tasks” system was implemented that provided Zaishen Coins similar to laurels (in that they were provided daily, and that you could exchange these tokens for exclusive rewards). Some Z-Quests were very Easy/ALT friendly (Tihark Orchard, Imperial Sanctum, Random Arena); others were very intensive (The Black Beast of Arrgh, any Z-Vanquish, GvG).In addition, they provided experience, Gold, and sometimes other rewards based on the nature of the quest (Racial points, Imperial Faction, Balthazar Faction, etc).

I think that the GW1 Z-Quests were not “truly” a daily in that you could store up to 3 Quests of a particular category to complete at the player’s leisure. Also, I think that being able to sell the reward tokens made some purchases trivial to those with lots of gold.

I was just curious as to what the (this) community prefers between GW2 Dailies or GW1 Z-Quests

I loved the Zaishen, but I feel it is much too time consuming for more casual players now. Most people only play 1-2 hours a day and they would much rather play the part of the game that they love then spend so much time on dailies.

Ah memories, there were some missions and bounties that I simply skipped all the time…
