Guild Wars 2

15 Laurels = 1 map 100%

Benefits:

1. Unused Laurel can be use as an item for Legendary progressions

2. Doing map is very boring like a boring kitten

3. 15 Laurels = 15 days of boring lazy mapping day

wait you want 15 laurels for every map at 100%?
or spend 15 laurels to get 1 map at 100%?

I’d like to think that OP means 15 laurels as an additional reward for 100% map completion. In which case, I think it’s a pretty decent idea considering how the other rewards don’t seem very useful unless you plan on crafting a legendary imo.

He means 15 laurels for one map, which is just insane.

laurels are meant for daily/monthly to keep people playing, they are not being added to anything else.

also, adding extra rewards to map completion per map just creates another grind. speedrun queensdale for 100% map completion etc.

I think it’s fine as it is, just some extra small reward upon map completion.

This would mean that a totally new player, who just map completed a few zones, is able to buy Ascended Jewellery… haha

I’m thinking the OP means he wants to buy a map to 100% with 15 laurels.

15 Laurels is waaaay to much as a reward
1 laurel per map is however a GREAT idea.. 2 max! for higher level maps/bigger maps. The rewards we do get now are quite kittenty tbf for the time invested.. but adding a laurel would make it better rewarded at least.
however.. spending laurels to unlock maps.. NOT a good idea either.

that kind or reward would make me at least trying to return to PVE

I’m up for that kind of change. 1 laurel per 1 map sound great! [- areas like DR, etc].

No I’m pretty sure OP’s asking to be able to ‘buy’ map completion using their laurels. From what I’m understanding, they’d want to spend 15 laurels for a full map completion.

To which my answer would be: no. You can get laurels in half an hour if not less, the amount of work put it is nowhere near equivalent. The gift of exploration requirement is there to make you work for the legendary, and to be able to bypass it like this would be ridiculous.

2 Laurels for a map, and 15 for full would be a nice addiction

15 laurels to get 100% map completion??? That’s what, 5 days worth or playing if you do the monthly and 5 dailies? Yea….I’m thinking a big no on that one. Especially considering you can do a daily in ~20min, and a monthly in ~1hr, that’s basically full map completion in ~2.5hrs play time.

I wouldn’t mind adding laurels as a reward for map completion. I agree with the majority that 15 per map would be way too high (though admittedly, I could use them easily). For some maps, 1 or 2 might be a bit low though. After all, some maps are just super annoying to complete. I could see doing (at max) 5 for the 70+ maps (Straights, FG, Malchor, Cursed), and scaling down from there.

I think Exeon (along with most people who agree with the proposal) means rewards. This whole thread is a precious ball of confusion due to the extensive explanations provided by the OP. ;D

Buying map completion for laurels = a big no-no.

Adding them as a reward = why not. Also retroactively, if possible (a map completion junkie here).

That’s how I see it.

If ya read OP again it clearly says buy 1 map to 100% with 15 laurels cause map grinding is boring.

No, you want map completion, you do it, not buy your way out of it. This is a silly idea because OP is clearly bone idle. thousands of people have done map, it shouldn’t be changed, just because some people are lazy, and used to buying their way out of doing things.

“Been there, done that” would’ve kinda lost its meaning, huh?

haha if they dont do it retroactivelay (in case they even do it at all) i feel with that 1 guy that has over 18 world completitions xD

Admittedly if they did do something like this and didn’t reward it retroactively, a lot of people would be kittened off. Considering they didn’t retroactively reward lvl 80s with the most recent leveling reward revamps, I don’t think they would with this. Due to the outrage this would cause, I can honestly see that as enough deterrent to implementing something like this at all.

Yeah, OP is saying he wants to spend 15 laurels to auto complete 100% one map.

People would use those laurels for the WvW maps w/o a second thought :P

Except that I typically get more loot in a FoTM run or a couple hours in EoTM train than all of the 1-80 rewards combined…

I don’t think it’s necessary to retro us those particular rewards. Laurels for map completion, yes, I would want the retro’d as there is no way to supplement that commodity. But just loot in general? Nah, no thanks, I get enough salvage fodder.

I think the OP wants the option to spend 15 laurels to get a 100% map completed.

1 laurel for completing a map would be a nice reward. Completely against the buying completion with laurels though.

I am against buying map completion in PvE maps but am open to the idea of doing it in WvW. I can understand how frustrating it is to have to wait weeks even months for a chance to get towers added to map completion. I’d say the cost would have to be a lot for WvW maps and it can only be done with WvW maps.

I don’t like the idea of buying map completion, not even in WvW, honestly. I’ve been sitting at 98% world completion for several weeks now (I needed 1 vista in the green keep and 1 vista in a red tower in EB) without the ability to get the last couple items. I was on AR and we…..just haven’t been doing so well. I finally broke down and changed servers with some of my guildies that wanted to get more into WvW. Still need 1 more vista, but as long as I’ve waited, I wouldn’t feel right “buying” it.

Yes i did mean rewards in NO way do i think we should be able to “buy” map completion

Well, i can get on board with this idea. the laurels would for sure give me a reason to bother trying to get 100% map completion again on my multitude of alts.

I disagree with that, 15 laurels are way way too low for something like that, considering you are getting 2 gifts of exploration. 100 sounds more like it.

I would like to get a laurel (1) when I complete an area, like some have suggested. If this happens the aforementioned price should be bumped to 200.

hahaha.. oh yes pls….. i have 420+ laurels sitting in my wallet….

Nah, not supported. I think we get enough laurels as is.

Got 632 sitting in my bank right now, and that’s after I already bought 5 Ascended amulets and the Karmic infusions to go in them.

Buy me tier 6 mat bags? i mean if you arent using them! i could sure use the tier 6 mats from those :P

That’s what I do with them whenever Daily Laurel Vendor comes up. I buy 20 Heavy Crafting Bags. But it comes up rarely enough that between getting 1 Laurel every day and the Monthly, I’m still slowly accumulating Laurels.

Buy 250 of them for me and give me the mats i could really use them for my legendary! xD

Hehe~ i kid, but i never have that many because i always buy stuff with them~

Yeah, it’s because I’m not going for a Legendary that I have so many of them. Still, I’m keeping them in reserve in case ANet does release new Legendaries one day.

Psh, asking for a way to bypass the legendary system and get one with other currency? What nonsense!

Oh wait… the TP…

If you actually read the OP, including “benefits” 1 and 2, it is obvious that the OP wants to spend 15 laurels to complete one map, not gain 15 laurels for completing one map.

Im sorry, ive read the OP several times and it seems to go like this to me.

Doing map is boring kitten, so lets give a reward that can be used to go to a legendary.

But without the OP coming in to clear it up, who can tell, and even if you are right. i still like the idea of getting laurels for map completion!

Bad idea.

Now, if you were to have completion of one map reward 3-5 laurels, that would be a great idea.

Yeah, which ever is, I don’t agree with. I would support 3 laurels for 100% of world completion though.

ok i think spending laurels to get a map at 100% is completely nonsense

but getting laurels would be ok

depends a bit though:
1 laurel per map might be too much
i think people should get 10 laurels for 100% world completition

and if people really want 1 laurel per map then i think the starter zones should be excluded… or people would just create new chars clear the 5 zones quick and delete and repeat…

omg. not 15 Laurels for whole 100% map kitten. I mean 15 Laurels per map.

Example: 15 Laurels = Queendales, 15 Laurels = LionArch,etc

15 laurels for nothing? No, thanks. I prefer them being rare.
