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

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.

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.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

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.

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.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

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.

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.

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 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.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

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.

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.

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

2. Doing map is very boring like a boring kitten

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!

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…
