The first time I entered each zone was amazing. Doing map completion on that first character was such a thrill and made for some really good game play. However, I am now on my 5th level 80 and as I go through Bloodtide Coast again I’m really starting to yawn.

I don’t want to lose the Gift of Exploration for 100% completion but how about you sell us an option to unlock the map for each character. Not everything completed on each character but maybe no fog of war (or whatever the painted effect if before exploration). Maybe charge some gold to unlock waypoints account wide?

It was fun the 1st time.
It was ok the 2nd time.
It was a chore the 3rd time.
It was annoying the 4th time.
And it is soul crushing the 5th time.

how many legionaries do you want to do it 5 times. Also each time they add more areas i think you can get the 2 gift of exploration again. So honestly how many are you shooting for?

I would like to have one of each eventually but for now I’m saving a little for the potential for the 2nd generation of them.

But my real beef is more about having to start over in exploration for each new character I build. It kind of makes building a new character annoying.

Actually, the only extra area that has been added, Southsun Cove, doesn’t contribute to world exploration.

I could not do it on a second char I think, due to the obligatory 4 WvWvW maps, and the region of Orr, which I hated :p

You could say the same thing about dungeon. I literately did cof path1 thousands of times. And maybe hundreds of times for the other dungeon.

Maybe they should give free tokens and gold to me everyday. It is fun the first time…. etc

Honestly, just get the waypoints(that is if you even intend to do guild mission on those char), you really dont’ need “the other stuff”.

I don’t think your example is the same.

I’m not even saying do it for free if you read my posts. I’d be fine with paying either Gems or Gold to get it. Or heck maybe add some content in the game that unlocks that sort of thing. Running some kind of quest line to get special account access to the waypoints would be really cool.

Don’t even bother with Map completion cause of the forced WvW to complete it but that is just me I won’t do anything pvp. So I will never know what legendaries even are.

Pay it with your time. You dont’ even need to get all the waypoint, just get the one you want. Either it is for guild mission/harvesting/ or events.

I dont’ think it even take long. Can’t take more than a couple hour to do that.

Time is far, far more precious than money.

For what it’s worth I’ve been playing for more than a year and still not completed map exploration. Not even remotely interested in Legendary weapons.

Oh this subject again, Anet will never remove WvW from world exploration, they said so already. I don’t PVP as well I would come in last and yet it has not kept me from having all professions with 3 × 100%, 2 × 99%, 1 × 98%, 2 × 97%. It’s so simple wait for whatever point of interest or vista to be available and go get it. Even if you get killed, repair is now meaningless and so is dyeing. It means something only for whoever’s ego killed you.

I’m not talking about map completion. I’m talking about way point. It take like 2 hours to get all the way point I need for harvesting.

So if anyone willing to pay 800 gems for all the way point, Be my guess. I don’t care if Anet add it to the gem store.

If it’s for map completion…. Why would people care about map completion, when they dont’ care about map completion. That dont’ make sense.

If it is for legendary. You can just buy it if you think money is more precious than time.

Hybarf it is not as easy as you think…..if you cannot stay on yer feet long enough to get to anything then yer not going to get crap. So what you say is a bit hard I know cause I have tried and could not get more then 2 points of interest and maybe one waypoint.
