I just received 20 mystic coins, 64 copper and 7620 experience for the monthly achievement.
Are the money and experience a bug? As far as I remember we get about 5 silver and also 7k experience for the daily. So I would expect the monthly to reward more money and experience, not less or equal than the daily.
Last month there was an issue with the achievement completion, maybe this is another bug. What were the rewards from the August achievement?

Thats exactly what I got last night and I was riled up for 20 min, maybe more! About 30 min later I finished my daily, for 6 silver, 7k+ xp, 1 mystic coin, and transmution stones…so what took me about 1 hour paid off way better then what took most of the month.
Part of that monthly was to breakdown what 500 items? When I think how much I spent just on those kits, the 67 copper really looks even more sad /sigh
I was so excited to finish that monthly, was sure it was going to be awesome…being it was a MONTH worth of work…..not so much bleh!
I know I can sell the mystic coins, but I dont feel like I should have to sell my “reward” to make it actually feel like a reward.
Apparently this is not bugged. If you look at other parts of the game, you will see that generally the rewards are pretty terrible. You don’t want to know what you will get for defeating Zhaitan on your last story quest, you know, the almighty elder dragon: a handful of low level blue equipments and a few coins.
Pathetic, really. You aren’t rewarded for accomplishing things in this game, which makes no sense at all to any reasonable mind…
Just a heads up: Mystic Coins aren’t gonna get cheaper…
So it’s completely ok for you to be rewarded about 30 silver in goods and 7k experience for investing ~100 hours or more into completing the map fully?

That’s not what I said.
I simply was saying to hang on to your “rewards” to make them more worthwile in the future.
Are the money and experience portions of the reward depending on character level?
I completed the monthly on my level 80 main, but did some contribution to the achievement on a new alt, which got to level 16 before finishing the achievement on the main. The achievement is account wide, but maybe money and experience are based on the levels of contributing characters?
The rewards from playing GW didn’t exactly pile up quickly, very meager rewards that were primarily junk loots. Your blues and greens here are worth about what the NPC will pay you for them. I guess the rewards from daily and monthly achievements are primarily the achievement points. Your mystic coins can be used to unlock some items and recipes with the mystic forge, i’m sure they’re worth more than the few coppers you could sell em for.
My gripe about monthly is different. I don’t like PvP.
But to get a monthly achievement, I have to play PvP.
I don’t like pvp, and in part, I am not good at it because I don’t enjoy it enough to work at it.
I think it should be separate. Then people who PvP can get their reward without playing pve, and I could get
my reward without stinking up the pvp worlds, joining a team only to be the weakest link
and hurt their chances.
People who like both can get two achievements – great for them.
Obviously, agree with the first post, double, because I would have to not have fun
for 4 levels of achievement
to get an inadequate reward. Right, I stopped bothering to look at the monthly tab. :-(

Spent the last two days pushing for the monthly salvage, wishing I would’ve just checked the wiki. Utterly useless rewards, and oh by the way Survivor is bugged. I’m level 45, don’t die often yet it’s been stuck around 33K XP, so I have to believe the wiki.
Even so, 100K XP without dying? How could they put that in? It’s not enough that you need to WvW even if you don’t want to, but this just completely changes how people play. Maybe I won’t go help those two players getting whipped by a Champion, I might die and reset! Ugh, please tell me monthlies will rotate or something, I’d prefer if that one is removed as it is skill-based and not something you normally work toward.
I hate to sound whiny, I always defended GW in my years of playing, but this is bad.
Yes, the rewards are really lackluster. I think they need to be upped significantly. Mystic coins are only worth a silver. You shouldn’t have to sell your entire reward just to get decent $$. To be honest it’s a month of effort you can only do it once a month I don’t see the harm in giving a straight 30-50s along with a decent exp rate.
As far as survivor it’s really easy once you hit 60ish because exp scales up over time. By then 100k will feel like nothing. I accidentally did it while in timberline falls this month.
Worst reward is without doubt what you get from completing your story. What a let down that was. On my alt, I don’t even want to do any story before they change this.
Never been so dissapointed about completing something in a game.
