Because doing all dailies every day for the AP prevents you from doing the things in the game you actually enjoy.

Because there were several threads by people who felt compelled to do all the dailies every single day, who wanted a cap on the dailies so they could eventually be forced to stop and ANet listened to them.

Except they are forever behind due to all the missed achievements from season one living story.

That’s true. New people can get relatively close to veteran players even missing those achievements. Imagine people starting the game in 2-3 years from now without the daily ap cap.

About 4,471 achievements points they can no longer get with 462 coming from SAB.

Or they simplay want to prevent people from reaching so many points that they are way beyond the rewards.

They have rewards that start past 36000 ap, which is impossible to get anywhere close to at this point. An entire new set of weapons. That argument doesn’t make any sense.

You have a link to show these weapons? And Im pretty sure without that cap there would be already people beyond 36k ap.

I regret not doing SAB more and more. I thought it was something that I could just finish at my leisure. And then one day it was just gone.

Because people thought that Anet was holding a gun to their head and forcing them to do all the dailies or they would fall behind in some non-existent competition.

For a more practical reason, due to the poor weighting of various achievements such as capturing hundreds of camps for a piddling couple of AP, dailies and monthlies would greatly overshadow AP from other sources.

They are still holding another gun to our head: You have to farm gold or either you will fall back regarding to weapons/ armor skins and shopitems which you only can compensate if you put a large sum of real life money in it.

the AP Caps are there for Achievement Hunter Leaderboards. Not new people. It was said somewhere on this forum awhile back.

I doubt anyone would be anywhere near 36k without the cap. And so what if they are? Clearly anet intends for people to have upwards of 50k ap at some point.

Pinnacle weapons start at 29k AP, last Zenith is awarded at 28k.
Too bad they look very ugly and I will never use any of them.
