Q:
daily achievement points
I say daily and monthly achievement points should be deleted entirely. Dailies and monthlies are not achievements
The cap needs to stay – it was in part requested by the community in the first place;
- allows newer members to catch up to veterans
- players didn’t want to feel like they had to login daily to stay on top of ap and not be punished for unable to login for one day due to any number of mitigating reasons.
The 2g reward mitigates any need for removing the cap since it gives an alternative reason to do them

- Newer members will never catch up to Veteran AP hunters due to retired achievements.
- Yes, and Anet catered to that mindset with achievement points, when staying at the top of the charts ought to require staying on ones’ toes. Meanwhile, they gate basic HoT progression behind mini-games and a tiny post Mastery reward in HoT behind raids, which is aimed at a hardcore demographic. On one hand, they listen to people who “don’t wanna hafta,” on the other hand, they don’t.
- And whether the two gold reward “mitigates any need for removing the cap” is very much your opinion, and it’s one I don’t share. The fact is, discouraging people from logging in by removing things to do is never a good idea.
