Guild Wars 2

So now that achievement points have a value beyond some kind of arbitrary gauge of character progression and activity, can we have WvW achievement points overhauled (retroactively?) that gives a more accurate reflection of time spent doing it?

Out of hundreds of hours spent in WvW and thousands upon thousands of kills representing enormous amount of effort, I have less achievement points to show for it than 2 hours spent maxing two crafting skills.

It would be nice to be appropriately rewarded for our efforts since the system is HEAVILY skewed towards certain activities (basically anything not having to do with WvW).

What value do achievement points have now? Did I miss something?

I think the achievement point system encourages people to try out all the different activities this game offers. Since the announcement, I’ve taken a few days off from WvW to do some of the other things in game to get more achievement points. I can’t wait for the magic find boosts without losing any of my other stats.

From other posts, I know they are looking into revamping the WvW achievements to make them more realistically obtainable. The WvW dev team is already on it.

@OP

I completely agree.

I like the idea in general but in a sense it creates YAC (yet another currency). Gold, laurels, karma, badges, influence, guild merits, glory, gems, XP, WxP, lots of token variety and even skill points I am not looking forward to YAC.

New players must be completely overwhelmed with the ridiculous number of currencies needed to acquire items, skills, etc.

Great even more currencies to buy useless crap.

with the AP rewarsd system, i believe you just “unlock” goodies as you obtain more points. so you don’t have to “spend” them per se. not really a currency in that sense since you don’t actually “lose” it.

if its useless, can i assume you don’t care about them? if so, then it shoudln’t bother you, no? ; ))
